The Talvivaara Mine : Water consequences
- 2019
-
Annan publikation (populärvet., debatt m.m.)abstract
- A film about the Talvivaara mine in Sotkamo, Finland. Produced within the research project Dálkke: Indigenous Climate Change Studies."Don't be afraid, we come in peace and offer jobs!" The mine was not going to have any harmful effects on the surrounding areas according to the CEO. However, this soon turned out to be false. The impacts of the mine in terms of pollution of water courses and lakes is enormous. Both due to a failure of the tailing dam, and also of the constantly ongoing pollution.This is a filmpresentation of a research project, within the Dálkke: Indigenous Climate Change Studies, FORMAS Dnr 2017-01923, led by Dr May-Britt Öhman, Uppsala University, within the Swedish National research programme on climate.Please reference as: Helsdotter, Eva Charlotta; Öhman, May-Britt, and Storlöpare, Petri, 2019.

Ungreen windpower : Sámi Indigenous and scientific perspectives on fossil dependent and environmentally destructive designs
- 2021
-
Annan publikation (film/video) (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Title: Ungreen windpower: Sámi Indigenous and scientific perspectives on fossil dependent and environmentally destructive designsContent:This film is produced by Dálkke, a research project and research group at Uppsala University, within the Swedish National Research Programme on Climate, the Swedish research council FORMAS.In the film, Henrik Andersson, reindeer herder within Gällivare Forest Sámi village, Norrbotten County, Sweden, speaks about the environmental destruction caused by the Swedish state, through forestry practices by the Swedish state owned forest company Sveaskog, as well as the planned wind energy industrial area by the Swedish state power company Vattenfall. Associate Professor Eva Charlotta Helsdotter, Uppsala University, tells about how the analysis of windpower is not taking into account all relevant aspects in terms of fossil dependency and environmental consequences. A large part of what is needed to establish, maintain, as well as decommission windpower is never taken into account within the so called LCA analyses. This is what makes it possible to – falsely – claim that windpower is green. However, the windpower designs of today cannot be considered green, nor fossil free.The area in question is one out of two project areas for windpower within Gällivare Forest Sámi village - “Storlandet”, which is the ancestral grounds of Henrik Andersson’s family. Work is currently ongoing with an environmental impact study, planned to be ready for submission in 2022. The other wind power industry area that is planned within the area for the Gällivare Forest Sámi Village is Hällberget, conducted by a private power company Vasavind. In early 2021 it received permission to go ahead with a smaller part of its project. The Hällberget project is currently (August 2021) in court process. The Swedish state, the European Union (EU), as well as actors within the energy market, environmental organizations and climate activists all insist in the promotion of windpower as “green”, fossil free and thereby environmentally friendly. A large part of these constructions are planned for in Sámi territories, on land that has been taken from Sámi during late 19th and early 20th century. Furthermore, the wind power industrial areas have major negative impacts for the local environment. Forests are clear cut and replaced with 100 – 300 meters high steel constructions, on massive foundations made of concrete. Construction and maintenance demands new mines, car and truck access roads and thereby new stone quarries causing major wounds in the landscape.These industrial areas have major negative consequence for the local environment, fresh water, nature, wild life, local inhabitants as well as reindeer herding. This film is part of a supradisciplinary research and documentary project on (un)sustainable power production, researching and documenting the subject matter from Indigenous Sámi reindeer herding point of view, along with analyses of the whole windpower industry. Henrik Andersson, Gällivare Forest Sámi Village, who works to protect - through research and challenging decision makers - the reindeer and other animals from a destructive power production mode along with the Sámi traditional culture in the area is at the front. The Sámi reindeer herding culture is documented to having lived and prospered here since at least two millennia. What can EU, Sweden and EU member countries learn from the knowledges and understandings of the Sámi reindeer herders? What is needed to make their voices heard and turned into policy making in Sweden and in the EU? Filmed from September 2020, to August 2021. Sequences from the film “The Last Generation?” Storlöpare 2016 – reindeer feeding - and by the fire.The film is part of the research project: ”Safe and Sustainable Energy Futures in Sápmi” FORMAS dnr 2016-01039, and two projects within the Swedish National Programme on Climate: ”Dálkke: Indigenous climate change studies” FORMAS dnr 2017-01923 and ”Living without oil?! Rethinking relations with lands and waters with Indigenous Land Based Expertise for a transition towards a fossil free welfare society” FORMAS Dnr 2019-01975.

When the climate apocalypse comes I’ll make it : 16 yr old Hampus' survival month in the forest

Annan publikation (film/video) (populärvet., debatt m.m.)abstract
- When the climate apocalypse comes I’ll make it: 16 year old Hampus Andersson’s survival month living off the lands and waters in the forests of Norrbotten, Sweden. There is a lot of talk of crisis and apocalypse, due to war, to climate change. Young people worried about their future go on school strike and manifest, around the world. But, when the climate or any other crisis happens, how are these young (and adult) protesters prepared to fend for themselves? How long can you survive without electricity and water in the tap, with access to food in the supermarket? Thinking about all of this, 16 year old Hampus Andersson decided to try to live off the lands and waters for a full month, on his own. If there is such a crisis, would he make it on his own? From mid July to mid August 2019, the experiment went on. He made sure to learn from more experienced and older reindeer herders and others with experience from the forests. Hampus is not completely unaware on how to get access to food in the forest. His father is a Sámi reindeer herder, and his mother’s family are an agriculture family. But until this day he had never done such an experiment. How would he find food, water, shelter? What would be the hardest? Some things that he had never even thought about turned out to be harder than expected. During the stay Hampus documented his everyday life with photos and short films, and posted on his Facebook page and Instagram. This is a film made from those photos and videos, along with an interview by film maker Petri Storlöpare, Slowfilm AB. Hampus speaks of his experiences, thoughts and ideas on how to continue this experiment. Will he try the same in the Arctic winter, with temperatures down to minus 40 Celsius? The film project is supported by Dálkke: Indigenous Climate Change Studies, led by Dr. May-Britt Öhman, Centre for Multidisciplinary Studies on Racism, CEMFOR, Uppsala University.

”Jag vill högt och ljudligt tala om tystnaden” : JORINDAS RESA, stormarna och vägarna vidare
- 2017
-
Ingår i: Uppsala mitt i Sápmi – Sábme – Saepmie II. - Uppsala : Uppsam - föreningen för samiskrelaterad forskning i Uppsala. - 9789188559289 ; , s. 89-98

Bokkapitel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Jorindas resa (2014) är en ömsint film om en ung kvinna, precis på gränsen mellan barn och vuxen. Filmenutspelar sig i ett magnifikt landskap med höga fjäll. Under sin resa möter Jorinda på motstånd i form av ensnöstorm och hon fryser nästan ihjäl. Men den verkliga fienden är inom Jorinda själv. Hon måste hitta sinegen inre styrka. Vid seminariet HUKSO! (som betyder omsorg, omtanke på lulesamiska) som hölls i direktanslutning till Uppsams vårsymposium 2014, visades Jorindas resa i Uppsala för första gången. Denna artikelbeskriver just Jorindas resa, om hur den kom till, och om de stormar som filmen och jag gått igenom och fortsätter att gå igenom samt mitt vidare arbete på temat om det som ständigt tystas ner, men som jag vill tala om, högt och ljudligt.Citatet i titeln för artikeln kommer från mitt pågående filmprojekt, Tystnaden i Sápmi, som är en dokumentär fortsättning på arbetet med fiktionen Jorindas Resa där frågeställningen vad ligger bakom det som tystas ned – våld, självmord och psykisk ohälsa hos unga i Sápmi är i fokus tillsammans med frågan om vad som kan göras för att åstadkomma förändring.Wajstedts deltagande vid HUKSO samt en del av arbetet med artikeln har finansierats av forskningsprojektet Älvar, motstånd, resiliens: Hållbara framtider i Sápmi, under ledning av May-Britt Öhman, FORMAS, 2012–2015.

Bokkapitel (populärvet., debatt m.m.)abstract
- Malmen, skogen och vattenkraften, i de nordliga samiska territorierna, (och numera de nordligaste delarna av Sverige) har under lång tid varit förutsättningen för den vällevnad och ohållbara livsstil som många människor, kanske även du, upprätthåller idag.Titelfrågan – om vem du är – på (lule)samiska, svenska och meänkieli, handlar om just detta. Minns du dina förmödrar och förfäder, och vilken del de har haft i denna historia? Vilken roll, som bygger på det som hänt, är, i nutiden, din? Låt oss bryta ner detta i lite mindre delar. Vi börjar med en fråga om glädje: Vad får dig att känna glädje och är den känslan kopplad till något slags konsumtion? Hur lever du? I vilken slags byggnad, varifrån kommer vattnet du dricker, vart tar maten du processat genom din kropp vägen? Hur färdas du dagligen? Är du fastboende och under svenska statens kontroll eller förflyttar du dig fritt som du vill? Och hur hänger detta ihop med den kultur du lever i? Har du funderat något på vad svensk kultur egentligen är? Hur svensk kultur formuleras i ord, bild, berättelser, i historien du fått lära dig, eller kanske den historia du inte fått lära dig?Jag vill ta dig med på en perspektivvändarresa. Där du, som den du är idag, får vrida och vända på dig för att minnas – och därmed förstå vem du är, vem du blivit, beroende på vad dina föregångare gjort och sagt.Sverige har inte alltid varit. Sverige – Svea rike – som modern kolonialstat skapades på 1500-talet. Fram till dess var samer inflytelserika och mäktiga. Parallellt med de europeiska kolonisationsprocesserna runtom i världen blev även Sverige en stark kolonialstat, ett imperie, grundat på just kolonisationen av de samiska territorierna.

Bokkapitel (populärvet., debatt m.m.)abstract
- The ore, the forest and the hydropower of the northern Sami territories (nowadays the northernmost part of Sweden) have for a long time been essential to the unsustainable life of luxury that many people, perhaps even you, lead today.The question in the title – asking who you are in Lule Sami, Swedish and Meänkieli – is about exactly this. Do you remember your foremothers and forefathers, what part they played in this history? Which role, based on all that has happened, is now yours? Let’s break it down into smaller parts. And begin with a question about joy: What makes you feel joy, and is that feeling connected to some kind of consumerism? How do you live? In what kind of building? Where does the water that you drink come from, where does the food processed by your body end up? What is your daily mode of transport? Are you a permanent resident under the control of the Swedish State or do you move freely as you wish? How does all of this connect with the culture you live in? Have you ever considered what Swedish culture really is? And how Swedish culture is being defined through words, images, and stories, through the history you were told, or perhaps through the history you were not told?I want to invite you along on a voyage of reversed perspectives. During which you, as you are today, have to contort yourself to remember – in order to understand who you are, who you have become, and how this depends on what your predecessors did and said. ‘Sweden’ has not always been. Modern Sweden – that is the Kingdom of Sweden – was established as a colonial nation state in the 16th century. Up until then the Sámi were influential and powerful. But, concurrently with other European colonisation processes taking place across the world, Sweden also became an assertive colonial state; an empire founded on the colonisation of the Sámi territories.

- 2021
-
Annan publikation (film/video) (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- In this documentary filmed in September 2020, Henrik Andersson, reindeer herder within Gällivare Forest Sámi village speaks about the environmental destruction caused by the Swedish state, through forestry practices by the state owned forest company Sveaskog, as well as the planned wind energy industrial area by the state power company Vattenfall. He also shows what a healthy forest should look like. The area discussed is one out of two project areas for windpower within Gällivare Forest Sámi village - “Storlandet”, which is the ancestral grounds of his family. Work is currently ongoing with an environmental impact study, planned to be ready for submission in 2022.
