AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
This study is divided into three major parts. Part I deals primarily with the Skolt economy, chiefly with reindeer management, but with a substantial amount of information on fishing and the exploitation of other subsidiary natural resources. This section also outlines the principal sources of money income for the Skolts as obtained from local employment, welfare, and migration (in the search for work outside the Saami area). Part II deals with the patterning of social relationships within the community. Following the general outline of the overall spatial layout of the community and its social correlates, Ingold analyzes the organization of the household from three perspectives -- its physical aspects in relation to the use of housing space, its developmental aspects in terms of domestic group composition, and its economic aspects as a unit of consumption. This part of the work also contains data on the special position of youth in the society, social relations within a typical neighborhood, and the position of the local elite in Sevettijärvi. Part III examines the relationship of the community as a resettled minority through its assembly and headman, with the bureaucracy and legislature of the state, with the machinery of party politics and with the pan-Saami minority movement (pp. 12-13).
