Defining the limitations and opportunities in the consultation with the Sámi in the cases of the Arctic Railway and Davvi Windpark. 

During the seminar Inker-Anni will present a study about consultation with the Sámi and discuss the limitations and opportunities of consulting Indigenous peoples based on two cases, the Arctic Railway and Davvi Vindpark. 

The study is summarized in an article that you can find here.


Abstract
The results of this study points to a number of limitations in the consultation with the Sámi, such as incomplete information, lack of transparency and the failure of governments to build relationships based on trust with the Sámi. The article discusses limitations and opportunities of consulting indigenous peoples based on two cases, the Arctic Railway and Davvi Vindpark. It builds on the analysis of news articles from the Sámi unit of the Finnish national broadcasting company as well as “memory-work”. Additionally, the findings of this study seem to indicate that the limitations to consultation and participation of indigenous peoples persist even after signing international agreements such as the ILO Convention 169. In the conclusions, we also point to some opportunities for consultation and greater participation found in the investigation.

 

The seminar will be held in English and on Zoom. The link will be sent out on our mailing list. If you want to participate and are not on the list - contact Karin Johansson.
