Anthropological Places, Digital Spaces, and Imaginary Scapes: Packaging a Digital Sámiland

Abstract This article, which focuses on the Sámi, the indigenous people of Fenno-Scandinavia, investigates the production of place in digital environments. Place-making practices are approached through the study of expressive culture. This article also discusses the consequences of these practices for linguistic and cultural revitalization and for the articulation of Sámi identity.
