INVITATION TO THE SÁMI CULTURAL HERITAGE WEEK IN ROVANIEMI OCTOBER 27th
-31st, 2008

Dear friends,

We have the honour to invite You to the Sámi Cultural Heritage Week from
October 27th to October 31st, 2008. The events of the theme week will take
place in Rovaniemi, in the southern part of Finnish Sápmi.

Sámi Cultural Heritage Week will show, view, and challenge the Sámi
cultural heritage and its present situation in numerous ways. The week
will begin with an international Expert Seminar on the Protection of
Indigenous Cultural Heritage and continue with the 19th Sámi Conference
and the Theme seminar held in connection with it.

During the week, we will view both the best and the worst ways in which
the Sámi and other indigenous peoples protect, promote and pass down their
cultural heritage. We will look at the issue both from the perspective of
international and national legislation and people’s experiences at
grassroots level. There will also be many cultural events during the week,
and a more detailed programme will be available soon.

This historical event will be attended by the official Sámi delegations
but also by numerous Sámi families as well as various Sámi associations
and other groups which find the issues of the week interesting and
appealing. During the week, special emphasis will be on discussions, and,
indeed, we invite all the Sámi who are interested in promoting Sámi
culture to participate in the discussions and to present their visions of
our cultural heritage and its future.

Participation in the Sámi Cultural Heritage Week is free of charge and
includes the Expert Seminar, the 19th Sámi Conference and its Theme
Seminar. It also includes the seminar material, the coffee services at the
conference and admission to the cultural events of the week. You can
either register for the whole programme of the week or just part of it.
However, the lunches and dinners at the conference site are not free, and
you can buy them in advance in connection with registration. Through the
registration form, you can also reserve accommodation in Rovaniemi for a
special heritage-week price. Unfortunately, we will not be able to cover
your travelling and accommodation costs.

The deadline for registration is September 30th, 2008. You can register by
returning the enclosed registration form (by mail or fax) or by filling a
digital form on the Internet at www.ulapland.fi/saamiweekENG.

Registrations, accommodation reservations and inquiries concerning them
are taken care of by:
