  • The Reclamation of Sami Identity and the Traces of Swedish Colonialism
    THE RECLAMATION OF SAMI IDENTITY AND THE TRACES OF SWEDISH COLONIALISM A qualitative study about the formation of Saminess and Sami identity Master’s Programme in Social Work and Human Rights Degree report 30 higher education credit Spring 2020 Author : Frida Olofsson Supervisor : Adrián Groglopo Abstract Title: The Reclamation of Sami identity and the traces of Swedish colonialism : A qualitative study about the formation of Saminess and Sami identity Author: Frida Olofsson Key words (ENG): Sami identity, Saminess, Sami people, Indigenous People, identity Nyckelord (SWE): Samisk identitet, Samiskhet, Samer, Urfolk, Identitet The purpose of this study was to study identity formation among Sami people. The aim was therefore to investigate how Saminess and Sami identity is formed and specifically the way the Sami community transfers the identity. Semi structured interviews were conducted and the material was analyzed by the use of a thematic analysis. In the analysis of the material, four main themes were : Transfer of Sami heritage over generations, Sami identity, Expressions about being Sami and Sami attributes. The theoretical framework consisted of Postcolonial theory and theoretical concepts of identity. The main findings showed that the traces of colonialism is still present in the identity-formation of the Sami people and that there is a strong silence-culture related to the experiences of colonial events which consequently also have affected the intergenerational transfer of Saminess and Sami identity. Furthermore, the will to reclaim the Sami identity, heritage and the importance of a sense of belonging is strongly expressed by the participants. This can in turn be seen as a crucial step for the decolonization process of the Sami population as a whole.

  • Sami in Finland and Sweden
    A baseline study of socio-economic effects of Northland Resources ore establishment in northern Sweden and Finland Indigenous peoples and rights Stefan Ekenberg Luleå University of Technology Department of Human Work Sciences 2008 Universitetstryckeriet, Luleå A baseline study of socio-economic effects of Northland Resources ore establishment in northern Sweden and Finland Indigenous peoples and rights Stefan Ekenberg Department of Human Work Sciences Luleå University of Technology 1 Summary The Sami is considered to be one people with a common homeland, Sápmi, but divided into four national states, Finland, Norway, Russia and Sweden. The indigenous rights therefore differ in each country. Finlands Sami policy may be described as accommodative. The accommodative Sami policy has had two consequences. Firstly, it has made Sami collective issues non-political and has thus change focus from previously political mobilization to present substate administration. Secondly, the depoliticization of the Finnish Sami probably can explain the absent of overt territorial conflicts. However, this has slightly changes due the discussions on implementation of the ILO Convention No 169. Swedish Sami politics can be described by quarrel and distrust. Recently the implementation of ILO Convention No 169 has changed this description slightly and now there is a clear legal demand to consult the Sami in land use issues that may affect the Sami. The Reindeer herding is an important indigenous symbol and business for the Sami especially for the Swedish Sami. Here is the reindeer herding organized in a so called Sameby, which is an economic organisations responsible for the reindeer herding. Only Sami that have parents or grandparents who was a member of a Sameby may become members.

  • The Ethnic Identity of the Sami People
    Bachelor thesis The ethnic identity of the Sami people A study about the perception of Samis’ ethnic identity Author: Ludvig Malmquist Supervisor: Lennart Wohlgemuth Examiner: Manuela Nilsson Term: HT20 Subject: Peace and development studies Level: Bachelor Course code: 2FU33E Abstract The purpose of this thesis is to analyze perceptions about the Sami ethnic identity. In order to analyze the topic, this thesis is using a qualitative method. It seeks to answer the research questions “how do the Sami perceive they can live and express their ethnic identity?” and “how are the Sami people´s ethnic identity being portrayed by others”?. The conclusions were reached through studying language and to be more specific, a discourse analysis using various academic papers and from newspaper articles. The analysis is based on a broad analytical framework which consists of stigma by Goffman, Ethnicity by Olsson, Ålund and Johansson and ethnic identity three stage model development by Phinney. These theories and concepts were chosen since they are the most suitable theories in order to analyze the objective. The findings were broken down into four different topics, the topics are “reindeer herding”, “relationship with each other and other indigenous groups”, “climate change” and “Sami identity”. The results suggest that Sami people are proud of their identity and that they can express their identity, even though there are perceptions about that they live in a colonial system. The results also suggest that non-Sami people very often perceive the Sami ethnicity in a negative way. The results correspond to stigma and ethnicity and mostly regarding ethnic identity development.

  • Archaeology and the Debate on the Transition from Reindeer Hunting to Pastoralism Ingrid Sommerseth Dept
    NOR’s 16th Nordic Conference on Reindeer and Reindeer Husbandry Research Tromsø, Norway, 16th-18th November 2010 Archaeology and the debate on the transition from reindeer hunting to pastoralism Ingrid Sommerseth Dept. of Archaeology and Social Anthropology, Faculty of Humanities, Social Sciences and Education, University of Tromsø, N-9037 Tromsø, Norway ([email protected]). Abstract: The distinctive Sami historical land use concerning reindeer management and settlement of inner Troms, North Norway, is reflected in places with archaeological remains. The insight and knowledge connected with these places can be accessed through oral traditions and place-names where reindeer management is embedded in reindeer knowledge developed over long time spans. Previous distinctions between wild reindeer hunting and pastoral herding can be redefined, since much of the traditional knowledge concerning the wild reindeer (goddi) may have been trans- ferred to the domesticated animals (boazu). The transition from reindeer hunting to pastoralism is a current research focus and archaeological results from inner Troms indicate that several Sami dwellings with árran (hearths) are related to a transitional period from AD 1300 to 1400. This period is marked by a reorganisation of the inland Sami siida (col- lective communities), and changes in landscape use wherein seasonal cycles and grazing access began to determine the movements of people and their domestic reindeer herds. This reorganisation was a response to both external political relations and the inner dynamic of the Sami communities. The first use of tamed reindeer was as decoys and draft animals in the hunting economy, only later becoming the mainstay of household food supply in reindeer pastoralism, providing insurance for future uncertainties.

  • Ethics in Indigenous Research
    SAMI DUTKAN. SAMISKA STUDIER. SAMI STUDIES. SAMI STUDIER. SAMISKA DUTKAN. SAMI SAMI DUTKAN. SAMISKA STUDIER. SAMI STUDIES. Vaartoe – Centre for Sami Research Umeå University Ethics in research related to Indigenous peoples has, over recent decades, been increasingly discussed in a global context. Decolo- nizing theories and methods have gained legitimacy and prestige, and Indigenous scholarship has challenged mainstream research by adding novel perspectives and critical standpoints that encourage researchers of all origins to reflect upon their own positions within Anna-Lill Drugge (ed.) the colonial academic and social structures in which they work. This development has taken different directions and occurred at diffe- rent speeds depending on local, regional and national settings. In a Ethics in Indigenous Research Swedish Sami research context, we are now in a time when it is clear that things are moving and discussions on research ethics are taking Past Experiences - Future Challenges place on a more regular basis. This publication is one example of that. In Sweden, it is the first one in English that addresses ethics in Sami and Indigenous research and this will, hopefully, facilitate collabora- Anna-Lill Drugge (ed.) tions, comparisons and discussions on an international scale. The book is based on some of the contributions to the international workshop Ethics in Indigenous Research, Past Experiences – Future Challenges that was held in Umeå in March 2014. The workshop gathered together around fifty scholars from different parts of Sápmi and abroad, and aimed to move forward Indigenous research ethics in Sweden by highlighting and addressing research ethics related to the Sami and Indigenous research field.

    United Nations A/HRC/18/35/Add.2 General Assembly Distr.: General 6 June 2011 Original: English Human Rights Council Eighteenth session Agenda item 3 Promotion and protection of all human rights, civil, political, economic, social and cultural rights, including the right to development Report of the Special Rapporteur on the rights of indigenous peoples, James Anaya Addendum The situation of the Sami people in the Sápmi region of Norway, Sweden and Finland∗ Summary The present report, which was originally made public in an advanced unedited version on 12 January 2011, examines the human rights situation of the Sami people of Norway, Sweden and Finland. It is based in large part on information presented to the Special Rapporteur during a conference in Rovaniemi, Finland, from 14 to 16 April 2010 organized by the Sami Parliamentary Council. The conference gathered representatives of the Sami parliaments of Norway, Sweden and Finland, Government officials from each of these countries, and representatives of Sami non-governmental organizations. The Special Rapporteur is pleased that, overall, Norway, Sweden, and Finland each pay a high level of attention to indigenous issues, relative to other countries. In many respects, initiatives related to the Sami people in the Nordic countries set important examples for securing the rights of indigenous peoples. Among these initiatives is the cross-border effort to develop a Nordic Sami Convention. The Special Rapporteur notes the important work already achieved toward this end, and he welcomes the commitment on the part of the Nordic States and the Sami parliaments to recommence negotiations in 2011 toward adoption of the Convention.

Can Traditional Knowledge Be a Resource to Tackle Reindeer Diseases Associated with Climate Change? Jan Åge Riseth 1,* , Hans Tømmervik 2 and Morten Tryland 3 1 Department of Social Sciences, NORCE, Rombaksvegen E6 47, N-8517 Narvik, Norway 2 Norwegian Institute for Nature Research–NINA, FRAM—High North Research Centre for Climate and the Environment, P.O. Box 6606 Langnes, N-9296 Tromsø, Norway; [email protected] 3 Department of Arctic and Marine Biology, UiT The Arctic University of Norway, Framstredet 39, N-9037 Tromsø, Norway; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 9 June 2020; Accepted: 14 August 2020; Published: 18 August 2020 Abstract: This paper inquires whether reindeer herders’ traditional knowledge (TK) provides a reservoir of precaution and adaptation possibilities that may be relevant to counteract climate change. As our core example, we used the milking of reindeer—which, in some areas, was practiced up until the 1950s–1960s—and the risk of getting foot rot disease (digital necrobacillosis; slubbo in North Sámi), caused by the bacterium Fusobacterium necrophorum. Via wounds or scratches, the bacterium creates an infection that makes the infected limb swell and, eventually, necrotize. The disease is often mortal in its final stage. Historically, female reindeer were gathered on unfenced milking meadows near herder tents or in small corrals, from early summer onward. When the soil was wet and muddy, the risk of developing digital necrobacillosis was considerable. Our sources included classical Sámi author/herder narratives, ethnographic and veterinary literature, and herder interviews.

One of the important objectives of the project has been to listen to and take into account what Sami people expect from the work on documentation and protection of their traditional know ledge. Special gratitude is owed to communities and individuals in the Norwegian, Swedish and Finnish parts of Sápmi, who eagerly participated in community meetings and other project activities.
