Students first place the S\u00e1mi in a historical-cultural context by examining the S\u00e1mi's social and economic systems, religion, customs, and values. The major portion of the course examines the S\u00e1mi primarily from within: the S\u00e1mi will present themselves through their literature, film, music, and art.<\/span><\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div><div class=\"et_pb_module et_d4_element et_pb_image et_pb_image_0\">\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"et_pb_image_wrap \"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1819\" src=\"https:\/\/pages.stolaf.edu\/cis-hwhite\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1566\/2023\/05\/nikola-johnny-mirkovic-vfaD7bscm7I-unsplash.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"nikola-johnny-mirkovic-vfaD7bscm7I-unsplash\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pages.stolaf.edu\/cis-hwhite\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1566\/2023\/05\/nikola-johnny-mirkovic-vfaD7bscm7I-unsplash.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/pages.stolaf.edu\/cis-hwhite\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1566\/2023\/05\/nikola-johnny-mirkovic-vfaD7bscm7I-unsplash-1280x910.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/pages.stolaf.edu\/cis-hwhite\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1566\/2023\/05\/nikola-johnny-mirkovic-vfaD7bscm7I-unsplash-980x696.jpg 980w, https:\/\/pages.stolaf.edu\/cis-hwhite\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1566\/2023\/05\/nikola-johnny-mirkovic-vfaD7bscm7I-unsplash-480x341.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) and (max-width: 1280px) 1280px, (min-width: 1281px) 2560px, 100vw\" class=\"wp-image-265\" \/><\/span>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/div><div class=\"et_d4_element et_pb_section et_pb_section_1 et_pb_with_background  et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode et_section_regular et_block_section\" >\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"et_d4_element et_pb_row et_pb_row_0  et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode et_block_row\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"et_d4_element et_pb_column_4_4 et_pb_column et_pb_column_2  et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode et-last-child et_block_column\">\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"et_pb_with_border et_pb_module et_d4_element et_pb_text et_pb_text_3  et_pb_text_align_left et_pb_bg_layout_light\">\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">Course Content<\/h2><\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/div><div class=\"et_pb_with_border et_d4_element et_pb_row et_pb_row_1 et_pb_gutters2  et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode et_block_row\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"et_d4_element et_pb_column_4_4 et_pb_column et_pb_column_3  et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode et-last-child et_block_column\">\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"et_pb_module et_d4_element et_pb_text et_pb_text_4  et_pb_text_align_left et_pb_bg_layout_light\">\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><h3>Rationale<\/h3>\n<p>From my original proposal: This course takes a look at the S\u00e1mi, or the Norwegian indigenous groups. They have their own language and culture that has been systematically erased and undermined throughout history, by their own government. Their language is a large part of their identity, as it differs from classic Norwegian. Examining the marginalization of this group once again attempts to examine the ways in which linguistic discrimination and language itself function within society.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div><div class=\"et_pb_module et_d4_element et_pb_text et_pb_text_5  et_pb_text_align_left et_pb_bg_layout_light\">\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><h3>Final Presentation<\/h3>\n<p>This persuasive presentation focused on the importance of passing on the S\u00e1mi languages, all of which are endangered. The presentation examines features of the S\u00e1mi languages, their current status in Norway, and how they may be taught going forward. The slides are linked below.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div><div class=\"et_pb_button_module_wrapper et_pb_button_0_wrapper et_pb_button_alignment_center et_pb_module \">\n\t\t\t\t<a class=\"et_pb_button et_d4_element et_pb_button_0 et_pb_bg_layout_light et_block_module\" href=\"https:\/\/pages.stolaf.edu\/cis-hwhite\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1566\/2023\/05\/Sami-persuasive-presentation.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">Presentation<\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><div class=\"et_pb_module et_d4_element et_pb_text et_pb_text_6  et_pb_text_align_left et_pb_bg_layout_light\">\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><h3>Takeaways<\/h3>\n<p>My main takeaway from this course was just how endangered the S\u00e1mi languages are and how important it is to preserve them. I also learned just how many S\u00e1mi languages there are; prior to this course I thought there was only one. These languages have been systematically extinguished from Norwegian society for generations, and are only now beginning to receive the recognition they deserve. This course gave me more information on effective inclusion of minority languages, especially in an educational context.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div><div class=\"et_pb_module et_d4_element et_pb_text et_pb_text_7  et_pb_text_align_left et_pb_bg_layout_light\">\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><h3>Connections<\/h3>\n<p>The historical approach to this course was similar to NORW 260 (Introduction to Germanic Linguistics). Additionally, this course included the history of Germanic languages, and touched on the development of S\u00e1mi languages in general.
