“As an indigenous (Sámi) professor of public health the Community Dimensions of Health and Well-being for indigenous people in the Arctic are very important to me and close to my heart. My ancestors lived a nomadic lifestyle in the northern part of Scandinavia for hundreds of years. They were predominantly reindeer herders and, several of my family member still continue this tradition today, on the biggest island in Norway, Hinnøya (Linnasuolu, North Sámi language).”

    CV

    In recent years I have worked on several youth psychosocial health and well-being project research project on behalf of the Sámi Parliament in Norway and written several research reports on behalf of the Norwegian government. In 2021 I was an appointed member of the commission that developed TryggEST Safeguarding of Vulnerable Adult in Norway. I represented Norway in the Fulbright Arctic Initiative, during 2021-23. As a Fulbright scholar I collaborated on violence pilot-study among Indigenous peoples in the Arctic, with the Kempe Center, University of Colorado, CO, US. and Dalla Lana School of Public Health, University of Toronto, CA. I have also been engaged in other international projects for Indigenous peoples in the Arctic, through the Lancet – The health and wellbeing for Indigenous adolescents: a global collective for an equitable and sustainable future, University of the Arctic – north2north, and University of Alberta, CA, and I have been a prior board member of the International Union for Circumpolar Health.

    As an Indigenous health researcher, I follow the motto "nothing for us, without us". In parallel to ongoing collaborations with the Sámi parliament and the Norwegian government in Norway (the Norwegian Directorate for Children, Youth and Family Affairs (Bufdir)). I also work as close as possible with Sámi youth organizations. These include the Noereh, NSR-U, SUPU, SANKS and the international Saami Council.

    During 2023 my main research tasks include producing Norwegian governmental/International Fulbright reports/policy brief and articles on the health and well-being of the Arctic Indigenous people, based on different studies, e.g. The Arctic Childhood Study and The Mihá-study, supported by UiT The Arctic University of Norway, Fulbright New York office, and the Public Health Agency of Norway. One aspect of the work is a project focusing on the racism experience by young Sámi reindeer herders in Norway, in collaboration with The Sami parliament and The Equality and Anti-Discrimination Ombud in Norway (LDO) (externally funded).

    Other on-going duties include being a substitute member of The Equality and Diversity Committee at UiT, and as commissioner in the "Lancet commission on The health and wellbeing for Indigenous adolescents: a global collective for an equitable and sustainable future " and the "Lancet commission on Arctic Health" (report will come in the end of 2023).
