River Dialogues Across Sápmi
UiT – The Arctic University of Norway is hosting River Dialogues Across Sápmi, funded by the Research Council of Norway. Events will take place in Tromsø, Manndalen, Alta, Karasjok and Utsjoki between June 23–27. The project explores the question: Do rivers have a voice in current environmental governance and politics?
Through site-specific activities and dialogue, the aim is to bring together students, researchers, artists, and community members to reflect on the role of water and rivers across Sápmi. The week concludes with a two-day public and community-based workshop in Deatnu/Tana on June 26–27, focusing on interdisciplinary and cross-cultural perspectives on river systems and their importance for Indigenous knowledge, local livelihoods, and ecological sustainability.
