Opening ceremoni with music by Kari Heimen

Master of ceremonies: Carola Kleemann 

More information

The opening ceremony will start with a luohti performance by Kari Heimen. Luohti (joik in Norwegian) is a traditional form of song in Sámi music performed by the Sámi people of Sapmi in Northern Europe. A performer of luohti is called a juoigi (Norwegian: joiker). As an art form, each luohti is meant to reflect or evoke a person, animal, or place. The sound of luohti is comparable to the traditional chanting of some Native American cultures. Luohti shares some features with the shamanistic cultures of Siberia, which mimic the sounds of nature.

Kari Heimen is the composer, drummer and lead singer in her band HEIMEN. She is also a solo artist performing yoik.

Kari is an assimilated Sami woman, who is regaining her Sami identity amongst other things in her music. HEIMEN’s latest album deals with the assimilation policy carried out by the Norwegian government against the Sami people.

1. Key note speaker: Barbara Rogoff

Identifying Cultural Strengths:  Sophisticated Collaboration in Native Families and Communities

Introduction by Marilyn Fleer

More Information
In this talk, Barbara Rogoff will examine research on strengths for learning in Indigenous American communities, and how they fit in a larger paradigm organizing child development and learning. She will focus on a sophisticated, fluid form of collaboration that seems to be especially prevalent in a number of Indigenous-heritage communities of the Americas.  Barbara has spent 4 decades involved in a Mayan community in Guatemala, studying child development and childrearing practices. (See her book written with a Mayan midwife, “Developing Destinies: A Mayan Midwife and Town.”)  She has also done research that underlines children’s and families’ strengths for learning with local scholars in several other Native communities. The opportunity to observe and participate in Native communities has prompted Barbara and her colleagues to describe a cultural way of learning that seems to be especially common in Indigenous communities of the Americas: Learning by Observing and Pitching In to family and community endeavors (LOPI; Rogoff, 2014; Rogoff, Mejía-Arauz, & Correa-Chávez, 2015).
Ylva Nutti, Sámi University of Applied Sciences, will facilitate.
