Indigenous Religions in the Sixth Missionary District: The Case of the Hillsa Drum
Abstract
Sámi drums are central in understanding the indigenous religions
in earlier Sámi societies.1
The recently reported find of the goavddis (drum) from Hillsá opens for a view into a complex religious
world in a period of religious change and transformation. We believe the goavddis is an important object that can help shed light
on Sámi cultures in the past and present, as well as contribute to
new perspectives.
