In this lecture, we look at the cultural heritage sites that have been registered and what they can tell us about the island's history. This includes trade history, the use of outfields, and, not least, the occupying powers' activities during World War II.<\/p>\n\n\n\n See the event on Facebook<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Monday 6 September at 5:25 PM, the cultural hall, Centre for Northern Peoples<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Offer sites or wolf traps? A study of stone circles in Sami landscapes, by Marte Spangen, UiT.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n In Finnmark and Nord-Troms, a special type of stone circle has been interpreted as S\u00e1mi offering sites. Eventually, this has become a common interpretation of all sorts of stone circles in both S\u00e1mi areas and areas with no known older S\u00e1mi settlement. Is it true that stone circles are S\u00e1mi offering sites, or could they have other explanations \u2013 both in Finnmark and Troms and in other areas?<\/p>\n\n\n\n Tuesday 7 September at 18:05, culture hall, Centre for Northern Peoples<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n See the event on Facebook<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Archaeological excavations of the oldest marketplace in Skibotn, by G\u00f8rill Nilsen, UiT<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The Department of Archaeology, History, Religious Studies and Theology at UiT conducted excavations at the oldest marketplace in Skibotn from 2019 to 2021.

Burial customs and written sources show that the bear bones were treated with respect, and carefully placed in caves and in cairns. The practices surrounding the old S\u00e1mi bear cult are also a shared tradition across all of S\u00e1pmi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n See the event on Facebook<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Monday 6 September, 7:20 PM, Kultursalen, Centre for Northern Peoples.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The house belonging to Marj-Inger has been restored so that visitors can gain insight into her life and work. Marj-Inger was born at the end of the 19th century. She moved out of the house in 1976. The house remained as she had left it, with furnishings and clothes. As the years passed, deterioration took hold. During the restoration of the house, care was taken to document everything, including the homemade furniture, tools, crockery, and clothes belonging to her. Much of this has been returned to the house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It is told of Marj-Inger that she was a woman with backbone. She lived alone and supported herself with odd jobs, leatherwork, and some hay sales. Everyone in the village knew who she was and a number of stories about her have been preserved. It is said that few dared to contradict her, but that she was very fond of young people. Her little house was therefore a gathering place for many youngsters. The stories about her are to be collected and shared.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The restoration of the house and the dissemination of Marj-Inger's life and work are supported by the S\u00e1mi Parliament.<\/p>\n\n\n\n At the same time as we open the Marj-Inger house, we are also opening a separate exhibition with the award-winning K\u00e5fjord artist Gjert Rognli.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In the exhibition Man can change \u2013 but the mountains are the same<\/em> Har Rognli thematises and documents the decay occurring in the sea S\u00e1mi areas of the north, and the people disappearing with their old knowledge of nature and life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The exhibition consists of 14 photos from the various hamlets in K\u00e5fjord and a short film. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Gjert Rognli himself opens the exhibition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Monday 6 September at 2.00 PM, Marj-Inger house, Kjerringsdalen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The event on Facebook<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Read more about Gjert Rognli <\/a><\/p>\n<\/figure>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Samediggi \/ The S\u00e1mi Parliament, Davvi \u00e1lbmogiid guovdd\u00e1\u0161 \/ Centre for Northern Peoples and Nord-Troms Museum warmly welcome you to two exciting Cultural Heritage Days in K\u00e5fjord on 6 and 7 September.
