Indigenous avant la lettre
The origins and livelihoods of the Sámi in European scholarly thought 1930–1960
About
The project ”Indigenous avant la lettre. The origins and livelihoods of the Sámi in European scholarly thought 1930–1960”, funded through the Swedish Research Council's International postdoc grant, studies the prehistory of the concept "indigenous". In what terms did early twentieth century Nordic and European scholars describe and discuss the origins and the livelihoods of the Sámi before the term ”indigenous” was widely in use? The scholarly discussions on the origins and the livelihoods of the Sámi included important links to international debates on themes such as ecology, evolution, and the preservation and education of indigenous peoples.
