This was disappointing. With the recent interest in the Arctic I was looking forward to some enlightenment, but came away extremely disappointed. It is a very long list of issues with boilerplate text generously added. But no real news. Coverage stops in 2017 and let’s say there have been some changes since then. No mention of the spy infiltrations at the University of Tromsoe, or of the seismic shifts introduced by the current administration in Washington. No real depth to the discussions on resource extraction or any real insights into the depth of some of the challenges faced by resource rights. No mention of the DNA findings (of David Reich et al at Harvard) timing the arrival of the Sami in the arctic regions of Eurasia to 2-3000 years ago, which could invalidate their status as “indigenous”. I mean for sure they are local, but the timing might stretch definitions of indigenous. So at least for me this was a waste of time.
