Summary:

"The book builds on Kjell Olsen PhD thesis with the same name, and illustrates how the institutionalization of a Sami ethno-politics affects our understanding of individual identity in coastal and fjord areas of Finnmark. The analysis is based on how the public and other institutions maintains a view of the Sami clearly avgrensbart from a Norwegian culture. Essentially happens this continuation using the emblematic symbols that have their basis in a Sami reindeer culture associated with the inner Finnmark. Thus, this form of official continuation of Sami often standing in contrast to the local culture on the coast and in the fjords of Finnmark." --Pub. website (translated by Google).
