Author Barbara Sjoholm will discuss national museums in the Nordic countries with significant collections of Sámi material culture. She’ll also discuss the establishment of Sámi museums in Norway, Sweden, and Finland in the past fifty years and their role in the renaissance of Indigenous Sámi music, duodji (handicraft), and language restoration.
