Hi, I'm forwarding this to Netbehaviour because, first, I love the information here, and second, it has so much to do with cooperation - the video on Kven Theater, the article on the borderlands. You might want to subscribe to this; it's always interesting and always a report from the rapidly changing conditions in the Arctic, which of course isn't that far away. Best, Alan

A weekly newsletter from High North News. Articles in English and Norwegian, please scroll to your preferred language. Is this email not displaying correctly?

(Photo: Arne O. Holm) * Welcome to the True Arctic *Dear High North News reader! Stories roll in to the High North Tour mobile office faster than we can bring them out to you again. The people of the Arctic have much on their hearts and are happy to share with the world. This is the week from the High North, with news from security politics, shipping, entrepreneurship, and strong stories to tell.* Little did we know that the response to our editor-in-chief’s journey through the High North would be received like this – a tremendous response! Arne O. Holm’s office on wheels is welcomed in every nook and cranny of Northern Norway, where he has parked so far, and he has more stories in store than we are able to bring out. The journey started off with a desire to bring out the diverse life in the Arctic, the one that defies the pandemic and narrow economic margins. And the Arctic responded with a resounding “Yes!” In this week’s Friday commentary, we are allowed a glimpse into the journey in these borderlands – quite literally: “The ferry no longer operates, and the country on the other side of the frozen river has changed its name. This is where East and West meet <https://highnorthnews.us3.list-manage.com/track/click?u=f32e79493cc20f2cefad3180d&id=afda9d0a03&e=cd5da5dbfd> .” *A journey among people* This week, the High North Tour tells stories about the Taste of North fish company in Hamarøy, the CEO of which shares his worries about the future <https://highnorthnews.us3.list-manage.com/track/click?u=f32e79493cc20f2cefad3180d&id=b92c199cfd&e=cd5da5dbfd> . You can also join us to a unique theater in Nordreisa, where theater history is written in a language hardly anyone speak – Kven <https://highnorthnews.us3.list-manage.com/track/click?u=f32e79493cc20f2cefad3180d&id=68cf788358&e=cd5da5dbfd> . Holm also sheds light on the darker aspects of history, such as the work taking place in the aftermath of the so-called Tysfjord Case. At Arran, a Lule-Sami Center, that process is still ongoing <https://highnorthnews.us3.list-manage.com/track/click?u=f32e79493cc20f2cefad3180d&id=6a0fbdea93&e=cd5da5dbfd> . And please – do not miss out on the film-based reports our editor-in-chief publishes on Facebook <https://highnorthnews.us3.list-manage.com/track/click?u=f32e79493cc20f2cefad3180d&id=277f504f6a&e=cd5da5dbfd> during his journey. *Restrictions and cooperation* This week, we have learned that new Russian restrictions place limitations on exchange programs, joint research with foreigners, conferences and scientific congresses, as well as the exchange of scientific literature <https://highnorthnews.us3.list-manage.com/track/click?u=f32e79493cc20f2cefad3180d&id=27d3811132&e=cd5da5dbfd> . It has also been announced that the Norwegian governments halts the sales of the Bergen Engines factory to TMH International <https://highnorthnews.us3.list-manage.com/track/click?u=f32e79493cc20f2cefad3180d&id=accb6115fb&e=cd5da5dbfd> in order to avoid potential threats to national security [Norwegian only]. The USA focuses on security policy cooperation and the US Army Alaska in particular welcomes knowledge about operating in the Arctic from the Norwegians <https://highnorthnews.us3.list-manage.com/track/click?u=f32e79493cc20f2cefad3180d&id=ebc1c69cf1&e=cd5da5dbfd> . We also present a new and interesting study highlighting the risk related to Arctic shipping. The study shows that some vessels have a higher risk of becoming stuck in the Arctic sea ice along the Northern Sea Route <https://highnorthnews.us3.list-manage.com/track/click?u=f32e79493cc20f2cefad3180d&id=216a7d6a75&e=cd5da5dbfd> in Russia. You will find all this and much more at High North News <https://highnorthnews.us3.list-manage.com/track/click?u=f32e79493cc20f2cefad3180d&id=c3a1499daf&e=cd5da5dbfd> ! This is our last newsletter before the Easter holidays, but we will be at work a few days early next week too, bringing you good stories from the people of the High North. *Have a great Easter and thank you for following!* Trine Jonassen, News Editor, High North News ------------------------------ *På Storslett i Nordreisa arbeider prosjektleder Inger Birkelund med å etablere et kvensk teater. (Foto: Arne O. Holm)* *Velkommen til det virkelige Arktis* *Kjære High North News-leser; historiene triller inn på The High North Tour sitt mobile kontor fortere enn de lar seg formidle ut. Folket i nord har mye på hjertet og deler gjerne med verden. Her er uka fra nord, med nyheter fra sikkerhetspolitikk, sjøfart, gründervirksomhet og sterke historier.* Lite visste vi at responsen på sjefredaktørens reise i Arktis skulle få en slik enorm respons. Det rullende kontoret til Arne O. Holm ønskes velkommen i alle kriker og kroker av Nord-Norge, hvor han så langt har parkert bobilen, og han sitter på flere historier enn han klarer å formidle. Reisen startet med et ønske om å løfte fram det rike livet i nord, som trosser pandemi og trange økonomiske kår. Og Arktis svarte med et rungende «Ja!». I ukas kommentar får vi et innblikk i reisen i grenseland – bokstavelig talt: – Ferga går ikke lenger, og landet på andre sida av den frosne elva har skiftet navn. Her møtes øst og vest <https://highnorthnews.us3.list-manage.com/track/click?u=f32e79493cc20f2cefad3180d&id=c78eb9e968&e=cd5da5dbfd> . *En reise blant folk* Denne uka deler The High North Tour historier om fiskeribedriften Taste of North i Hamarøy kommune, som deler bekymringer for framtiden <https://highnorthnews.us3.list-manage.com/track/click?u=f32e79493cc20f2cefad3180d&id=47f1b25590&e=cd5da5dbfd> . Du kan også bli med til et helt unikt teater i Nordreisa, hvor det skrives teaterhistorie på et språk de færreste snakker <https://highnorthnews.us3.list-manage.com/track/click?u=f32e79493cc20f2cefad3180d&id=591c975533&e=cd5da5dbfd>. Nemlig kvensk. Holm belyser også mørkere kroker at historien. Som etterarbeidet med overgrepssakene i Tysfjord. På Arran, et lulesamisk senter, jobbes det fortsatt med ettervirkningene <https://highnorthnews.us3.list-manage.com/track/click?u=f32e79493cc20f2cefad3180d&id=be21edf6a7&e=cd5da5dbfd> . I samme setning – og med en liten advarsel – anbefaler vi en vond og viktig kronikk fra musiker og spaltist Håvard Lund, som han har kalt «Minner i våt jord». <https://highnorthnews.us3.list-manage.com/track/click?u=f32e79493cc20f2cefad3180d&id=69949a37f7&e=cd5da5dbfd> I tillegg anbefaler jeg at du sjekker stemningsrapportene Holm publiserer på Facebook <https://highnorthnews.us3.list-manage.com/track/click?u=f32e79493cc20f2cefad3180d&id=a9c3f094e5&e=cd5da5dbfd> underveis. *Restriksjoner og samarbeid* Denne uka kom det fram at nye russiske restriksjoner setter begrensninger for utvekslingsprogrammer, felles forskning med utlendinger, konferanser og vitenskapelige kongresser, samt utveksling av vitenskapelig litteratur <https://highnorthnews.us3.list-manage.com/track/click?u=f32e79493cc20f2cefad3180d&id=119c2353a7&e=cd5da5dbfd> . Det er også klart at Regjeringen stopper salget av motorfabrikken Bergen Engines til TMH International for å sikre at nasjonale sikkerhetsinteresser ikke blir truet <https://highnorthnews.us3.list-manage.com/track/click?u=f32e79493cc20f2cefad3180d&id=a2f08f80a4&e=cd5da5dbfd> . Fra amerikansk side løftes sikkerhetspolitisk samarbeid opp, og spesielt ønsker den amerikanske hæren i Alaska, kunnskap om arktisk operasjoner fra norsk side <https://highnorthnews.us3.list-manage.com/track/click?u=f32e79493cc20f2cefad3180d&id=7e928fc65f&e=cd5da5dbfd> . Offiser i Sjøforsvaret, Silje Steffensen, skriver i High North News at det er en feiltolkning at norske politikere dilter etter amerikanerne. Den kronikken kan du lese her <https://highnorthnews.us3.list-manage.com/track/click?u=f32e79493cc20f2cefad3180d&id=038af736db&e=cd5da5dbfd> . Vi presenterer også en ny og interessant studie som belyser risikoen forbundet med arktisk skipsfart. Studien viser at enkelte fartøy har større sjanse for å bli sittende fast i havisen langs Russlands nordlige sjørute <https://highnorthnews.us3.list-manage.com/track/click?u=f32e79493cc20f2cefad3180d&id=9230270802&e=cd5da5dbfd> . Dette og mer finner du på High North News <https://highnorthnews.us3.list-manage.com/track/click?u=f32e79493cc20f2cefad3180d&id=6bb29299b9&e=cd5da5dbfd> ! Dette er det siste nyhetsbrevet før påske, men vi er på plass noen dager den stille uke også, med gode historier fra folket i nord. *God påske og takk for følget.* Vennlig hilsen Trine Jonassen Nyhetsredaktør, High North News follow on Twitter <https://highnorthnews.us3.list-manage.com/track/click?u=f32e79493cc20f2cefad3180d&id=244243c555&e=cd5da5dbfd> <https://highnorthnews.us3.list-manage.com/track/click?u=f32e79493cc20f2cefad3180d&id=7f114a815e&e=cd5da5dbfd> | <https://highnorthnews.us3.list-manage.com/track/click?u=f32e79493cc20f2cefad3180d&id=660788de19&e=cd5da5dbfd>friend on Facebook <https://highnorthnews.us3.list-manage.com/track/click?u=f32e79493cc20f2cefad3180d&id=afdedf5b34&e=cd5da5dbfd> <https://highnorthnews.us3.list-manage.com/track/click?u=f32e79493cc20f2cefad3180d&id=5f81b0f2cd&e=cd5da5dbfd>| forward to a friend <http://us3.forward-to-friend.com/forward?u=f32e79493cc20f2cefad3180d&id=2d99a1a3b8&e=cd5da5dbfd> *Copyright © 2021 High North News, All rights reserved.* E-mail: h...@nord.no <highnorthn...@nord.no> Website: www.highnorthnews.com <https://highnorthnews.us3.list-manage.com/track/click?u=f32e79493cc20f2cefad3180d&id=4a1cca0531&e=cd5da5dbfd> Want to change how you receive these emails?
