Thinking About Indigenous Religions
Welcome to «Thinking About Indigenous Religions», a podcast where scholars, activists, artists, practitioners, and students discuss their understandings and usages of the term indigenous religions. The ambition is to address questions that many of us think of when we are thinking about indigenous religions. Are they the religions of indigenous peoples or a distinct group of religions? Is it a method, a theory, or a research field? Who gets to define indigenous religions? Who has already been defining indigenous religions, and whose voices and claims are yet to be heard and recognized? What makes a practice recognizable as religious and indigenous? This podcast is brought to you by INREL and GOVMAT from the Department of Archaeology, History, Religious Studies and Theology at UiT The Arctic University of Norway. Recording studio and technical support: UiT Result. Musical intro and outro: Lasse Michelsen. Host, editor and logo designer: Liudmila Nikanorova.

"Norwegian Government did not just give us Sámi rights; we, the Sámi people, demanded our rights!"
In Part Two of this two-part episode, we continue the conversation with Sámi anthropologist and activist Jorunn Eikjok, as she takes us through the protest site in Oslo, 1979 .
The Alta Conflict is reported to be the largest Sámi protest, which was followed by fundamental changes in the relationship between the Sámi people and the Norwegian State. Find Part One here.
