Referat im Fachbereich Kulturwissenschaften der Universität Lüneburg, 1997

The text decribes the culture of the Sami in northern Scandinavia, Sápmi, formerly called Lapland. Culture, religion and economy throughout the centuries are described followed by the process of colonization up to the impacts of the Chernobyl catastrophe and the situation today.

Magisterarbeit im Fachbereich Kulturwissenschaften der Universität Lüneburg, 1999

The influences of shamans’ world views and techniques on ecology and their possible importance for the sustainable society. The text describes how the lack of satisfaction of psychic basic needs is partly responsible for the discrepancy between knowing of and acting on environmental problems.

Jokkmokk 1999

The Sami see themselves as part of nature in which all parts are equal. On the supernatural level, their shamans see the beings of nature, i. e. animals as well as whole eco-systems, as equal to mankind. They can communicate with them and even learn from them. Mythology confirms that the Sami learned their way of living, their culture, from the wild reindeer – not in the sense of trial and error, but through teaching via the supernatural level. Religious duties do not seem to be dominant in culture shaping.

As the supernatural level, as far as the communication with nature is concerned, is not to be considered as transcendent or part of religion, it is concluded that a sustainable way of living can be achieved just by observation and understanding. However, mythology also states that the Sami exploited resources in a dangerous way and thus took the risk of losing their old hunter culture simply because the wild reindeer would disappear. Be it as it may, the replacing herder culture was sustainable as well. Parts of the old shamanic concept of nature are still alive today.
