Resumo
Robert Paine's article, "Trails of Saami Self-Consciousness," explores the complex relationship between Saami identity and the symbolic landscapes they inhabit. Focusing on trails and their significance, Paine argues that these physical pathways are not merely routes for travel but also represent cultural and historical narratives that shape Saami self-perception. The article examines how trails embody ancestral knowledge, connect generations, and serve as a tangible link to the land, reinforcing a sense of belonging and continuity within the Saami community. Paine's analysis highlights the importance of understanding indigenous perspectives on landscape and the role of symbolic geography in shaping cultural identity.
