The geographical focus is on the Swedish side of Sápmi, making comparisons with and learning from experiences in other Indigenous peoples territories. We draw on several earlier research projects, amongst other: EU FP7 Networking for Communications Challenged Communities (N4C); Seed Box: An Environmental Humanities Collaboratory; Safe and sustainable energy futures in Sápmi and Indigenous Climate Change Studies, within the National research program on climate.
