My discussion will be brought forward to 1973, when the Nordic Sámi Institute was founded. By then, the Nordic Sámi co-operation reach a new stage, with a far stronger local mobilization. The foundation of the Nordic Sámi Institute is only one of the signs for this change. Before I go on, just a few words of how the Sámi Counc Read More Go to Site

		Sami-State Relations ^Votes:0 Territoriality and State-Sami Relations 1 Scott Forrest University of Northern British Columbia Abstract The Sami are the indigenous people of Fennoscandia. The practice of reindeer herding is central to the Sami way of life, often regarded as the defining feature of Sami culture. The Sami exhibit a very different form of territorial organization (flexible and overlapping) than the modern or 'Western' systems of the European states (fixed and exclusive) which colonized them. Contradictions between these two conceptions of territoriality have been a defining feature of state-Sami relations in the following ways: 1.Nordic states viewed the Sami as nomadic, and thus having no ownership of their land. 2.Reindeer herding was viewed as an illegitimate or backwards form of economic activity, resu Read More Go to Site

		Sweden: The Sami people in Sweden - A part of Randburg ^Votes:0 Randburg.com -> Sweden The Sami people in Sweden Two thousand years ago, the Sami inhabited all of present-day Finland. They also lived in coastal areas around the Gulf of Bothnia and the Atlantic Ocean, all the way from central Norway, north to the White Sea, in what is now Russia. The oldest archaeological discoveries were found along the coast of the Arctic Ocean in northern Norway and are about 10,000 years old. Evidence of later human habitation has been found throughout S?pmi. It is likely that these are the remains of a people who later came to be called Sami. Their society consists of family groups (siida) which live and utilise natural resources together. The families move between summer and winter pasture areas. But they often have one or two homes in the vicinity of these pas Read More Go to Site

		The Saami Hunting Society in Transition ^Votes:0 [<- Contents] The Saami Hunting Society in Transition: Approaches, Concepts and Context by Lars lvar Hansen Printed in: Histor1a Fenno-Ugrica I:1, Published by Societas Historiae Fenno-Ugricae, Oulu 1996. Introduction The aim of this paper is to discuss and evaluate the usefulness, potentials and shortcomings of the main theoretical approaches that have been implemented vis-a-vis the Saami society of early modern times. In particular, I will focus on the question of how to explain the transitional and differentiating processes that the Saami communities are assumed to have undergone during this period. In conventional terms this process may be said to have led from the old, traditional 'hunting society' to new, more differentiated and specialized forms of economy during the 16th, 17th a Read More Go to Site
