With the aim to reach deeper insights into dynamics of resilience and resurgence in Sámi systems of knowledge, this article explores how Sámi worldviews and knowledges are enacted and passed on despite violent efforts of erasure by colonial state actors and settler colonialists. I analyze a variety of sources—interviews, a podcast, a documentary and a magazine—to highlight Sámi resilience and resurgence from different sites in the Norwegian part of Sápmi. Using the notion of heritage work, I illustrate how Sámi knowledge systems have kept their inner coherence while emerging in close affinity with hegemonic systems of knowledge. While illuminating tensions, contestations and complexities, the analysis brings attention to intersections between Sámi spirituality and Lutheran Christianity and recognize the embodied ways in which Sámi epistemes and nature-centered and multi-relational cosmologies are practiced beyond logocentric modes of knowledge, and highlight the role of gender for passing on these tacit forms of knowledge
