Sámi history and culture

I have been at the Centre for Sámi Studies since 1992.

My research areas are Sámi social and political history. As to politcal history, I have studied the early Sámi political mobilization - up to 1945. Later, I have also looked into the establishing of permanent national Sámi associations in the Nordic Countries after 1945.

As to Sámi social history, my main concern has been with an area in East Finnmark in Northernmost Norway covering today's municipalities of Gamvik, Berlevåg and Tana. I have done a quantitative study of the livestock husbandry in the 19th century, and will later study certain aspects of the population history of the area.
