Lubmen- ja mannenpráksisat Porsáŋggus -- mo mearrasámi guovllu olbmot dádjadit iežaset birrasiin. (Slovak)

Gathering cloudberries and eggs has been important for subsistence among Sámis in coastal and many other areas throughout the ages. People have sold cloudberries and used the money to buy food or other supplies for their households. This income is no longer as important today as before, but cloudberry picking is still a valued practice for many. The activities of cloudberry and egg gathering play an important role in preserving traditions and values. In this article, we ask how traditional knowledge and values are enacted in egg and cloudberry gathering practices in coastal Sámi areas in Porsanger in Norway. In addition, we ask how these practices guide people's actions on the land and on the islands when gathering eggs and berries. In order to answer our research questions, we have gathered information through interviews and through the authors' participation in the gathering of eggs and cloudberries. People pay attention to what is happening in their environment, and how it changes from year to year. Some of the changes are natural changes, such as those caused by wind, drought, or rain in bad years. Other changes are caused by failure or lack of management. When people are collecting eggs and cloudberries, their values and knowledge are made manifest, and at the same time they are engaged in monitoring and preserving their areas. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Luome- ja mannečoaggin Sámi mearraguovlluin lea leamaš áiggiid čađa dehálaš birgejupmi, nugo ollu eará sajiin ge. Olbmot leat maid vuovdán luopmániid, ja nu leat beassan oastit eará dárbbašlaš biepmuid ja biergasiid dállui. Dál ii leat ruđa dáfus šat seamma mearkkašupmi lubmemis, muhto lea dattetge máŋgasiidda árvvus adnojuvvon práksis mii bisuha árbevieruid ja árvvuid. Dán artihkkalis mii jearrat mo árbevirolaš máhtut ja árvvut bohtet ovdan manne- ja luomečoagginpráksisiin mearrasámi guovllus Porsáŋggus.
