The Association of World Reindeer Herders, in cooperation with the
International Centre for Reindeer Husbandry, announces the 4th World
Reindeer Herders Congress, to be held 30 March through 4 April 2009, in
Kautokeino, Norway. The Congress is a unique cultural and professional
event in that it brings together representatives of reindeer herding
peoples from around the circumpolar region.
The Congress will be attended by reindeer herders from around the globe,
and will feature workshops, seminars, sporting and cultural events, and
exhibitions. It will combine a number of events that will showcase both
the shared cultural richness of reindeer husbandry worldwide and also
the many challenges that face this traditional livelihood, with
increased interest in arctic resources and climate change. The Congress
is being arranged in the week preceding the Sami Film Festival and the
Sami Music Festival.
