Presentations at this years Forum for Development Cooperation with Indigenous Peoples all recognized the current strengthening of indigenous rights at global, regional and national levels – as evidenced by the growing body of documents outlining comprehensive ideals for indigenous rights. These are laid out in the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP) the International Labour Organization Convention 169 (ILO 169), and in other global, regional and national documents recognizing indigenous rights. Many of the presentations also gave concrete examples of how these ideals are easily bypassed by governments and corporations when they are inconvenient for them, and what other challenges can arise in efforts to implement indigenous peoples right to participation. What are the possible solutions? What is the way out of the ‘implementation gap’ as many referred to it? How can we move forward productively in a way that allows for indigenous peoples to really participate in decision-making processes that affect them – not only those are defined as ‘indigenous’ but at all levels? These were the questions that the conference presentations addressed.
Description:
This is the report from the 11th annual Forum for Development Cooperation with Indigenous
Peoples, which commenced the 24th-26th of October 2010. The Centre for Sámi Studies hosted
the conference at the University of Tromsø, Norway.
The article discusses the activities of both indigenous people and religion online, and introduces the pair of concepts indigeneity-online/online-indigeneity as a means of analysing this activity. This concept is new, and leans heavily on the pair of concepts religion-online/online-religion that is used in religious studies. The second part of the article consists of an analysis of the website www.osko.no, a site for the Christian education of Sami children and youth. I treat this as an expression of, or a medium for, the contemporary formation of Sami identity, and argue that it can be seen as an indigenous website. The Church of Norway, as an institution with a strong history of colonization and Norwegianization, has developed into an institution that seeks to integrate, implement and strengthen the Sami voices and traditions to such extent thatSami Christians use it as platform for the communication of a Sami kind of Christianity. www.osko.no is an example of a certain articulation of Sami identity. What seems to be the preferred or idealized Saminess is related to nature and a particular past, and is distant to modernity, urban culture and Norwegian culture.

During the last part of the nineteenth century, Finnmark province and the Northern part of Troms experienced a decline in intergenerational coresidence. This article discusses what impact ethnic affiliation and economic activity had on the living arrangements of the elderly, and what contributed to the change. Logistic regression shows that ethnicity played a role, but its effect disappears after controlling for economic activity. Intergenerational coresidence was positively associated with being a married Sámi male with an occupation in farming or combined fishing and farming. As such a person grew older, he was increasingly likely to live separately from an own adult child. This pattern changed towards the end of nineteenth century. By the close of the century, ethnic differences had disappeared, and headship position, irrespective of marital status, was strongly related to coresidence.
