  • A Bering Strait Indigenous Framework for Resource Management

    M Spangen, A-K Salmi et al.ARTICLEArctic Anthropology2015Cited by: 2

    Western resource management is often contentious in northern indigenous communities, as it is can be poorly matched with local resource-use traditions. Expert seal and walrus hunters in the Bering Strait region of Alaska requested that Kawerak, Inc., a local tribal consortium, document seal and walrus hunting through the lens of the locally preferred framework of respect. We conducted semistructured interviews and focus groups with 84 expert elde…

  • Surreptitious Sami--Suppressive Swedes

    M Spangen, A-K Salmi et al.ARTICLEArctic Anthropology2015

    Stone circles and various other features belonging to the different branches of the Sámi cultures in both northern Norway and Sweden have long since been known and discussed by scholars. That similar archaeological features are to be found in the county of Västernorrland, an area customarily considered to lie outside that which is traditionally associated with the Sámi in Sweden, is compelling and requires a reassessment of previous held notions …

  • Mining Sapmi

    M Spangen, A-K Salmi et al.ARTICLEArctic Anthropology2015Cited by: 34References: 8

    In recent years, there has been a large-scale boom in mining in the present-day Swedish part of Sápmi, leading to protests from Sámi activists as well as environmentalist groups. To the protesters, issues of Swedish colonialism and Sámi indigeneity are central, and history becomes important. Taking its starting point in the mining conflicts, this article discusses Sámi archaeology and claims for Sámi indigenous land and cultural rights. We argue …

  • Early Cereal Cultivation at Sami Settlements

    M Spangen, A-K Salmi et al.ARTICLEArctic Anthropology2015Cited by: 4

    It has been generally accepted that cultivation in northernmost Sweden was intrinsically associated with the migration of Nordic farmers into the area and that indigenous Sámi societies followed purely hunter-gatherer or pastoralist subsistence strategies. In this paper, it is argued that the discursive connotations of cultivation have promoted a dichotomy between Sámi and Swedish idioms that are still being reproduced among scholars, as well the…

  • Sami Histories, Colonialism, and Finland

    M Spangen, A-K Salmi et al.ARTICLEArctic Anthropology2015Cited by: 19

    Public apologies, compensations, and repatriation policies have been forms of reconciliation processes by authorities in Nordic countries to recognize and take responsibility of possible injustices in Sámi histories. Support for reconciliation politics has not been unanimous, however. Some Finnish historians have been ready to reject totally the subjugation or colonialism towards the Sámi in the history of Finnish Lapland. The article analyzes th…

  • Sami Archaeology and Postcolonial Theory--An Introduction

    M Spangen, Anna‐kaisa Salmi et al.ARTICLEArctic Anthropology2015Cited by: 7References: 2

    While researchers within Sámi archaeology have dealt with issues closely related to postcolonial theory and critique since the 1970s onwards, this has rarely been done with explicit mention or coherent use of this theoretical complex. This somewhat paradoxical situation was addressed in a session at the 14th conference of the Nordic Theoretical Archaeology Group at Stockholm University in April 2014, an initiative that eventually resulted in the …

  • Towards a Multiangled Study of Reindeer Agency, Overlapping Environments, and Human-Animal Relationships

    J Nyyssonen, A-K Salmi et al.ARTICLEArctic Anthropology2013Cited by: 2

    This paper discusses the applicability of theories about animal agency to studies of human–animal relationships in the academic disciplines of environmental history and archaeology. Both disciplines have a traditional epistemological stance that neglects the perceptual worlds of the animal. One example is presented of efforts to write from the other side of the epistemological chasm, on the environment of the animal , as well as Morten Tønnessen’…
