Description
Summary:	In June of 2008, the American-Scandinavian Foundation and the National Museum of the American Indian presented a screening of selections originally shown at the 12th annual Sami Film Festival held in Norway. This marked the first time that a version of the festival, which features works by and about the indigenous peoples of Norway, Sweden, Finland, and Russia, was presented in New York. Three of the films shown—Last Yoik in Saami Forests?, Herdswoman, and Calmmis Calbmái (From an Eye to an Eye)—examined how Sámi communities draw on shared traditions as a productive resource for reimagining Sámi identity in a contemporary context.
