Résumé:
This book is a stunning journey through Sápmi and includes in-depth interviews with Sámi artists, activists, and scholars boldly standing up for the rights of their people. In this illustrated work, Gabriel Kuhn, author of over a dozen books and interpreter of global social justice movements, aims to raise awareness of the ongoing fight of the Sámi for justice and self-determination. The first accessible English-language introduction to the history of the Sámi people and the first account that focuses on their political resistance, this provocative work gives irrefutable evidence of the important role the Sámi play in the resistance of indigenous people against an economic and political system whose power to destroy all life on earth has reached a scale unprecedented in the history of humanity.

Résumé:
Material objects—things made, used, and treasured—tell the story of a people and place. So it is for the Indigenous Sámi living in Norway, Sweden, Finland, and Russia, whose story unfolds across borders and centuries, in museums and private collections. The objects created by the Sámi for daily and ceremonial use were purchased and taken by Scandinavians and foreign travelers in Lapland from the seventeenth century to the present, and the collections described in ''From Lapland to Sápmi'' map a complex history that is gradually shifting to a renaissance of Sámi culture and craft, along with the return of many historical objects to Sápmi, the Sámi homeland.

Résumé:
"Words of the Inuit" is an important compendium of Inuit culture illustrated through Inuit words. It brings the sum of the author’s decades of experience and engagement with Inuit and Inuktitut to bear on what he fashions as an amiable, leisurely stroll through words and meanings. Inuit words are often more complex than English words and frequently contain small units of meaning that add up to convey a larger sensibility. Dorais’ lexical and semantic analyses and reconstructions are not overly technical, yet they reliably evince connections and underlying significations that allow for an in-depth reflection on the richness of Inuit linguistic and cultural heritage and identity. An appendix on the polysynthetic character of Inuit languages includes more detailed grammatical description of interest to more specialist readers. Organized thematically, the book tours the histories and meanings of the words to illuminate numerous aspects of Inuit culture, including environment and the land; animals and subsistence activities; humans and spirits; family, kinship, and naming; the human body; and socializing with other people in the contemporary world. It concludes with a reflection on the usefulness for modern Inuit- especially youth and others looking to strengthen their cultural identity- to know about the underlying meanings embedded in their language and culture. With recent reports alerting us to the declining use of the Inuit language in the North, "Words of the Inuit" is a timely contribution to understanding one of the world’s most resilient Indigenous languages.

Résumé:
In 2015, writer and journalist Paul Seesequasis found himself grappling with the devastating findings of Canada's Truth and Reconciliation Commission report on the residential school system. He sought understanding and inspiration in the stories of his mother, herself a residential school survivor. Gradually, Paul realized that another, mostly untold history existed alongside the official one: that of how Indigenous peoples and communities had held together during even the most difficult times. He embarked on a social media project to collect archival photos capturing everyday life in First Nations, Metis and Inuit communities from the 1920s through the 1970s. As he scoured archives and libraries, Paul uncovered a trove of candid images and began to post these on social media, where they sparked an extraordinary reaction. Friends and relatives of the individuals in the photographs commented online, and through this dialogue, rich histories came to light for the first time. ''Blanket toss under midnight sun'' collects some of the most arresting images and stories from Paul's project. While many of the photographs live in public archives, most have never been shown to the people in the communities they represent. As such, ''Blanket Toss'' is not only an invaluable historical record, it is a meaningful act of reclamation, showing the ongoing resilience of Indigenous communities, past, present--and future.

Résumé:
In this volume, Lisa E. Bloom considers the ways artists, filmmakers, and activists engaged with the Arctic and Antarctic to represent our current environmental crises and reconstruct public understandings of them. Bloom engages feminist, Black, Indigenous, and non-Western perspectives to address the exigencies of the experience of the Anthropocene and its attendant ecosystem failures, rising sea levels, and climate-led migrations. As opposed to mainstream media depictions of climate change that feature apocalyptic spectacles of distant melting ice and desperate polar bears, artists such as Katja Aglert, Subhankar Banerjee, Joyce Campbell, Judit Hersko, Roni Horn, Isaac Julien, Zacharias Kunuk, Connie Samaras, and activist art collectives take a more complex poetic and political approach. Bloom’s examination and contextualization of new polar aesthetics makes environmental degradation more legible while demonstrating that our own political agency is central to imagining and constructing a better world.

Résumé:
L’ouverture du musée du quai Branly est l’aboutissement d’un rêve déjà ancien : celui de Claude Lévi-Strauss d’abord, d’André Malraux ensuite et enfin celui né de la rencontre entre Jacques Chirac, passionné depuis toujours par les arts du bout du monde, et Jacques Kerchache, auteur du manifeste «Les chefs-d’œuvre du monde entier naissent libres et égaux en droit». De cette ferveur commune pour les arts non occidentaux est née l’idée de créer un lieu qui rende aux cultures minoritaires leur juste place dans les institutions muséales de la France. Dès 1995, le président de la République m’a demandé de conduire un groupe de réflexion sur ce futur musée. Le projet ne s’est pas fait en un jour, il a suscité des débats, traversé des tempêtes, rencontré des détracteurs, nourri des passions. L’accueil enthousiaste que le public réserve au musée du quai Branly depuis son ouverture est bien plus qu’une récompense, c’est la démonstration qu’une telle institution répond à une attente réelle et légitime et que ceux qui l’ont voulue avaient compris cette nécessité culturelle. Le projet architectural du musée du quai Branly est atypique. Il témoigne de la maturité du travail de Jean Nouvel. Répondant à des exigences spécifiques en matière d’image, d’identité, d’accessibilité et d’insertion urbaine, bénéficiant d’un site exceptionnel, à l’ombre de la tour Eiffel, il joue sur l’émotion, le dépaysement, la joie de la découverte. Le bâtiment, par son architecture novatrice, incarne parfaitement les ambitions qui étaient au cœur de ce grand projet : la tolérance, la reconnaissance et le respect des différences. Affirmation du refus d’une conception étriquée des savoirs et d’une hiérarchie des arts établie au détriment des productions artistiques des autres continents, il illustre l’engagement de la France voulu par Jacques Chirac en faveur de la diversité culturelle. C’est au contact des artistes, chercheurs et muséologues étrangers que se tisseront maintenant des liens durables avec la communauté scientifique et culturelle internationale. C’est aussi au contact des peuples autochtones que se forgera une appréhension plus juste de la manière de présenter et de faire vivre leurs patrimoines. Souhaitons que l’échange de ces regards et de ces questionnements nourrisse et enrichisse cette jeune et belle institution. Jacques Friedmann, Président d’honneur

Finding your way around Sami building culture and architecture can be a challenge, as the material is scattered and sometimes inaccessible. This book is intended as both an introduction and a guide to deepening one's knowledge of the subject - in North Sami, Norwegian and English. In October 2021, the National Museum opened an exhibition of architect and artist Joar Nango's nomadic architectural library Girjegumpi. During the opening weekend, the museum organized a seminar on Sami architecture, and the lectures from the seminar are the basis for the book. Here you can read more about Nango's work Girjegumpi, Sami building practices, the treatment of the Sami in the history of architecture in Norway, how reconstruction and Norwegianization went hand in hand, the phenomenon of kjempelávvu, and also get an overview of Sami architecture on the Norwegian side of Sápmi.

Résumé:
Originally published in 1974, this book is a critical work of Indigenous political activism that has long been out of print. George Manuel, a leader in the North American Indian movement at that time, with coauthor journalist Michael Posluns, presents a rich historical document that traces the struggle for Indigenous survival as a nation, a culture, and a reality. The authors shed light on alternatives for coexistence that would take place in the Fourth World—an alternative to the new world, the old world, and the Third World. Manuel was the first to develop this concept of the “fourth world” to describe the place occupied by Indigenous nations within colonial nation-states. Accompanied by a new introduction and afterword, this book is as poignant and provocative today as it was when first published.
