Nils Jernsletten
Nils Johannes (Juho-Niillas) Jernsletten (14 September 1934; Tana, Norway – 20 May 2012) was a professor of Sámi at University of Tromsø, and editor of Sámi newspaper Ságat (1964-1966.) In 2005, he was made a Commander of the Royal Norwegian Order of St Olav was conferred upon him. His article, Joik and Communication, published in 1977, argues that joiking is a form of communication that is best understood as representing a particular milieu, which cannot be adequately communicated through recording or when performed on stage. This criticism, along with commercial factors, partially led to the end of the joik renaissance of the 1970s in Sami-populated areas in Scandinavia.

Professor
Professor (commonly abbreviated as Prof.) is an academic rank at universities and other post-secondary education and research institutions in most countries. Literally, ''professor'' derives from Latin as a "person who professes". Professors are usually experts in their field and teachers of the highest rank. In most systems of academic ranks, "professor" as an unqualified title refers only to the most senior academic position, sometimes informally known as "full professor". In some countries and institutions, the word "professor" is also used in titles of lower ranks such as associate professor and assistant professor; this is particularly the case in the United States, where the unqualified word is also used colloquially to refer to associate and assistant professors as well. This usage would be considered incorrect among other academic communities. However, the otherwise unqualified title "Professor" designated with a capital letter nearly always refers to a full professo ...

Royal Norwegian Order Of St Olav
The Royal Norwegian Order of Saint Olav ( no, Den Kongelige Norske Sankt Olavs Orden; or ''Sanct Olafs Orden'', the old Norwegian name) is a Norwegian order of chivalry instituted by King Oscar I on 21 August 1847. It is named after King Olav II, known to posterity as St. Olav. Just before the union with Sweden was dissolved in 1905, the Order of the Norwegian Lion was instituted in 1904 by King Oscar II, but no appointments were awarded by his successor, King Haakon VII. The Order of St. Olav thus became the kingdom's only order of chivalry for the next 80 years. The Grand Master of the order is the reigning monarch of Norway. It is used to reward individuals for remarkable accomplishments on behalf of the country and humanity. Since 1985, appointments to the order has only been conferred upon Norwegian citizens, though foreign heads of state and royalty may be appointed as a matter of courtesy. Grades and classes The reigning monarch of Norway is the order's Grand Master. Th ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Sami Church Council (Church Of Norway)
The Sami Church Council (n.sa. ''Sámi girkoráđđi'', l.sa. ''Sáme girkoráde'', s.sa. ''Saemien gærhkoeraerie'') is the organ of the Church of Norway responsible for Sámi church life. It answers to the General Synod of the Church of Norway. Background The history of the Sámi people is one of marginalisation and Norwegianization – the government policy of forced assimilation of the Sámi into Norwegian society. Christian missions among the Sámi people go back to the Middle Ages, but from 1700 the Protestant and pietistic mission among the Sámi, together with state colonialism, brought lasting changes to the Sámi society (as well as religion). From around 1850 a very rough assimilation policy held the Sámi people in a firm grip until 1980. This period may be referred to as the Dark Ages of the Sami people. This assimilation policy permeated the public officials, schools and the Church of Norway. In parts of Sápmi the Sámi culture and language was eradicated during ...

People From Tana, Norway
A person ( : people) is a being that has certain capacities or attributes such as reason, morality, consciousness or self-consciousness, and being a part of a culturally established form of social relations such as kinship, ownership of property, or legal responsibility. The defining features of personhood and, consequently, what makes a person count as a person, differ widely among cultures and contexts. In addition to the question of personhood, of what makes a being count as a person to begin with, there are further questions about personal identity and self: both about what makes any particular person that particular person instead of another, and about what makes a person at one time the same person as they were or will be at another time despite any intervening changes. The plural form "people" is often used to refer to an entire nation or ethnic group (as in "a people"), and this was the original meaning of the word; it subsequently acquired its use as a plural form of ...
