Course Description<\/span><\/h2>\n

This interdisciplinary course explores the S\u00e1mi, an indigenous people living mainly in the northern parts of Norway, Sweden, Finland, and Russia. 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>\n

Rationale<\/h3>\n

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>\n

Final Presentation<\/h3>\n

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>\n

Takeaways<\/h3>\n

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>\n

Connections<\/h3>\n

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. The course page is linked below.<\/p>\n
