Russian Indigenous Peoples as Political Actors

 
An expert seminar was held in Moscow on 18 April 2008 to discuss indigenous peoples' opportunities for political action in Russia from different perspectives. The presentations in the seminar covered topics such as sustainable development, education and political participation. 40 people participated in the seminar representing indigenous peoples' groups and different levels of administration.

 

The material from the seminar has now been published on the Arctic Centre (University of Lapland) website at the following address: http://www.arcticcentre.org/?DeptID=28277.  The material is mostly in Russian but the summary of the presentations is in English.

 

The seminar was organized by senior researcher Tamara Semenova with the support from the INDIPO project, Finnish Academy, and research professor Monica Tennberg, Arctic Centre, University of Lapland. The INDIPO project (funded by Finnish Academy 2005-2007) studied indigenous peoples as political actors, the construction of their political agency, and the participation of indigenous peoples in international cooperation.
