Projektet är placerat vid Uppsala Universitet, CEMFOR, Centrum för mångvetenskaplig forskning om rasism, i samarbete med Luleå Tekniska Universitet och University of Brighton, UK genom forskningsprojektet Traces of Nitrate (www.tracesofnitrate.org), Ájtte fjäll- och samemuseum (Nationellt museum för samisk kultur och historia), Hasselbladsstiftelsen, HDK-Valand (Göteborgs universitet) och Zeppelin Museum, Tyskland. Projektet leds av Dr. Ignacio Acosta,(http://ignacioacosta.com), tillsammans med Liz-Marie Nilsen, samisk journalist, Dr. May-Britt Öhman och renskötare Gun Aira, i nära samarbete med det samiska och icke-samiska lokalsamhället. Dr. Acosta är en internationellt etablerad forskare samt film och foto konstnär med lång erfarenhet av arbete i Sábme/Sápmi.Projektet förenar en rad olika discipliner; Konstnärlig forskning, visuell dokumentation, teknikhistoria, feministisk teknikvetenskap, genusforskning, urfolksmetodologi och traditionell samisk kunskap.Sommaren 2018 drabbades renbetesmarker i Sverige av omfattande bränder. Enligt Sametingets ansökan om katastrofstöd, baserad på bränderna och den extrema torkan, handlade det om 21 500 hektar renbetesmarker som försvunnit. Renskötseln är idag hårt trängd av exploateringar, skogsavverkning och försvårande väderförhållanden till följd av klimatförändringar. Avskurna och minskade betesland och instabila väderförhållanden, som gör att renens bete låses under is, tvingar renskötare att till mycket stora ekonomiska kostnader utfodra renarna. Klimatförändringar antas fortsatt medföra så kallat extremväder, där torka och bränder är en av konsekvenserna, något som kommer att ha stor inverkan på framtiden för samiskt och andra urfolks liv och näringar. Urfolk/Samer och lokalbefolkning har historisk använt sig av kontrollerade bränder som en del av landförvaltning och bekämpning av skogsbränder. Traditionella kunskap som idag efterfrågas men där mer omfattande dokumentation saknas.Projektet utgår från tre skogar i renbetesområde, Norrbottens län samtliga drabbade av torka och bränder 2018. Genom att kombinera filmade intervjuer, drönar-bilder, 3D kartor, foton, videoklipp, ljud, text och work-shops som verktyg för forskning, kommunikation och spridning av materialet, analyseras och diskuteras extremvärme, torka och skogsbränder genom att följa två huvudspår;identifiera samisk/urfolks traditionell kunskap och expertis ifråga om att leva beroende av växlande klimat och väderförhållanden och de anpassningar detta kräver. Samisk/urfolks möjlighet att påverka beslut som rör deras frågor.identifiera samiska erfarenheter av egen förvaltning av land i förhållande till brandbekämpning, torka och andra aspekter och erfarenheter av klimatförändringar.Frågeställningar som berörs är:Vilka urfolks-/samiska kunskaper finns det ifråga om skogsbränder, hetta, torka och klimatförändringars effekter och extremväders konsekvenser?Hur kan konstnärlig forskning och visuell dokumentation med en kritisk utgångpunkt, utvecklad genom samarbete med samisk och annan urfolksexpertis, tillsammans med andra akademiska kompetenser användas för att dokumentera, analysera, diskutera och skapa en arena för att synliggöra och lyfta fram urfolks-/samisk kunskap för nationalstater och som ett bidrag till debatten kring klimatförändringar?Utgångspunkten är samisk och annan urfolks expertis i och konstnärlig audiovisuell kommunikation har en framträdande del i projektet. Projektet bygger på tidigare och pågående forskningssamarbeten. Acosta, Nilsen och Öhman har uppmärksammade och framgångsrika erfarenheter av supradisciplinära, inkluderande och tvärvetenskapliga samarbeten sedan tidigare.

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":"diva2:2022422","type":"speech","issued":{"date-parts":[[2025]]},"title":"De Mars à Venus","language":"eng","author":[{"family":"Acosta","given":"Ignacio","ORCID":"0000-0002-0479-443X","localId":"ignac659","affiliation":[{"id":"877450","name":"Uppsala universitet, Centrum för mångvetenskaplig forskning om rasism (CFR)"}]}],"abstract":"Le séminaire Pensée extractiviste, pensée écosophique.

The expansion of mining projects in these regions, already affected by anthropogenic climate change, has led to a rise in social, environmental, and economic injustices. Faced with the sustained violence that mining exerts on bodies and ecosystems, this presentation brings these distant regions into dialogue with each other through their diverse strategies of resistance, highlighting the determination of Indigenous and local people to maintain their knowledge, traditions, and ways of life in increasingly fragmented territories. Rooted in an animistic belief that inanimate objects and places possess souls and agency, Acosta’s work envisions these distant territories rich in minerals and wisdom as connected bodies of knowledge.
