The Copying of a Rátnu

The Copying of a ‘Rátnu’

As part of the Bååstede project (restoration of Sámi cultural heritage), Dávvi Álbmogiid Guovddáš is in the process of copying a ‘rátnu’ that is included in the project. The background is the desire that certain objects that are part of the Bååstede project, should be able to be displayed both at the Sámi museums and at the Norwegian Folk Museum. This is solved by copying certain objects.

For DÁG’s part, this included one ‘rátnu’ that was part of the project, object no. NFSA 3655, which was woven by Nils Oppervoll from Manndalen in 1958. The goal of copying is also the preservation and strengthening of traditional Sámi production processes (intangible cultural heritage) from a Sámi perspective, from materials to finished product.

The copying project is also a knowledge transfer project, where thorough documentation of the process is done, including material knowledge. This should later be used for dissemination purposes. The project is carried out in collaboration with Manndalen husflidslag, whose members have the best expertise in Sámi ‘rátnu’ weaving.

Kjellaug Isaksen is responsible for the practical implementation and documentation. Project manager is Henrik Olsen.

Máhtut – Sámi Knowledge and Practises in the ERA of the Green Transition

This week we had our first meeting with partners in the Máhtut project in Manndalen. DÁG will contribute Sea Sami food traditions to this cross-border project, which, among other things, has food knowledge and food sovereignty as its focus.

The gathering in Manndalen this week focused on Sea Sami food expertise, and resources found in the local community. A visit to Vatnegården to Katarina Niva and Dag Runar Voldvik was part of the programme. They run both dairy cows and sheep and have several other animals on their farm, and are skilled communicators of local food production.

MÁHTUT – Sámi Knowledge and Practices in the ERA of the Green Transition aims to promote and preserve traditional Sami livelihood skills, knowledge and practices in Sami communities in various parts of Sápmi. It is a three-year project financed by Interreg Aurora’s Sápmi programme.

The project’s main collaboration partner (EU) is the University of Lapland. The other partners are Sámi oahpahusguovddáš (Anár), Várdduo, Center for Sámi research at (Umeå University) and Norway’s Arctic University Museum (Tromsø). The Center for Northern People is one of several Sami partners in the project.
