In this vast part of Swedish Lapland there are just over five Welcome thousand people in an area as big as half of Switzerland. Here you’ll find large forests, marshes and an unparalleled mountain region. Sarek might be the most mythical of the to Jokkmokk four national parks, but Padjelanta, Stora Sjöfallet and Mud- dus are equally as loved. Every park has its natural treasures. WE HAVE A PLACE FOR EVERYONE Sámi culture with its ancient – and modern – traditions is strongly anchored here. The Arctic summer is short but intense. Cranes and geese arrive with the light, together with swans and curlews. They don’t mind if there’s still snow left on the ground. The won- derfully hectic summer is as dizzying every year. The noise in the forest is almost deafening. Everything grows quickly, meltwater thunders over rapids and children jump around cheering happily, with or without wellies. Everyone is in a hurry to get everything done. Fish for trout. Take a hike in the mountains. Pick cloudberries. Brand reindeer calves, parties, events and birdwatching – the list goes on. And in the midst of all this: the light summer nights – a solace for the soul. The continental climate gives us heat waves from the east with temperatures of up to 25-30 degrees, but also icy winds and rain sweeping in from the north-west. The contrasts are part of the adventure. Get close to all these contrasts: between forest and bare mountain, urban life and wilderness, high-tech and inheri- ted knowledge, between the domesticated and the wild. In Jokkmokk you can still feel like an explorer and expe- rience things others never get a chance to try. Just remember to plan your trip a little bit more than if you were going somewhere populous and touristy. Book the things you really want to experience in advance. What you’ll probably remember most are the people Richardson Graeme Photo: you’ll met. All the conversations where your shared expe- riences will create new insights. Perhaps your meeting with Jokkmokk might change the way you view the world a little. Who knows what life has in store.

    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.

    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.

    Networks and Alliances

    THE CONTEMPORARY ART DAYS SUMMIT 2018 NETWORKS AND ALLIANCES samtidskonstdagarna.se/en 14–16 November 2018 Boden/Luleå 13 November Pre-summit visit to Kiruna The Contemporary Art Days is the annual contemporary art summit that brings together art professionals from across Sweden and other countries to discuss current issues for art organisations. In 2018, for the first time, the summit is organised under the aegis of the Public Art Agency Sweden. This year’s summit will focus on building networks and alliances as strate- gies for action in contemporary art organisations today. The last few years have witnessed a large increase in organisational networks across the art field in Sweden. Whether formal or informal, on a local or national scale, with Nordic or international counterparts, alliances are formed in a variety of constellations between art institutions, self-organised initiatives and other organisations. Are these networks signs of the signature strategy of the neoliberal working world? Or are they responses of mutual support and solidarity by small and mid-size art organisations in the changing political landscape and precarious economic conditions? Or are today’s networks merely new forms of age old tools for building assemblies around mutual concerns? The Contemporary Art Days 2018 presents a diverse programme comprising guest speakers, performances, site visits and workshops that will examine a variety of ways of working with networks and building strategic alliances. The summit is held in the region of Norrbotten in the north of Sweden. A preview of the 2018 Luleå Biennial is included in the programme, as well as a pre-summit site visit to Kiruna, a mining town that is being relocated and rebuilt.

    Annual Report

    Division of Quality & Environmental Management ANNUAL REPORT 2005-2007 1 Background and Overview In January 1, 2003 the Division of Quality & Environmental Management (Avdelningen för kvalitets- & miljöledning) was created through a merger between the Quality Technology group and the Environmental Management group. The establishment of the division, the very first one of this kind in Sweden, was supported both from industry and the public sector in Sweden. Large efforts were spent on a successful merger, partly with financial support from the Development Council Government Sector (Utvecklingsrådet för den statliga sektorn). For instance, efforts have been put on our values and the culture; see Figure 2. In February 2006 the Division of Quality & Environmental Management was merged with several other divisions into a unit named Division of Business Administration and Manage- ment (Avdelningen för företagsekonomi & verksamhetsutveckling). Figure 1 Parts of the staff of our division at Kukkolaforsen, June 16, 2006. Photo: Rickard Garvare. Our four main processes illustrate central activities at Quality & Environmental Management: Undergraduate and Graduate Education, Postgraduate Education, Research, and Links to Society; see Figure 3. Activities are often performed in a close co-operation with business companies, public organizations and other parts of our society and we are convinced that collaboration is of benefit for all parties. This is also emphasized in our vision, which states that “we shall be internationally acknowledged for, to
