This collection explores contemporary cultural activity among Sami and Ainu communities through accounts of language, landscape, performance and everyday practice. Edited by Gerald Roche, Hiroshi Maruyama and Åsa Virdi Kroik, it brings together researchers and practitioners to examine how traditions are maintained, adapted and extended.
Contributions discuss language learning and digital tools, cultural landscapes, salmon rituals, film, choirs, dance and coffee culture. Personal accounts sit alongside analytical chapters, offering different perspectives on belonging, transmission and creative change. The editors use “efflorescence” to describe forms of cultural growth that reach beyond the recovery of earlier practices. Photographs, glossaries and notes on language support the comparative discussion.
