The meeting brought together 31 participants from across the Arctic, including Indigenous and non-Indigenous researchers, students, and health professionals. The aim was to enhance collaboration among circumpolar health networks and to develop a mentorship program supporting young scholars.

Asthma among Sámi in Sweden
A population-based study has reported a higher prevalence of self-reported asthma among the Sámi compared with the general Swedish population. However, it remains unclear whether this reflects a true difference or reporting bias. This study aimed to estimate asthma incidence among the Sámi and compare it with that of the non-Sámi population using register-based data from 1993 to 2018. We conducted a retrospective cohort study using the Sámi elect…
Indigenous research sovereignty within academia
Indigenous Peoples' inherent right to self-determination includes authority over research, yet university systems centralize control in ways that constrain Indigenous sovereignty. This article examines how academic institutional structures and processes-well beyond the actions of individual researchers-shape the possibilities and limitations of Indigenous-focused research within universities. Drawing on a collaborative, story-based process involv…
Inequities in refraining from seeking health care among Sámi in Sweden
This study assessed the prevalence, reasons, and factors associated with refraining from seeking needed health care among the Sámi population in Sweden. Using data from a 2021 health survey, 3,658 individuals participated. Descriptive and regression analyses were applied to summarize the data and determine the magnitude of associations between independent variables and refraining from health care. Results showed 19.9% of participants refrained fr…
Student experiences and perspectives on decolonising global health education
BACKGROUND: Decolonisation has become a global health priority, addressing inequities rooted in colonial histories that continue to shape power dynamics and knowledge systems. Nordic global health programmes bring together students and faculty from diverse backgrounds in a region defined by inclusive ideals but shaped by underexamined colonial legacies. This context offers a valuable setting to examine how decolonial perspectives are integrated o…
Refraining from seeking dental care among the Sámi in Sweden
Approximately one in six of the Sámi participating in this study refrained from seeking dental care despite self-reported need in the last three months. Those who experienced economic difficulties were the most affected group. To achieve equity in dental health care in Sweden, policies removing economic barriers to access dental health care should be implemented
Embodiment of discrimination
BACKGROUND: Ethnic discrimination is acknowledged as a social determinant of health for Indigenous populations worldwide. This study aimed to investigate embodiment of perceived ethnic discrimination among the Sámi population in Sweden. METHODS: A population-based health study was conducted among the Sámi population aged 18-84 years in 2021. Perceived discrimination was assessed by three variables: exposure to threat, humiliation treatment and et…
Utsatthet för sexuellt våld bland samiska kvinnor i Sverige
Frågan om sexuellt våld har under de senaste åren fått ett allt större utrymme i Sápmi. I denna artikel, som baseras på den populationsbaserade studien «Samisk hälsa på lika villkor» (Samisk HLV) 2021, undersöks utsatthet för sexuellt våld bland samiska kvinnor och män i Sverige jämfört med kvinnor och män i Sveriges befolkning. Analysen visar att sexuellt våld mot kvinnor utgör ett mycket omfattande samhällsproblem i det samiska samhället, i min…
Indigenous Engagement in Health Research in Circumpolar Countries
In this paper, we review existing ethical guidelines that support Circumpolar Indigenous Peoples’ engagement in health research. For this study, we collated national and regional ethical guidelines addressing health research engaging with Indigenous communities. Our study found that ethical guidelines addressing Indigenous engagement in health research have emerged in Canada and the U.S.A. Currently, there are no Indigenous-specific provisions in…
From Resilient to Thriving
In 2018 – 19, eight Indigenous and non-Indigenous individuals from Canada, Greenland/Denmark, Sweden, and Alaska/United States came together to address research questions relevant to Arctic nations’ shared challenges and opportunities. Our work incorporated critical, community-based perspectives on Arctic health and well-being and promoted strengths-based approaches developed in partnership with Arctic communities. In this article we describe the…
Historical foundations and contemporary expressions of a right to health care in Circumpolar Indigenous contexts
Although numerous comparative Indigenous health policy analyses exist in the literature, to date, little attention has been paid to comparative analyses of Circumpolar health policy and the impact these policies may have on Indigenous peoples’ rights to health. In this article, we ground our discussion of Indigenous peoples’ right to access culturally appropriate and responsive health care within the context of the United Nations Declaration on t…
Where are the people? A scoping review on the use of the term “resilience” in Arctic health research and its relevance to community expressions of well-being
In the field of Arctic health, “resilience” is a concept used to describe the capacity to recover from adversities. The term is widely used in Arctic policy contexts; however, Arctic peoples and communities question whether “resilience” is an appropriate term to describe the human dimensions of health and well-being in the Arctic as it is currently applied. A scoping review of peer-reviewed and gray literature was conducted. We used searchable da…
Mapping suicide prevention initiatives targeting Indigenous Sámi in Nordic countries”
We argue that the dominant rationales for suicide prevention were addressing shortcomings on individual and relational levels, and raising awareness in the general public. This threatens obscuring other, critical, approaches, such as broadening perspectives in prevention planning, improving health systems for Sámi, and promoting cultural empowerment among Sámi. Nevertheless, the study confirms considerable efforts have been invested into suicide …
Exploring the Term “Resilience” in Arctic Health and Well-Being Using a Sharing Circle as a Community-Centered Approach
In the field of Arctic health, “resilience” is a term and concept used to describe capacity to recover from difficulties. While the term is widely used in Arctic policy contexts, there is debate at the community level on whether “resilience” is an appropriate term to describe the human dimensions of health and wellness in the Arctic. Further, research methods used to investigate resilience have largely been limited to Western science research met…
