Fall Learning Series: Part 2
Sámi Historian, Anna Andersen, shares her story of decolonization

This Fall, I am hosting two special talks with indigenous women from Greenland and Norway. Second interview is with a Sámi Historian and Researcher from Tromsø, Norway. I met Dr. Anna Andersen during my recent trip to Nuuk. Anna is a Sámi historian and Postdoctoral Fellow at UiT The Arctic University of Norway. She holds PhD in History and MA degree in Indigenous studies from the same university.Anna is a Sámi historian with her roots from a Sámi family that was relocated from the area of Arsjogk in Northeastern part of the Kola Peninsula, Eastern Sápmi. She conducted research in the Sámi communities on the forced resettlements of her people from their traditional territories. Later, she studied experiences of several generations of the Kola Sámi people who resided at the boarding schools.Prior to that Anna has been an Indigenous Peoples Adviser at the International Barents Secretariat in Kirkenes, Norway. Currently she works with her postdoctoral research, an international study on relocations of the Sámi and the Greenlandic people in the 1950’s and the 1960’s. Anna works with traditional indigenous storytelling about closed indigenous villages, and how resettlement has been experienced in Greenland and Sápmi. She will share her story of Decolonization. We are extremely lucky to be in sacred space with this beautiful person. Please consider coming to hear Anna&#x27;s journey as an indigenous scholar!Blessings, Helena
