Social resilience in practice
National debate and planning for major structural reforms of the Finnish welfare state have been ongoing for years. The most recent government plans include ideas to centralize basic services in major population centres and transfer the responsibility of organization from municipalities to new “health and social services counties”. Such reforms may have considerable consequences for low-income, vulnerable households and their resilience in sparse…
Changes in mountain birch forests and reindeer management
Mountain birch forests in the northern areas of Sápmi, the Saami homeland, serve as pastures for semi-domesticated reindeer. Recent reindeer management of the area has, to date, proceeded with little involvement of reindeer herders or their knowledge. To get more in-depth understanding of recent changes, we present together herders’ knowledge and scientific knowledge concerning the impacts of herbivory and climate change on mountain birch forests…
Past and Present Winter Feeding of Reindeer in Finland
The research examines reindeer feeding practices and herders’ learning of them in three herding co-operatives in Finland: Kuukas in the south, Oraniemi in the central area, and Hammastunturi in the north. In the southern and central co-operatives, from the late 19th century until the Second World War (1939 – 45), trees rich in lichens were cut to provide emergency forage. Harvesting lichens from trees and feeding associated with “tether calving” …
The Road to the North
This article presents a critical examination of Sámi/Finn encounters in Lapland as depicted in poetry and oral tradition during the past decade. Utilizing a background created by feminist discourse this analysis extends the discussion of cultural encounters from a theoretical discussion into the more versatile world experienced by the local people, both Sámi and Finn. I approach the topic from the conceptual construct of anthropology, employing T…
Resonance Strategies of Sámi Reindeer Herders in Northernmost Finland during Climatically Extreme Years
This study focuses on the resonance strategies of Sámi reindeer herders in four reindeer-herding cooperatives in northernmost Finland in climatically extreme years, specifically those occurring during the period 1970–2007. “Resonance” is an instinctive and indwelling reaction of a herder to a specific change (in contrast to coping, which is a more general response). The study is based on interviews with herders, field experiences, reindeer popula…
