81. Unasylva - No. 186 - Forest - Dependent People - Boreal Forest Dwellers: The Saa Compared with other indigenous peoples, the Saami have come a relativelylong way. Yet discrimination exists in a number of different ways. http://www.fao.org/docrep/w1033E/w1033e05.htm

Boreal forest dwellers: the Saami in Sweden L.-A. Baer Lars-Anders Baer , a Saami. is vice-president of the Saami Council (the pan-Saami non-governmental organization grouping Saami in Russia, Norway, Finland and Sweden) and president of the Union of Saami People in Sweden. He is based in Jokkmokk. Sweden. An estimated 2 million indigenous people live in the Arctic zone, the majority living in the boreal forest area - the taiga. This article considers the Saami, reindeerherding forest dweller, and the impact on their lifestyle of changing land-use patterns and industrial forests, primarily in Sweden. The Saami language belongs to the Uralic language family which is divided into two main groups: the Samoyedic languages and the Finno-Ugric languages. Saami belongs to the Finno-Ugric language group. The Saami people are few in number, officially estimated at about 70 000 (35000 in Norway. 17000 in Sweden. 5 000 in Finland and 2 000 in Russia) However, it is difficult to estimate the true size of the Saami population since no census has been taken among the Saami as a whole and there are indications that the true numbers may be as high as 100 000. Keeping the population estimates of the Saami people low has been in the political interest of the different nations. The present Saami settlement area can be divided into four or five natural geographic areas: the Arctic coast; Finnmark: the high mountain range with its eastern spurs and the low mountains with their adjacent forests in the deep river valley; and the boreal woodlands (taiga) of northern Sweden and northern Finland, as well as the Kola Peninsula.

HRS PHONE PERSONAL PAGE: jdanders@colby.edu Lovejoy 311 MF http://www.colby.edu/personal/jdanders/ COURSE DESCRIPTION: Throughout its history, anthropology has been committed to and active in maintaining the rights of indigenous peoples against the destructive global forces of nation-state power, racist ideologies, assimilation, and industrial resource appropriation. To develop an informed, up-to-date, and critical understanding of these issues, the course will offer an overview of the contemporary state of indigenous peoples and then guide students in pursuing on-line research of Internet sites established by indigenous peoples themselves, anthropological groups, international human rights organizations, world news services, national governments, and the United Nations. COURSE OBJECTIVES: 1. The course critically examines the cultural and political meanings of concepts used to talk about human rights, especially considering the universalist versus relativist debate.

As an Indigenous man of the Wiradjuri Tribe of New South Wales in Australia, I have had considerable exposure to multimedia including the internet and its so called trappings over the last 9 years. But what concerns me most as an Indigenous person is the amount of Indigenous content on the Web and the lack of authenticity of these pages. History shows that over the last few centuries Indigenous cultures of the world have suffered injustices from ignorant, narrow minded society's and their lack of appreciation and understanding of anothers culture, society and spirituality. But what really gets my back up is the total absorbtion of Indigenous cultures, after the dismantling by the invading culture through either genocide, government policy, stealing children and disempowerment through the lack of currency and information sharing, we now have the invading culture immersing themselves within the culture that they have suppressed. I feel it is totally inadequite and rude that Universities, Public Broadcasters and archival structures sell this material for say $100 a second or if not portray themselves on the Net via the Web with large corporate looking pages with no input or consent from communities regarding the Intelectual Property of either the content or images.

Odin Government Ministries Archive ... Norway in facts and figures The Sami of Norway The Norwegian state was founded on the territory of two peoples - Norwegians and Sami. It is clear that the Sami, as an indigenous people in Norway, have a special right to cultural protection. Norway's Sami policies mark the consolidation of this goal. The name Sami stems from sapmi which denotes both the geographical territory for the traditional Sami settlement areas and the people themselves. By Wenke Brenna The Sami live in the polar region in what today comprises the northern area of Norway, Sweden, Finland and Russia's Kola peninsula. Policies toward the Sami have diverged strongly among these four sovereign states. From the south the traditional Sami region extends from Femunden in Norway's Hedmark county to Idre, in Dalarne, Sweden. To the north it stretches to the Kola peninsula in Russia and down to Finland in the southeast. Norway has the biggest Sami population. The size of the Sami population has been reckoned at 75,000, but estimates vary in accordance with criteria used (genetic heritage, mother tongue, personal wishes, etc.). Official censuses have not given reliable counts. Because of the assimilation process, not all Sami have wished to acknowledge or declare their ethnic identity. For this reason, the Sami parliaments in the Nordic countries have worked out their own criteria for defining Sami from a combination of subjective and objective factors.
