Advances in Sámi Archaeology, Árran Lulesami center – Ájluokta /Drag, 28-30th August
We are now approaching the conference, which we all in the organization committee are looking forward to! We are still working on the last bits and pieces, but we will be prepared to receive you when you are arriving to Ájluokta/Drag and to the Árran Lulesami center (Julevsáme guovdásj) where the conference will be held from 28-30th August.
In 2018 the first conference Advances in Sámi Archaeology was organized and held at the Siida Museum in Inari. Themes that were discussed at the conference in Inari were centered to "Burials and human remains, Social implications and ethical considerations, Memory, traditions and religion, From hunting to herding, and Settlements and networks". The second conference was held at Silvermuseet in Arjeplog 2022. Themes that were discussed were "Sami archaeology, Indigenous methodologies and Ethnobiologies".
Now it is time once more to gather again and discuss where Sámi Archaeology stands today and how to bring forward the field and research. The themes for this 3-day conference are "Sámi burial customs: Repatriation/Reburial and Ethical Perspectives, Indigenous perspectives, Indigenous Archaeology, Reading Sámi Ethnicity in Archaeology, and Maritime Adaptation/Coastal and Lake Adaptation or General Sámi Research".
The conference is organized by Oddmund Andersen (Árran Lulesami center), Sidsel Bakke (Sámi Parliament) and Arne Håkon Thomassen (Sámi Parliament).
The conference is a part of Bodø 2024: https://www.bodo2024.no/
