Indigenous efflorescence refers to the surprising economic prosperity, demographic increase and cultural renaissance currently found amongst many Indigenous communities around the world. This book moves beyond a more familiar focus on ‘revitalisation’ to situate these developments within their broader political and economic contexts. The materials in this volume also examine the everyday practices and subjectivities of Indigenous efflorescence and how these exist in tension with ongoing colonisation of Indigenous lands, and the destabilising impacts of global neoliberal capitalism. Contributions to this volume include both research articles and shorter case studies, and are drawn from amongst the Ainu and Sami (Saami/Sámi) peoples (in Ainu Mosir in northern Japan, and Sapmi in northern Europe, respectively). This volume will be of use to scholars working on contemporary Indigenous issues, as well as to Indigenous peoples engaged in linguistic and cultural revitalisation, and other aspects of Indigenous efflorescence.

Hunters in Transition provides a new outline of the early history of the Sámi, the indigenous population of northernmost Europe. Discussing crucial issues such as the formation of Sámi ethnicity, interaction with chieftain and state societies, and the transition from hunting to reindeer herding, the book departs from the common trope whereby native encounters with other cultures, state societies, and “modernity”, are depicted mainly in negative terms. Far from always victimizing “the other”, the interaction with outside societies played a crucial role in generating and maintaining a number of features considered integral to Sámi culture. At the same time the authors also emphasize internal processes and dynamics and show how these have greatly contributed to the diverse historical trajectories with which this book is concerned. Listed by Choice magazine as one of the Outstanding Academic Titles of 2014

The Sámi are a Northern indigenous people whose land, Sápmi, covers territory in Finland, Norway, Russia, and Sweden. For the Nordic Sámi, the last decades of the twentieth century saw their indigenous rights partially recognized, a cultural and linguistic revival, and the establishment of Sámi parliaments. The Russian Sámi, however, did not have the same opportunities and were isolated behind the closed border until the dissolution of the Soviet Union. This book examines the following two decades and the Russian Sámi's attempt to achieve a linguistic revival, to mend the Cold War scars, and to establish their own independent ethno-political organizations.

This volume presents in tightly edited form more than ninety papers from the third international symposium on circumpolar health, held in Yellowknife in July 1974. The conference brought together physicians and paramedical professionals from all the circumpolar nations. They discussed methods of delivering health care and education to isolated communities, the epidemiology and pathology of current epidemics, and the many physiological, social, psychological, and medical problems arising from the sudden acculturation of indigenous northern peoples to a western life-style. Physiologists and nutritionists will be interested in the effects of changes from natural to processed foods and of diminished levels of physical activity; sociologists and psychologists in adaptations to rapid social change and the attendant problems of alcoholism and violence; epidemiologists in the spread and subsequent control of bacteria, viruses, and parasites previously unknown in northern communities; physicians in such common northern problems as upper respiratory and each infections; dental surgeons in the impact of changing foods on oral health; and geneticists and anthropologists in the potential for study of small communities of a common basic stock which have lived in isolation for many centuries. Many of the problems encountered by white workers in the north -- exposure to cold, venereal disease, unusual rhythms of light and darkness, responses to isolation, and even relationships between isolated professionals and their university-based supervisors -- are also discussed.
