Last, but not least, I am grateful for the financial support of the Liu Institute for Global Affairs Bottom Billion Fund for helping support me in my time in Sapmi. Specifically I would like to thank Rune Fjellheim, director general of the Samediggi (Saami parliament) in Norway as well as multiple people at Sami allaskulva (Sami University College). I am also indebted to the people whom I spoke with, often multiple times on the phone and later in person, who were generous with their time, attention and encouragement in this work. A previous version of this article was presented at the Graduate Anthropology Conference in March 2010 as well as the workshop on Minority and Indigenous Rights in November 2010 where I received rich and pointed feedback as well as support. I would like to thank Professor Michael Byers and Professor Sheryl Lightfoot for their encouragement in this project, and the two anonymous reviewers from The International Journal for Human Rights their suggestions were quite insightful. This article has been continuously shared with various Saami and Inuit educators, advocates, politicians and policy makers, and I hope this makes a contribution to their work.
