Attend the meeting here
The gathering will primarily focus on Sámi related issues, but researchers focusing on other Indigenous issues are also welcome to send in an abstract.
Both the in-person gathering and the virtual gathering will be streamed and recorded so that people that are not able to come physically, can see the presentations.
The recordings will also be a part of NAISA’s official online conference program. Membership in NAISA is encouraged, but not required: https://naisa.org/.
The in-person gathering will be held at Nord University, Petter Dass’ Auditorium (A14) and Zoom.
The deadline for abstracts and final registration for attendance is May 15th.
Attendance is free of charge and is open for all. Registration for audience is not required.
