    Self-determination and Indigenous Women - “Whose Voice Is It We Hear in the Sámi Parliament?”
    in International Journal on Minority and Groups Rights , Volume 18, Number 1 ,  2011 ,  39-62
    The Sámi self-determination discourse has always been state-centric in its tendency to invoke the central role of the Nordic states in shaping national policies and legislation on Sámi rights. This article examines the meaning of Sámi self-determination from the perspective of Sámi women: how do Sámi women understand the concept, how do they evaluate the current efforts to implement self-determination by Sámi political institutions and what kind of forms their socio-political participation takes in contemporary Sámi society? It argues that Sámi self-determination is often understood in relational terms as discussed by Iris Marion Young.
