International Conference on Indigenous Place Names

September 3-8, 2010 Sámi allaskuvla – Sámi University College,
Guovdageaidnu, Norway

Indigenous place names once filled the landscapes of pre-colonial societies around the world. People all over the world have been working to bring Indigenous place names back to the forefront noting their critical importance to strengthening the rights of Indigenous peoples, revitalizing languages, maintaining cultural identity, and educating communities about the ecological wisdom connected with the oral traditions of Indigenous
peoples.

Sámi University College, an Indigenous higher education institution in Sápmi (Sámiland) and host of the first International Conference on Indigenous Place Names (ICIPN) invites scholars from around the world currently working with Indigenous place names to join this first multidisciplinary conference. Abstract submission: March 15, 2010. For further information, please look at the webpage http://www.icipn2010.no
