It recognizes that scientific excellence in the Arctic must emerge from relationships, where Indigenous laws, governance and knowledge systems shape research questions, methods and outcomes.Co-production is not a checklist or afterthought. It is a practice of being in relation, grounded in trust, reciprocity and long-term commitments to the well-being of Peoples and places. It honours and upholds mutual respect and responsibility in Actionable outcomes through all aspects of research.We begin with a vision.As Indigenous scholars, educators, knowledge keepers, and allied community members and academics, we are not simply responding to research frameworks and paradigms, we are reshaping and creating them.Guided by our respective self-determining practices, laws, languages, and ways of knowing, we assert that:• As part of their self-determination, Indigenous Peoples have the right to their own knowledge creation and participate in sharing and creating knowledge as they deem appropriate.• Indigenous Peoples are Rightsholders.• Indigenous governance in knowledge production is non-negotiable.• Data sovereignty and ethical research practices are essential.• Research must lead to tangible, community-directed outcomes.• Indigenous Knowledge systems must shape, not just inform, Arctic research.Indigenous Peoples have sovereign authority and inherent expertise to generate knowledge, fundamentally shaping epistemologies and research paradigms. Their knowledge systems are dynamic, authoritative, and central to understanding and addressing complex Arctic realities and building Arctic futures. Indigenous Knowledge is a powerful, legitimate and indispensable source of insight and innovation. Indigenous-led research is rooted in generations of wisdom that stems from a deep understanding of the Land.ICARP IV is a forum for scientific priorities, including a place where science and Indigenous Peoples meet, reclaim space and redefine knowledge. This report asserts that true co-production of knowledge at most research tables requires Indigenous leadership at every level—defining priorities, leading methodologies, owning data, and determining the outcomes. ICARP IV is a call to action: to reimagine Indigenous research inclusion as an act of humanity, Indigenous sovereignty and to ensure that knowledge co-production reflects the futures Indigenous people are building. Indigenous Peoples are continually pushed into systems that often do not align with our knowledge, responsibilities, or ways of being. We assert inherent authority within our systems of knowledge as knowledge holders and protectors while carrying responsibilities to safeguard, regenerate, and rearticulate our ways of knowing. We establish this through continuity and relational accountability to both our knowledge systems and Western knowledge.Successful implementation of ICARP IV’s recommendations will transform the Arctic research space in the following ways:1.  Strengthen and broaden dedicated funding for Indigenous-driven research.  Strengthened and expanded funding streams are set aside specifically for Indigenous-driven research, with Indigenous organizations, governments, and communities in the lead as applicants and decision-makers. These funds support projects where Arctic Indigenous Peoples define the questions, methods, partnerships, and timelines. For example, a regional Indigenous government could receive multi-year funding to run its own research office, hire community researchers, and commission studies on language revitalization, land use, climate adaptation, or youth well-being that respond directly to local priorities. Funding rules, reporting requirements, and evaluation criteria are redesigned so that community benefits, cultural safety, and knowledge sovereignty matter as much as academic publications.2.  Community-defined priorities at the center of Arctic research.  Arctic research prioritizes projects that clearly and directly address needs, concerns, and aspirations identified by Arctic communities, including moral, cultural, and ethical dimensions. This means that research proposals must show how they were developed with communities, how they respond to community-identified issues, and how the work will uphold local values and protocols. For example, a health study might be funded only if it emerges from a community-led process that identifies specific mental health concerns related to colonial trauma, and if the project’s methods are guided by Elders, local healers, and community ethics guidelines. Similarly, wildlife research might proceed only when it respects harvesting practices, sacred areas, and community decision-making, and includes clear plans for sharing results in local languages and formats that are meaningful and useful to the people most affected.3.  Bridging, Weaving, Creating Knowledge that is Deeply Co-Productive. Bridging, braiding, weaving, and creating deeply co-productive knowledge are everyday, expected practices in Arctic research. They are not just exceptions. For example, a sea-ice study might combine satellite data with Inupiat or Inuit ice terminology and travel stories, with Elders and hunters named as co-authors and co-leads, rather than “participants.” Researchers routinely plan projects so that Indigenous and Western knowledge systems are in genuine partnership from the start. For instance, monitoring programs may be designed in community workshops, where Indigenous Knowledge holders decide which indicators matter (like animal behavior or shorefast ice changes) alongside scientists’ measurements.4.  Critical research as healing (decolonizing) work.  Critical research activities inside the research system are used deliberately to challenge, change, and heal from colonial practices. For example, universities and research institutes may run regular internal reviews that examine who gets funding, who is cited, whose knowledge is valued, and then change their policies when they find bias. These activities might include ethics board reforms, mandatory anti-colonial training for reviewers, and audits of data ownership that lead to shifting control of data back to Indigenous organizations. In this way, “research about research” becomes a tool for accountability and repair, not just an academic exercise.5.  Decolonized research spaces.  Decolonizing research spaces allows Arctic Indigenous scholars and others to fully participate in research while staying rooted in their home communities and responsibilities. For example, an Indigenous PhD student might be able to join seminars online from their community, have fieldwork count as core research time, and schedule academic deadlines around hunting seasons or cultural obligations.Institutions adapt policies, funding, and infrastructure so that Indigenous scholars do not have to leave their language, land, or community relationships behind to succeed. This can look like community-based research hubs, flexible residency requirements, and hiring practices that recognize community leadership and land-based expertise as scholarly excellence.","ISBN":"978-9935-583-08-6","DOI":"10.33112/FRFO4646","NBN":"urn:nbn:se:uu:diva-583126","number-of-pages":"39","keyword":"Indigenous Peoples; Decolonizing Science and Education; Sámi; First Nation; Arctic","publisher":"The International Arctic Science Committee (IASC)","note":"","published":[{"raw":"2026-03-25T20:21:00.000+01:00"}],"created":[{"raw":"2026-03-25T20:21:09.092+01:00"}],"updated":[{"raw":"2026-04-10T10:45:37.016+02:00"}],"URL":"https://urn.kb.se/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:se:uu:diva-583126"},{"id":"diva2:2047641","type":"chapter","issued":{"date-parts":[[2026]]},"title":"Lule älv : samiska perspektiv på etnosvensk tekniknationalism och vattenkraftexploateringar","language":"swe","author":[{"family":"Öhman","given":"May-Britt","ORCID":"0000-0003-2820-0584","localId":"mayoh345","affiliation":[{"id":"877450","name":"Uppsala universitet, Centrum för mångvetenskaplig forskning om rasism (CFR)"}]}],"abstract":"Utifrån Lule älv som fallstudie, med samiska erfarenheter och perspektiv som utgångspunkt, belyser kapitlet vattenkraftutbyggnaden, dess förutsättningar och konsekvenser, samt även ifrågasättanden och kampen för hållbarhet och för samisk kultur, tradition och historia.

The exhibited work explores the complex layering of extractive cultures in the European Arctic and sub-Arctic environments, questioning whether the rhetoric of the “smart city” can genuinely deliver sustainability in the periphery of extractive economies –where deeply rooted development patterns continue to dominate. At the core of the project lies the tension between technologically advanced iron ore production in mining towns and the ancestral “intelligences” of Indigenous communities living in these regions (Sweden, Norway, Finland, and eastern Russia).The current model of Arctic urban development, driven by extractivism and masked by smart city ambitions, is reshaping territorial and social structures. In contrast, Indigenous knowledge, such as Sámi reindeer herding or traditional Arctic river fishing practices, offer alternative, rural, and dispersed approaches to sustainability that challenge centralized, industrial models and may hold new appeal for contemporary inhabitation. This evolution in extractive culture reveals how advanced digital systems are altering human interaction with land, generating both conflict and unexpected intersections. These transformations can be understood through the lens of assemblage, a dynamic juxtaposition of elements and systems that are often distant or seemingly incompatible: automation and ancestral knowledge, industrial infrastructures and fragile ecosystems, remote sensing and embodied traditions.","ISBN":"9789180489133","NBN":"urn:nbn:se:uu:diva-580944","page":"52-66","container-title":"Towards an Arctic Assemblage","keyword":"Indigenous Peoples; Decolonizing Science and Education; Sámi; Architecture; Dams; Mines","publisher-place":"Luleå","publisher":"Luleå University of Technology","note":"[ed] Tornieri, Stefano; Rizzo, Agatino","published":[{"raw":"2026-02-27T23:39:00.000+01:00"}],"created":[{"raw":"2026-02-27T23:39:17.113+01:00"}],"updated":[{"raw":"2026-03-03T15:39:18.805+01:00"}],"URL":"https://urn.kb.se/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:se:uu:diva-580944"},{"id":"diva2:2002032","type":"book","issued":{"date-parts":[[2025]]},"title":"SING Sábme 2025 Workshop Questioning “Green Energy” and its Impact on Indigenous Livelihoods in Sweden, August 11-15, 2025.","language":"eng","author":[{"family":"Öhman","given":"May-Britt","ORCID":"0000-0003-2820-0584","localId":"mayoh345","affiliation":[{"id":"877450","name":"Uppsala universitet, Centrum för mångvetenskaplig forskning om rasism (CFR)"},{"id":"1267","name":"Uppsala universitet, Teologiska institutionen"}]}],"contributor":[{"family":"Andersson","given":"Hampus","affiliation":[{"name":"Gällivare Forest Sami Village, Flakaberg group"}]},{"family":"Andersson","given":"Henrik"},{"family":"Eriksson","given":"Elle"},{"family":"Eriksson","given":"Michael"},{"family":"Eriksson","given":"Tina"},{"family":"Cardinal-McTeague","given":"Warren"},{"family":"Howlett","given":"Tracy"},{"family":"Helsdotter","given":"Eva Charlotta","ORCID":"0000-0001-9504-0723","localId":"evahe519","affiliation":[{"id":"877450","name":"Uppsala universitet, Centrum för mångvetenskaplig forskning om rasism (CFR)"},{"id":"1267","name":"Uppsala universitet, Teologiska institutionen"}]},{"family":"TallBear","given":"Kim","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Alberta, Faculty of Native Studies"}]}],"abstract":"SING Sábme 2025 WorkshopQuestioning “Green Energy” and its Impact on Indigenous Livelihoods in SwedenSING Sábme and the 2025 workshop is a collaboration between Uppsala University’s Centre for Multidisciplinary Studies on Racism (CEMFOR), the Faculty of Native Studies at the University of Alberta, the University of British Columbia’s Department of Forest and Conservation Sciences, and local Sámi community members and experts.

A key concern for local reindeer herders is the impact of wind and hydroelectric power development on reindeer habitat – a habitat already impacted by forestry and mining activities. Using methods developed by the SING program, we will coach youth in the region to think critically and engage creatively with scientific approaches in genomics and environmental monitoring so that they can help the Sámi community understand their territory in even greater detail.The 2025 workshop will provide hands-on, place-based education in Sámi cultural practices and practical and technical skill-building in environmental genomics approaches. It will be supplemented by learning sessions that introduce a critical and ethical framework for considering Indigenous science and educational approaches. Participants will be able to learn about and discuss genomics, ethics, feminist technoscience, water security, and colonization from Indigenous, feminist, and 2S/queer-inclusive perspectives.Funded by  ⴰⵔⵔⴰⵎⴰⵜ Ărramăt: Strengthening Health And Wellbeing Through Indigenous-Led Conservation and Sustainable Relationships With Biodiversity https://arramatproject.org/ (Government of Canada's New Frontiers in Research Fund (NFRF), [NFRFT-2020-00188]; Genome Canada; FORMAS, Vetenskapsrådet ","NBN":"urn:nbn:se:uu:diva-568189","keyword":"Sámi; Indigenous; Technoscience; Decolonizing Science;","published":[{"raw":"2025-09-29T14:11:49.943+02:00"}],"created":[{"raw":"2025-09-29T14:11:50.010+02:00"}],"updated":[{"raw":"2025-12-11T19:59:25.589+01:00"}],"URL":"https://urn.kb.se/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:se:uu:diva-568189"},{"id":"diva2:2020911","type":"paper-conference","issued":{"date-parts":[[2025]]},"title":"Working With (&amp; Within) Indigenous Communities to Decolonize Science and Science Education : Canada, Sábme and globally","language":"eng","author":[{"family":"Öhman","given":"May-Britt","ORCID":"0000-0003-2820-0584","localId":"mayoh345","affiliation":[{"id":"877450","name":"Uppsala universitet, Centrum för mångvetenskaplig forskning om rasism (CFR)"},{"id":"1267","name":"Uppsala universitet, Teologiska institutionen"}]},{"family":"TallBear","given":"Kim","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Alberta, Faculty of Native Studies"}]},{"family":"Cardinal-McTeague","given":"Warren"},{"family":"Nelson","given":"Elizabeth A.","affiliation":[{"name":"Southern Methodist University, Dedman College of Humanities and Sciences, Department of Anthropology"}]},{"family":"Helsdotter","given":"Eva Charlotta","ORCID":"0000-0001-9504-0723","localId":"evahe519","affiliation":[{"id":"877450","name":"Uppsala universitet, Centrum för mångvetenskaplig forskning om rasism (CFR)"}]},{"family":"Jayne","given":"Naomi"},{"family":"Marin","given":"Elias"},{"family":"Howlett","given":"Tracy","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Alberta, Faculty of Native Studies"}]}],"abstract":"This roundtable centers the resurgence of Indigenous-led scientific inquiry and research collaborations.We discuss our interdisciplinary research collaborations aimed at enhancing Indigenous leadership in science, presenting experiences from Canada and Sámi territories.

(Scandinavian traveler, April 2017)Over the last decades, due to active mobilization and agency, Indigenous peoples have received increased attention as sustainability-oriented entrepreneurs. Indigenous peoples are recognized as having land-based livelihood practices and unique cultural practices, and possess expertise and knowledge, commonly referred to as traditional knowledge, relevant to the management of lands and waters, nature conservation and environmental sustainability, and there is a growing scholarship within organization and management studies acknowledging Indigenous expertise (Love, 2020; Scheyvens et al, 2017; Reinert, 2006; Cutcher and Dale, 2022; Dana, 2015)Documented as a distinct people for two millennia, the Indigenous Sámi live across the Fennoscandian Peninsula in Northern Europe – crossing the borders of the colonial states of Norway, Sweden, Finland and Russi (Ojala, 2009, 83). For the Sámi people, knowledge, expertise and views on lands and waters, as well as relationships with non-humans are expressed in everyday life, through language passed on from generation to generation (Dana 2015; Magga, 2006; Jernsletten, 1997; Labba, 2015) and in contemporary policy documents, such as the Sámi Parliament Environmental program, adopted 2009 (Sametinget 2021).Reindeer husbandry is a central part of the Sami entrepreneurship, it is also one of several central traditional livelihoods, performed by over 24 Indigenous peoples in the Circumpolar North region (Mathiesen, 2023; Fjellström et al, 2020); providing food, being the basis for community organization, and a foundation for cultural and economic activities (Magga, 2006; Bastien et al 2022, Labba, 2015).Within Sweden, reindeer husbandry areas take place on around 50% of the Swedish territory. The reindeer husbandry is semi nomadic and depends on access to lands and waters, i.e. natural pastures, thereby radically different from agricultural husbandry, where the animals are fed (Dana 2015; Labba, 2015) The access to grazing lands, the transportation in between different grazing lands, and the relationship with the surrounding society all form part of the prerequisites and the conditions the possibilities to plan and organize reindeer husbandry as entrepreneurship (Dana 2015; Labba, 2015; Bjärstig et al, 2020).Sámi entrepreneurship including the reindeer husbandry has become increasingly disrupted with the establishment of the modern nation states from the 15th-17th century (Lantto, 2010; Ojala and Nordin, 2019), and even more so during the 20th century, continuing with the expansion of renewable energy projects, mining, and infrastructure (Skarin and Åhman, 2014; Össbo, 2022).Today there is a discrepancy between legislation and actual situation (Bjärstig et al, 2020). Sámi culture and entrepreneurship, as well as access to lands linked to reindeer husbandry has specific protection within Swedish legislation, starting with the first reindeer husbandry act in 1886 (Brännström and Allard, 2021).More recently, the Sámi have been acknowledged as a people within the Swedish Constituton and thereby having the right to preserve and develop their cultural and social life, (SFS 2011:109, Ch.1, Art 2.)Still,reindeer herders encounter difficulties in performing their entrepreneurship, which is the core issue of this study.To understand the problems faced by the Sámi entrepreneurs, it is necessary to analyze them in view of the legacies of settler colonialism (Wolfe, Cutcher, L., &amp; Dale, K. (2022). Össbo, 2022)We apply Framing theory, for revealing insights about collective frames and alignment of frames in the context of colonial legacies affecting indigenous entrepreneurship. (Wilson &amp; Brazendale, 1973; Snow &amp; Bedford, 1988; Snow et al. 1986). The framework enables us to explore prerequisites and hurdles in Sami reindeer husbandry entrepreneurship in a context of adherence to culture and collective actions (Pan &amp; McLeod, 1991; Entman, 1993; Kuyper &amp; Vlek, 2004, Cutlip, Center &amp; Broom, 1995).It may reveal insights about social relationships and acquisition of critical resources. The frame articulation concept allows linking events, experiences, and beliefs in the framing processes. (Snow &amp; Benford, 1988, 1992; Evans 1997; Gamson, 1995; Klandermans, 1984).As such, our inductive study, based on semi-structured interviews, social media, diaries, enabled us to identify diagnostic, prognostic and motivational framing, outlining paradoxes and future potentials of Sami entrepreneurship.This paper makes several important contributions. First, we contribute to the literature about prerequisites and hurdles/ hindrances for indigenous entrepreneurship, specifically Sámi entrepreneurship in reindeer husbandry. We contribute to the analysis of pressure in entrepreneurship and how these impacts on organizational practice in Sami entrepreneurship. In this the settler colonialism is part of the historical pressure impact Indigenous entrepreneurship, applying a perspective of framing theory. We outline a pressure cooker model to visualize the various obstacles reported by Sami entrepreneurs and how these impact on organizational practice.","NBN":"urn:nbn:se:uu:diva-564243","container-title":"EGOS, the European Group for Organisational Studies, annual meeting, 2023, July 6-8, Cagliari : Sub-theme 55: Organizing for Multiculturalism: Between Conflict and Inclusion","event":"39th EGOS Colloquium, the European Group for Organisational Studies, annual meeting, 2023, July 6-8, Cagliari. ","keyword":"Entrepreneurship; Sámi; Reindeer herding; Sweden","publisher":"European Group for Organisational Studies","published":[{"raw":"2025-07-31T01:40:10.315+02:00"}],"created":[{"raw":"2025-07-31T01:40:10.382+02:00"}],"updated":[{"raw":"2025-08-04T12:25:05.203+02:00"}],"URL":"https://urn.kb.se/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:se:uu:diva-564243"},{"id":"diva2:1966727","type":"book","issued":{"date-parts":[[2023]]},"title":"Tal vid Minnesdag 2023 – svensk samepolitik får inte glömmas eller gömmas","language":"swe","author":[{"family":"Öhman","given":"May-Britt","ORCID":"0000-0003-2820-0584","localId":"mayoh345","affiliation":[{"id":"877450","name":"Uppsala universitet, Centrum för mångvetenskaplig forskning om rasism (CFR)"},{"id":"1267","name":"Uppsala universitet, Teologiska institutionen"}]}],"abstract":" May-Britt Öhman tal vid Minnesdagen 2023 Öhman, M.-B.
