  • Debate Concerning the Early Transport Infrastructure in the Sámi Area of Finnish Lapland
    DEBATE CONCERNING THE EARLY TRANSPORT INFRASTRUCTURE IN TEH SÁMI AREA OF FINNISH LAPLAND RITVA KYLLI AND JUHA SAUNAVAARA | Pages 85– 105 85 Debate concerning the early transport infrastructure in the Sámi area of Finnish Lapland RITVA KYLLI, University lecturer, History, Culture and Communication Studies, Faculty of Humanities, University of Oulu, Finland Corresponding author: email: [email protected] JUHA SAUNAVAARA, Assistant Professor, Arctic Research Center, Hokkaido University, Japan, ABSTRACT Tis article examines early Arctic transport infrastructure, especially roads, in the Sámi area of Finnish Lapland during the interwar period. Te modernisation process accelerated the utilisation of northern natural resources, and the frst roads in northernmost Finland also facilitated mining industry and logging sites. In the research concentrating on infrastructure, indigenous peoples have ofen been depic- ted one-dimensionally as victims and forces resisting development. While this study introduces the views of various stakeholders, it also emphasises the importance of understanding indigenous peoples as active agents, some of whom actively lobbied for plans to build roads. While the Sámi resistance to roads referred to, for example, their ability to damage and erode the traditional way of Sámi community life, the supporters underlined the economic possibilities and other benefts to be gained from the improved connectivity. Even though the vocabulary of the 1920s and 1930s difers from today’s language use, many of the ideas which have been discussed more recently – such as remoteness as a potential asset and the value of being disconnected – were already present in the debates of the beginning of the twentieth century.

  • Sámi Histories, Colonialism, and Finland
    Sámi Histories, Colonialism, and Finland Veli-Pekka Lehtola Abstract. Public apologies, compensations, and repatriation policies have been forms of rec- onciliation processes by authorities in Nordic countries to recognize and take responsibility of possible injustices in Sámi histories. Support for reconciliation politics has not been unanimous, however. Some Finnish historians have been ready to reject totally the subjugation or colonial- ism towards the Sámi in the history of Finnish Lapland. The article analyzes the contexts for the reasoning and studies the special nature of Sámi- Finnish relations. More profound interpre- tations are encouraged to be done, examining colonial processes and structures to clarify what kind of social, linguistic, and cultural effects the asymmetrical power relations have had. Introduction careful historical study was carried out to investi- gate the history of injustice (Minde 2003), which “Colonialism may be dead, yet it is everywhere to was followed by the apology by the state for “those be seen.” gross injustices” that the minorities of the country (Dirks 2010:93) had suffered.

  • Nye Fylkes- Og Kommunenummer - Trøndelag Fylke Stortinget Vedtok 8
    Ifølge liste Deres ref Vår ref Dato 15/782-50 30.09.2016 Nye fylkes- og kommunenummer - Trøndelag fylke Stortinget vedtok 8. juni 2016 sammenslåing av Nord-Trøndelag fylke og Sør-Trøndelag fylke til Trøndelag fylke fra 1. januar 2018. Vedtaket ble fattet ved behandling av Prop. 130 LS (2015-2016) om sammenslåing av Nord-Trøndelag og Sør-Trøndelag fylker til Trøndelag fylke og endring i lov om forandring av rikets inddelingsnavn, jf. Innst. 360 S (2015-2016). Sammenslåing av fylker gjør det nødvendig å endre kommunenummer i det nye fylket, da de to første sifrene i et kommunenummer viser til fylke. Statistisk sentralbyrå (SSB) har foreslått nytt fylkesnummer for Trøndelag og nye kommunenummer for kommunene i Trøndelag som følge av fylkessammenslåingen. SSB ble bedt om å legge opp til en trygg og fremtidsrettet organisering av fylkesnummer og kommunenummer, samt å se hen til det pågående arbeidet med å legge til rette for om lag ti regioner. I dag ble det i statsråd fastsatt forskrift om nærmere regler ved sammenslåing av Nord- Trøndelag fylke og Sør-Trøndelag fylke til Trøndelag fylke. Kommunal- og moderniseringsdepartementet fastsetter samtidig at Trøndelag fylke får fylkesnummer 50. Det er tidligere vedtatt sammenslåing av Rissa og Leksvik kommuner til Indre Fosen fra 1. januar 2018. Departementet fastsetter i tråd med forslag fra SSB at Indre Fosen får kommunenummer 5054.

  • Two Hearth- Row Sites in Pasvik, Arctic Norway
    Brodtkorbneset and Steintjørna: Two Hearth- Row Sites in Pasvik, Arctic Norway Bjørnar J. Olsen Bjørnar J. Olsen, Department of Archaeology, History, Religious Studies and Theology, University of Tromsø – The Arctic University of Norway, P.O. box 6050 Langnes, 9037 Tromsø: [email protected] Abstract During the Viking Age and the early medieval period, hearth-row sites became a distinct feature of Sámi settlements over the vast interior region of Northern Fennoscandia. Consist- ing of large, rectangular hearths organized in a linear pattern, these sites represent a new way of organizing domestic space and also reflect new environmental preferences. In this paper, the author gives an overview of the investigations conducted at two hearth-row sites, Steintjørna and Brodtkorbneset, in Pasvik, Arctic Norway. Based on the excavated material, the author discusses changes in settlement pattern, reindeer economies, and the organiza- tion of domestic space. He also discusses the role that the hearths themselves may have played in negotiating internal social dynamics and in inter-ethnic contacts of the Late Viking Age and the early medieval period. 1 Introduction in the south-western part of the Kola Penin- sula (Muraskin & Kolpakov, this volume).

  • Intensjonsavtale Om Sammenslåing Mellom Verran Og Steinkjer Kommuner
    Intensjonsavtale om sammenslåing mellom Verran og Steinkjer kommuner Bakgrunn for intensjonsavtalen Stortinget har invitert den enkelte kommune til å starte prosesser for å avklare om det er aktuelt å slå seg sammen med nabokommuner og melde sitt standpunkt til Fylkesmannen innen 1. juli 2016. Dette dokumentet er det formelle resultatet fra samtaler mellom Snåsa, Verran og Steinkjer kommuner. Det ble fremforhandlet avtale mellom de tre kommunene i perioden februar til mars 2016 som ble behandlet i kommunestyrene i april 2016. Avtalen ble lagt fram for innbyggerne i rådgivende folkeavstemning 23. mai 2016. Et flertall av innbyggerne i Verran og Steinkjer sa ja til kommunesammenslåing, mens et flertall av innbyggerne i Snåsa sa nei. Med utgangspunkt i følgende formulering i den opprinnelige avtalen er avtaleteksten justert og tilpasset en sammenslåing av Verran og Steinkjer kommuner: "Hvis avtalen ikke godkjennes av en av kommunene, kan de to andre kommunene gå inn i intensjonsavtalen. De overordnede prinsippene fastholdes og videreføres." Prinsipper som legges til grunn i arbeidet med kommunesammenslåingen Kommunene som deltar er ulike, men likeverdige. En ny kommune skal etableres, drives og videreutvikles med utgangspunkt i Verran og Steinkjer kommuners fortrinn og utfordringer, samt ekstern samfunnsutvikling. Arbeidet skal preges av gjensidig respekt og raushet. Ingen ansatte skal miste jobben som en følge av sammenslåingen. Kommunal drift skal hovedsakelig skje under direkte folkevalgt styring og kontroll. Innledning Denne avtalen er grunnlaget for å opprette én ny kommune fra 1. januar 2020 ved at kommunene Verran og Steinkjer slår seg sammen. Kommunens navn skal være Steinkjer kommune og kommunesenteret er Steinkjer sentrum. Avtalen beskriver hva man vil oppnå med den nye kommunen, og hvordan den skal organiseres, drives og utvikles.
