“…I en kontekst der urfolket er en minoritet som bor spredt rundt i bysamfunnet blir eksistensen av samlingspunkter som kulturhus, barnehager, opplaeringsinstitusjoner o.l. viktige -for videreføring og revitalisering av språk, kultur og identitet, og for at det skal finnes sosiale arenaer der et urbant samisk lokalsamfunn kan trives og vokse (Berg-Nordlie, 2018;Berg-Nordlie et al, under utgivelse). Politikernes prioriteringer gjenspeilet dette, med ett unntak: Nordkalottfolket skilte seg grunnleggende ut, siden toppkandidaten i stedet for å nevne språkopplaering og legge vekt på spesielle urbane samiske utfordringer, trakk fram «rettferdighet mellom ulike samiske interesser» og mellom «den samiske og norsk/kvenske lokalbefolkning» nord i landet.…”

In this introductory chapter, we present the foundations for the analyses of the main chapters. We first present some basic features of the Sámi political system in Norway: the electoral roll, the constituencies, and how the number of registered voters has increased in the different constituencies. Next, the parties and lists that participate in Sámi elections are presented. We then describe the political situation before the 2017 elections, and the outcome of this election. We then turn to the data and methods used in the book, before we present the chapters of the book and discuss some overarching conclusions.

“…Secondly, it is not known if outsiders who in older times were included into the kin or local community were also generally accepted as Sámi. Thirdly, the centrality of kin and local community in Sámi culture may wane due to urbanization and economic specialization-although research into urban Sámi identity and community do indicate that ties to kin and ancestral rural communities remain strong among urban Sámi (Berg-Nordlie, 2018;Dankertsen & Åhrén, 2018).…”

“…So I don't know. ('Jon',Vuemie,F1R0) The urbanization of the Sámi and what this means for an Indigenous people whose cultural strongholds during the age of assimilation policy have been rural, is a subject of ongoing discussion both on popular, political, and academic arenas (Berg-Nordlie, 2018;Dankertsen & Åhrén, 2018;Pedersen & Nyseth, 2015). This again forms part of a global debate on Indigenous urbanization and what it means for the survival of Indigenous identity, culture, and community (Dorries et al, 2019;Peters & Andersen, 2013).…”

“…One may attempt to learn traditional arts from textual sources, but even in that case, social media groups dedicated to traditional arts constitute a relational element in the learning-and production process. Those who utilize art produced by others may also enjoy this in social settings-notably at the many festivals, markets and culture houses where Sámi culture is performed, sold, and practiced (Berg-Nordlie 2018). Natureusage is also often a social activity, and can be a gateway to reconnecting with Sámi community: … it's in the last decades that I've been with the other Sámi, fishing on the river.…”

‘Sámi in the Heart’: Kinship, Culture, and Community as Foundations for Indigenous Sámi Identity in Norway

The article demonstrates broad variation regarding what is considered to be at the 'core' of Sámi ethnicity by different people. The differences are here typologized as kinship-, culture-or community-based 'foundations' for Sámi ethnicity. Ideas about individual Sámi ethnicity tended to focus on individual traits more than individuals' social relationships. This may be influenced by non-Sámi authorities' focus on individual descendancy, but also by certain aspects of modern Indigenous politics. The article discusses the distinction between relational and individual foundations for ethnicity, pointing to their interconnectedness. It also discusses the difference between genetics and kinship, and potential consequences of a genetics-focused definition of Sáminess.

“…Increased mobility, due to a higher educational level and more differentiated work opportunities elsewhere, are driving forces for change. As a result, more and more Sámi, particularly young men and women, move not only to the cities in the region but increasingly also to other parts of urban Norway (Angell and Lie 2016;Berg-Nordlie 2018). A growing number of Sámi people experience a decoupling from the traditional territories and traditional Sámi industries.…”

Industrial development in the North – Sámi interests squeezed between globalization and tradition

In this article, we analyse tensions in Sámi local communities meeting new industrial development. Indigenous communities experience outmigration and are in need of new business development and employment. Global extractive companies may offer new jobs, but the type and scale of these jobs put pressure on traditional indigenous livelihoods. The study underlines the importance of two core ideal type Sámi positionstraditionalist and moderniston future industrial development in rural Sámi areas in Norway. These positions are playing themselves out in different ways by the most important Sámi institutions; The Sámi Parliament (Sámediggi), The Finnmark Estate (FeFo) and Sámipopulated municipalities. The result is a deep-going institutional conflict around industrial development, making it very difficult to find compromises. To shed light on these conflicts and their implications, we analyse how different positions are institutionally visible in the ongoing battle concerning the Nussir mining case in the Sámi municipality Kvalsund in Northern Norway.
