  • Sollaug Sárgon: Mu gorut

    Barneboka Mu gorut (Min kropp) har som formål å lære barn å sette grenser for sin egen kropp og å forebygge seksuelle overgrep i Sápmi.

    Dette er et tema som det er vanskelig å kan snakke om, men det er viktig at små barn lærer å sette grenser og bestemme over sin egen kropp. De må lære å skille mellom når det er trygt og når det ikke er. Det er også viktig at de lærer å sette grenser muntlig.

    Forfatteren Sollaug Sárgon er fra Kautokeino, og er godt kjent med det samiske samfunnet. Hun er barnevernspedagog og spesialpedagog og har jobbet med barn og unge i det samiske samfunnet hele sin yrkeskarriere, forteller Sárgon.

    Bokas målgrupper er barn i alderen 3-9 år. Nordsamisk tekst.

  • Jon Petter A. Stoor: Suicide among Sámi – Cultural meanings of suicide and interventions for suicide prevention in Nordic parts of Sápmi

    Doktogradsavhandling om selvmord blant samer. Målet med denne studien var å utforske og belyse hvordan selvmord forstås blant samer og hvilke konkrete tiltak som er iverksatt for å forhindre selvmord blant samer i nordiske deler av Sápmi. Tekst på engelsk.

    In suicidological research, it is well known that suicide rates differ, sometimes to a great extent, between countries, sexes, religious and ethnic populations. It has been suggested that in-depth exploration of social, cultural, contextual and historical perspectives on suicide is needed to explain this, and increase efficacy of prevention efforts. Sámi are the Indigenous people who traditionally live in northern parts of Norway, Sweden, Finland and north-western Russia (the Kola Peninsula). Generally, Sámi seem to enjoy good health along with the majority populations, at least in jurisdictions where some data is available (no Russian data is available). However, suicide is considered a major public health issue among Sámi, as it is globally. Sámi men have died more often by suicide than the majority populations in Nordic countries, ranging from 17% excess in Sweden (1961–2000), to 150% excess in Finland (1997–2005). An increased focus on the importance of reducing suicide among Sámi has led to creation of a ‘Plan for suicide prevention among Sámi in Norway, Sweden and Finland’ in 2017. However, research on this issue is still very limited and mainly includes cohort studies on suicide mortality and cross-sectional studies on suicidal behaviour. There are no studies that have evaluated suicide prevention programs among Sámi.

    The overarching aim of this thesis was to explore and elucidate how suicide is understood among Sámi and what specific actions have been taken to prevent suicide among Sámi in Nordic parts of Sápmi.

    The findings in studies I and II show that there are ways of investigating culture-specific understandings of suicide among Sámi, and that suicide among Sámi is currently understood to be linked to the difficulties of maintaining Sámi identities. As regards prevention, it is suggested that the dominant rationales for suicide prevention were addressing shortcomings on individual and relational levels, and raising awareness in the general public. This threatens to obscure more critical approaches such as broadening perspectives in prevention planning, improving health systems for Sámi, and promoting cultural empowerment among Sámi. To improve evaluation and identify most promising practices, increased support regarding development of plans and implementation for evaluation components is needed.
