This book sets out to document and analyse the Sámi narrative
tradition. It considers the worldviews inherent in the narratives and
links them to traditional cosmology and other cultural expressions
(such as joik and duodji). The chapters address a variety of issues,
including care for children, the perception of nature, disputes over
land and natural resources, local justice, the spiritual world of
everyday life, and Læstadianism. Sketching Sámi history and the
cultural context of storytelling, Nergård also considers the modern
challenge for the narrative tradition. Drawing on long-term fieldwork
and research, the volume is valuable reading for Indigenous studies
and disciplines such as anthropology.
