The S疥i Narrative Tradition: Cosmopolitans on the Arctic Tundra (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781032053554)

This book sets out to document and analyse the S疥i narrative tradition. It considers the worldviews inherent in the narratives and links them to traditional cosmology and other cultural expressions (such as joik and duodji). The chapters address a variety of issues, including care for children, the perception of nature, disputes over land and natural resources, local justice, the spiritual world of everyday life, and L stadianism. Sketching S疥i history and the cultural context of storytelling, Nerg蚌d also considers the modern challenge for the narrative tradition. Drawing on long-term fieldwork and research, the volume is valuable reading for Indigenous studies and disciplines such as anthropology.
