Indigenous religion(s) are afterlives of a particular sort, shaped by
globalising discourses on what counts as an indigenous religion on the
one hand and the continued presence of local traditions on the other.
Focusing on the Norwegian side of Sápmi since the 1970s, this book
explores the reclaiming of ancestral pasts and notions of a
specifically Sámi religion. It connects religion, identity and
nation-building, and takes seriously the indigenous turn as well as
geographical and generational distinctions. Focal themes include
protective activism and case studies from the art and culture domain,
both of which are considered vital to the making of indigenous
afterlives in indigenous formats. This volume will be of great
interest to scholars of Global Indigenous studies, Sámi cultural
studies and politics, Ethnicity and emergence of new identities,
Anthropology, Studies in religion, and folklore studies.
