| Summary: | A variety of indigenous and non-indigenous concepts has been used for Sámi indigenous religion and religious practices. This article problematizes the use, meaning and applicability of some central North Sámi terms, as well as the concept of shamanism in academic writing and textbooks.

This article is a quest for a renewal of terminology and for the production of more in-depth studies of Sámi indigenous religion from an indigenous perspective. |
