    Tracing of old settlements and place names in a Sea Sámi region1 Marit B. Henriksen Sámi University College, Norway [email protected] Introduction The basis for this article is my work with an old land surveying document from Finnmark, in the north of Norway. The document is named Finnmarken Sorenskriveri Landmaalerprotokol, which in English would be The Landsurveying protocol of the County of Finnmark. The main objective for this presentation is to introduce some preliminary results of my work with the protocol and I will present parts of the process, as well as maps, figures and photos showing how the process turns out. About the region Finnmark is the northernmost county of Norway. Finnmark was the last area that became part of the Norwegian territory. The border between the Norwegian and Swedish area was drawn in 1751 and the border between the Norwegian and Russian area was drawn in 1826. Before the closing of the borders, several nation states were interested in this area, that is for taxation purposes. Because of this, the (mainly Sámi) population of the area had to pay taxes to at least three different nation states in periods (Denmark/Norway, Sweden and Russia). Norway was a dependency (satellite state) of Denmark from 1537 to 1814. From 1814, Norway was in union with Sweden, until Norway was declared an independent nation state in 1905. About the Sámi people and the Sámi languages The Sámi area covers parts of four different nation states, Norway, Sweden, Finland and Russia. There are ten different Sámi languages: South Sámi, Ume Sámi, Pite Sámi, Lule Sámi, North Sámi, Inari Sámi, Skolt Sámi, Akkala Sámi, Kildin Sámi and Ter Sámi.

  • Our. Knowledge of the Geology of the Alta District of West Finnmark Owes Much to the Work of Holtedahl (1918, 1960) and Føyn (1964)
    Correlation of Autochthonous Stratigraphical Sequences in the Alta-Repparfjord Region, West Finnmark DAVID ROBERTS & EIGILL FARETH Roberts, D. & Fareth, E.: Correlation of autochthonous stratigraphical se­ quences in the Alta-Repparfjord region, west Finnmark. Norsk Geologisk Tidsskrift, Vol. 54, pp. 123-129. Oslo 1974. An outline of the geology of the area between Alta and the Komagfjord tectonic window is presented. Lithologies (including a tillite) constituting an autochthonous sequence are described from an area on the north-east side of Altafjord, and from their similarity to those of formations occurring in adjacent areas a revised regional stratigraphical correlation is proposed. An occurrence of biogenic structures appears to provide confirmatory evidence for an earlier suggested correlation with Late Precambrian sequences be­ tween west and east Finnmark. D. Roberts & E. Fareth, Norges Geologiske Undersøkelse, Postboks 3006, 7001 Trondheim, Norway. Regional setting; previous correlations Our. knowledge of the geology of the Alta district of west Finnmark owes much to the work of Holtedahl (1918, 1960) and Føyn (1964). The oldest rocks, the Raipas Group or Series (Reitan 1963a) of Precambrian (Karelian) age, are represented by a sequence of greenschist facies metasediments, metavolcanics and intrusives. Lying unconformably upon the Raipas is a quartzite formation, a thin tillite, and a mixed shale and sandstone succession. Holtedahl (1918) re­ ferred to these autochthonous post-Raipas rocks as the 'Bossekopavdelingen', but Føyn (1964) later demonstrated the presence of an angular uncon­ formity beneath the tillite and adopted this break as the border between what he termed the Bossekop Group and the overlying sediments, the Borras Group. These were later referred to as sub-groups (Føyn 1967, Pl.

  • Komsa Dokumentasjonsvedlegg
    DOKUMENTASJONSVEDLEGG § 19 FREDNING, KOMSA, ALTA, FINNMARK Reidun Laura Andreassen 1 1. Kvartærgeologi i Indre Altafjord Etter siste istid, for ca 10 000 år siden lå isfronten innerst i fjordene i Finnmark. Vekten av isen presset landet ned, men da avsmeltningen begynte og breens vekt minket, hevet landet seg igjen. Den enorme mengden smeltevann førte imidlertid til at havet steg, og i enkelte perioder var landhevningen og havstigningen like stor. Trykket av isen var imidlertid størst lengst inn mot bresenteret, i det indre av den Skandinaviske halvøya, og avtok gradvis ut mot kysten hvor breen var tynnest. Derfor hevet landet seg mer i de indre fjordstrøk enn ute ved kysten. Den marine grense i det indre av Altafjorden ligger på ca. 75m over dagens havnivå hvor havet stod for ca 10 000 år siden. Havet stod i flere perioder og vasket innover land, noe som førte til dannelsen av markerte strandterrasser som viser hvor havet en gang har stått. Oppover hele Altadalen ser vi merker etter havnivåene til enhver tid. Det er en generell arkeologisk oppfatning at bosetningen er knyttet til stranden, og at en derfor kan relatere boplasser til kronologi ut fra hvor høyt over havet de ligger. Kartene nedfor viser hvordan landskapet i indre Altafjord har endret seg gjennom tid i forhold til endring av havnivået. Som en ser av kartene var Komsa ei øy som gradvis ble landfast fra isens avsmeltning for ca. 10 000 år siden og helt fram til for ca 5-6000 år siden. 9 000 år siden 5500 år siden dagens havnivå 70 m.o.h 25 m.o.h Figur 1 Kartframstilling av havnivå fra forskjellige perioder.

  • Getting Food During the German Occupation of Western Finnmark (1940–1944)
    Getting food during the German occupation of Western Finnmark (1940–1944) Yaroslav Bogomolov In this article the author describes the food supply in the western part of Finnmark County. Despite the fact that the authorities tried to control the food supplies and secure equal access to food for all inhabitants, food distribution was never equal and civilians had to work hard and use their imagination in order to get some food to eat. 1 Introduction Nutrition as a topic was absent in historical studies for a long time. Food as a part of our daily routine is an almost invisible thing for historians. The changes have started to happen about two decades ago. As Clarkson and Crawford write “...nutritional history is moving out of the cellar”1. Today quite a lot of books have been published about human nutrition during various historical periods, but this work is still far from being finished. Aside from historical reports on Norwegians’ diet during the war2, nutrition on its own was very seldom a subject of interest for Norwegian authors3. This seems to me to be a bit strange. As we can see in articles by Mølmann et al. (2015) and Khatanzeiskaya (2015), insufficient nutrition was a cause of various health problems, so it is very important to study nutrition during the times of crisis. The topic of nutrition seems to me to be very comprehensive. It includes people’s daily diet, cuisine, ways of getting food, scientific approach to food (what kind of food is supposed to be healthy and how much of it is needed for each individual and so on) and much more.

Edited by { SERGIJ VILFAN in collaboration with 1 GUDMUND SANDVIK and LODE WILS 1. f' 1 ~... ,' Non-existent Sami Language Rights in Norway, 1850--1940 GUDMUND SANDVIK European Science Foundation NEW YORK UNIVERSITY PRESS DARTMOUTH 128 .., 13 Non-existent Sami Language Rights in Norway, 1850-1940 GUDMUND SANDVIK Background The Samis are an ethnic minority in the Nordic countries and in Russia. According to more or less reliable censuses, they number today about 40 000 in Norway (1 per cent of the total population), 20000 in Sweden (0.25 per cent), 4500 in Finland (0.1 per cent) and 2000 on the Kola peninsula in Russia. Only Finland has had a regular ethnic census. The Samis call themselves sapmi or sabmi. It is only recently (after 1950) that this name has been generally accepted in the Nordic countries (singular same, plural samer). Tacitus wrote about fenni;1 Old English had finnas;2 Historia NorvegitE (History of Norway) written about P80 had finni,3 and the Norse word was {imzar. 4 In medieval Icelandic and Norwegian literature, Finnmork was the region in northern Scandinavia where the Samis lived. The northern­ most Norwegian fylke (county) of today, Finnmark, takes jts name from the huge medieval Finnmork. But Samis of today still use the name S4pnzi for the entire region where they live (See Map 13.1, ;].. which "shows S4pmiwith state frontiers and some Sami centres). 'Finner' is accordingly an authentic Norwegian name.
