Economic Specialization and Ethnic Consolidation: Northern Hunting Societies in the Iron Age and Early Middle Ages
In this chapter, the author looks closer at development in the Sami areas through the Iron Age and the Early Middle Ages. The author captures some of the regional variation that characterized the hunter-gatherer communities and their relations with surrounding ethnic groups. Before examining the different processes within the Sami area during the Iron Age and the Early Middle Ages, the author also looks at the neighboring societies, mainly the G…
Missionaries and Shamans: Sámi Religion and the Campaign Against it
This chapter first presents some main features of the missionary efforts towards the Sami from the Middle Ages to the eighteenth century. It then analyzes the written sources and the surviving material culture to give an overview of some basic features of pre-Christian Sami religion and cosmology. Already from the end of the High Middle Ages, the population in the boundary zones of the Sami settlement area had been exposed to Christian influence …
Colonization, Contacts and Change, 1200–1550
This chapter focuses on how Sami areas were integrated into economic and political networks that were controlled by powers outside of northern Fennoscandia and seen how Sami society reacted to these new conditions. The rise of reindeer herding is one of the most discussed issues in Sami cultural history. The explanations of the origin of reindeer pastoralism that have traditionally found most favor in Nordic research have stressed external factor…
Introduction
Table of Relations
This chapter presents the table of relations discussed in the book Hunters in Transition. The book provides a new outline of the early history of the Sami and discusses issues such as the formation of Sami ethnicity, interaction with chieftain and state societies, and the transition from hunting to reindeer herding. It provides a new synthesis of Sami history to a broader, English-speaking audience and follows previous work in Norwegian, but the …
Preliminary Material
State Integration and Sámi Rights ca. 1550–1750
The political and economic integration of the Sami regions led to changes in the legal and religious spheres. From early in the seventeenth century, taxation reforms and other state efforts took on greater significance for the Sami's internal systems regarding access to resource bases and the distribution of production surplus. This also led to changes in legal rights. While the Samis' access to resources in their own settlement areas had largely…
Hunters in Transition: An Outline of Early Sámi History
One people – many names: On different designations for the Sami population in the Norwegian county of Nordland through the centuries
During the eighteenth, nineteenth and twentieth centuries, the Sami and the Kvens were classified and categorized in different ways by the Norwegian state authorities in their official censuses. The process whereby various categorization principles were applied was heavily imbued with ideological and political considerations. During the eighteenth century, when main concern was establishing and consolidating the borders of the state, a kind of ge…
Sami Fisheries in the Pre-modern Era: Household Sustenance and Market Relations
This article tries to assess the importance of fisheries within the traditional Sami household economy, where market orientation and participation in commercial fishing activities directed at selling stockfish to external partners formed an integral, strategic factor. After an introductory overview of the traditional fishing methods of the Sami, their most common types of fishing gear and the most preferred species, the article focuses on the sou…

Just K. Qvigstad's contribution to the study of Sami culture
Sammendrag Artikkelen gir en presentasjon og vurdering av innsatsen til Just Knud Qvigstad (1853–1957) på kulturforskningens område. Med filologisk og teologisk embetseksamen (1874, 1881), var Qvigstad knyttet til Tromsø Lærerskole (Seminarium) fra 1878; i perioden 1883–1920 som bestyrer/rektor. Han fungerte som bestyrer for den samiske samlingen ved Tromsø Museum i tidsrommet 1884 ‐1931. Qvigstads publiserte verker daterer seg i første rekke fra…
The ethnic classification in the late 19th‐century censuses: A case‐study from southern Troms, Norway
The topic of this paper is the ethnic classification used in the last three censuses of the 19th century, i.e. the censuses taken in 1875, 1891 and 1900. The aim is to study the content of this classification diachronically, based on new and supplementary evidence from the parish of Astafjord in the southern part of Troms county, northern Norway. This evidence primarily comes from the parish registers from one decade which, unusually, contain rat…

Trade and markets in northern Fenno‐Scandinavia A.D. 1550–1750
Generally, two main opinions have been maintained concerning the age of the markets in northern Fenno‐Scandinavia: One asserting that the markets have their origins well before A.D. 1600, and possibly are dating from the Middle Ages; and the other suggesting that the markets may be constructions of the 18th century. The majority of studies relevant to the question of the markets have, however, been confined within strict geographical limits. Few …
