Bridging traditional and scientific knowledge on reindeer meat smoking - a pilot study
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-05-18)Smoking reindeer meat in a traditional Sámi lávvu (tent) is a knowledgeable and long tradition for food preservation among Sámi reindeer herders. However, due to the formation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) during smoking, scientists associate smoked meat with human health risks. PAH contamination of smoked food depends on the smoking method, the temperature and the wood species. The ... -
The knowledge that went up in smoke: Reindeer herders' traditional knowledge of smoked reindeer meat in literature
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-05-21)Using a literature review, this paper defines the knowledge status of smoked reindeer meat and investigates to what degree reindeer herders’ traditional knowledge has been included in scientific articles and grey literature. We developed a four-level categorisation of the degree of including traditional knowledge, from “non-participation” to “self-determination,” and three levels of focus. Very few ... -
Methane emissions are lower from reindeer fed lichens compared to a concentrate feed
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018)Methane emissions from reindeer (Rangifer tarandus tarandus) fed lichens (mainly Cladonia stellaris) and a concentrate feed were determined using open-circuit respirometry. The lichen diet was low in crude protein (< 2.6% of dry matter [DM]), starch (6.0% DM) and acid detergent lignin (2.0% DM) compared to the concentrate feed (12.7, 22.5 and 7.2% DM, respectively), and high in neutral detergent ... -
Resilience Thinking in Reindeer Husbandry
(Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2023-10-28)Resilience expresses the capacity of a social-ecological system to adapt to, absorb, or withstand perturbations and other stressors so that the system remains. Reindeer nomadic husbandry is a coupled social-ecological system that sustains resilience by interacting with the animals and environment: either the herders adjust their actions to animal behavior or change this behavior in ways that suit ... -
Sámi Gastronomy: the Role of Traditional Knowledge
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-12-07)Traditional knowledge in food security is important for achieving sustainable food production systems. One example of food security is tenderness and meat quality. This article investigates the lack of Sámi reindeer herders' knowledge of meat tenderness and explores its relation to gastronomy and food sovereignty. Sámi family-produced reindeer meat is regarded as tender, while such meat is rarely ... -
Sámi reindeer governance in Norway as competing knowledge systems: a participatory study
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017)Using a participatory research approach, we assess the knowledge systems and political ontology of reindeer husbandry. The study was conducted by a mixed team of scientists and Sámi reindeer herders who practiced reindeer husbandry in West Finnmark, northern Norway, both prior to and during the state-led “rationalization” of Sámi reindeer husbandry since the late 1970s. The analysis is based on the ... -
