This article directs attention to one aspect of Saami pastoral discontent in Finnmark today. A general feature of the current situation is the way in which Norwegian legal and administrative codes and procedures overlay 'traditional' Saami understandings: hence the suggestion that the pastoral culture is now “at odds with itself”. The specific illustration is the way “reindeer theft” has become the label for a destructive force among pastoralists themselves and is taken by the state as further evidence of the need for its control over pastoral affairs. The thesis is that the pastoralists are fast losing the use of reindeer to mediate social relations within the framework of a distributive regulatory system. What today are all too likely perceived as — and sometimes are -"criminal”, “illegal” acts, were - aside from unadorned acts of theft - earlier intended and received as finely calibrated messages with moral and political implications. |
