The biggest environmental disaster of our era, climate change, is causing rapid changes in the northern regions. My doctoral dissertation examines colonialist actions in the Sámi homeland in the crossfire of various business interests, as well as Sámi Indigenous people's environmental awareness and activity as protectors of the Northern nature. I aim to make assimilating social structures visible and to promote the realization of indigenous peoples' rights and the Sámi people's right to self-determination in Finland.
