Saami Societies, History and Culture

We often answer questions like "Can you direct me to literature on Contemporary Saami Society?" "Where can I read about the Saami Rights issues?" etc. This list is a compiled as an outcome of such questions, and we hope you will find something of interest for you. If you want more information, please feel free to mail to Regnor Jernsletten (Regnor.Jernsletten@sami.uit.no) - I will do my best to answer your questions. But don't be disappointed if it takes me some time before you hear from me ...
