Sensing, Speaking, Remembering
In Northern Finland, including sparsely populated Finnish Lapland and the small city of Rovaniemi, the widespread clearing of old trees has degraded the boreal environment. Disrupting the diverse relationships between people and trees, climate change will continue to alter the country’s northernmost forests, as is widely known. In this urgent context, we propose that the collaborative project Gifts from the Sentient Forest (GSF) has developed new…
Gifts from the Sentient Forest
Forests face myriad threats globally including in Northern Finland, a relatively remote region celebrated as Europe’s last wilderness. Alongside the increasing imperilment of forests, however, lies a growing body of research indicating how trees respond sensitively to environmental change. The term forest sentience signifies the ability of trees to feel, sense, experience, behave, react, express, and remember. The article presents an analysis of …
Bear and Sun Symbols in the Drum Landscapes of Sámi Artists Peter Armstrand and Elli-Maaret Helander
The construction, decoration, and use of Sámi drums within Sámi culture is examined with reference to the painted drums of two Sámi artists: Peter Armstrand and Elli-Maaret Helander. In their art, bear and sun symbolism, both past and present, are used as resources for constructing Sámi cultural landscapes. The artists’ practices are discussed in relation to their perspectives on identity, memory, and the reuse and transmission of cultural herita…
The Spiritual Significance of Birds in Sámi Tradition
During the 17th century small animals were connected with the Sámi noaidi - religious specialist and artist - with regard to the practice of noaidivuohta (shamanism) and other tasks he performed. Some of these animals were peculiar species of birds that varied in setting making them significant as assistants. Birds as such are illustrated on historical Sámi drums, particularly those from Swedish Sápmi. The value of birds within Sámi tradition mea…
Sacred Sites in the Arctic North and Beyond
The foundation for what is to be presented below has much value as a discourse in today’s academia because of the ways in which the research and study of sacred sites are effected and encountered within a multitude of contexts, including religious studies, anthropology, art, and philosophy of law. These fields are represented in the twelve extended abstracts published hereby, and they outline a variety of subject matters pertaining to sacred site…
Sacred Natural Sites in the Arctic North
The subject matters of better preservation and thus, protection of sacred sites, is a topic that is brought into focus here because of growing concerns regarding mining, land development and expansion of the travel industry in northern Fennoscandia, which has increased the threats sacred sites face because of fires, camping, rock-climbing and leisure activities, among others. The purpose of the planned research is to expand on such threats throug…
Children’s Rock Art. A Scandinavian Study
In terms of teaching materials in children’s mainstream education in Finland and engagement with local prehistoric rock art this is still a subject matter which is fairly minimal regarding the use of art as an educational resource despite links with Finnish and Sami pre-Christian religion and spiritual practices. There are similar issues between the Sámi people in Sweden and Norway and prehistoric rock art and education. This study aims to demons…
The Importance of the Sun Symbol in the Restoration of Sámi Spiritual Traditions and Healing Practice
Today, artefacts of the past have immense value for Sámi shamans, artists, and custodians of culture who are reengaging with their spiritual traditions. A cultural revival is taking place through various applications and approaches. Henceforth, there is an ongoing process of creating a restorative framework mainly based on the work of individuals, through which, drum making and decoration, joiking, sacrificial acts, and forms of divination consis…
The disappearance of the sacred Swedish Sámi drum and the protection of Sámi cultural heritage
One of the last frontiers of the pre-Christian Sámi religion and cosmology from the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries can be found recorded as embedded systems of knowledge on a range of noaidi-shaman drums kept in museums across Europe. Missionaries and clergymen as well as explorers who sought interest in the magical powers of the Sámi noaidi collected these artefacts during witchcraft trials and persecutions throughout Sápmi, the Sámi homel…
Noaidi drums from Sápmi, rock paintings in Finland and Sámi cultural heritage – an investigation
A new, extensive examination of figures with horns and triangular shaped heads in prehistoric rock paintings in Finland reveals remarkable parallels with similar attributes on the Radien and Akka groups of spirits, pictured as male and female powers of the sky, earth and underworld, painted on the heads of indigenous Sámi noaidi drums from Swedish and Norwegian Sápmi during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. What makes this particular stud…
The Sámi Noaidi Grave in Kuusamo and the Significance of the North-South Orientation
The Sámi noaidi in Finland, often referred to as a shaman, has been studied primarily in a historical context and primarily within the framework of events that took place between the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries when the priests in Finland, Sweden, and Norway, during the upheaval caused by colonialism, converted the Sámi to Christianity. Of this time period, a great deal has been written about the noaidi and his drum and the many traditio…
A case for channelling creative industries into a viable industry sub-sector within a diversified economy in Trinidad and Tobago
Trinidad and Tobago has the potential to develop the creative industries into a viable sector since many economic returns derived from this sector. In 2004, the Entertainment Industry in Trinidad and Tobago was estimated to generate TT$351.8 million and employed some 10,854 persons. In 2010, the total contribution of Trinidad and Tobago's carnival sector to the domestic economy was estimated at TT$1.3 billion, of which masqueraders mas players sp…
To all our relations
Research undertaken between 1960 to 1990 into what was once a rock painting tradition in Finland, lacked a clear understanding of parallels between the painted figures found at rock painting locations in the southern and central areas of the country, and the motifs painted on the heads of Sámi shaman divination drums from Lapland. However, due to the discovery and analysis of the content of more rock painting sites in Finland from 1990 up to the …
What influence do the old Sámi Noaidi drums from Lapland play
The suppressed history of the Smi in Lapland contains within it large gaps which span across lost generations of religious specialists called Noaidi. The Noaidi in Smi society was a healer, curer, diviner and ritual master. One of the important instruments associated with the work of the Noaidi is the magical drum referred to as goavddis, which was richly decorated with symbols and structures depicting an indigenous worldview and cosmic order. Th…
The History of Lapland and the Case of the Sami Noaidi Drum Figures Reversed
