Sumario:Indigenous languages are endangered and questions of revitalization are topical in today's climate. This book deals with adult education and the topic of adults reclaiming their ancestral language. The themes addressed here cover Indigeneity, and identification with, and membership in, Indigenous groups on an individual level. The volume contemplates the preconditions of belonging to an Indigenous people and the definitions of Indigeneity. It also contains discussions of Indigenous research, and provides new perspectives on methods suitable for recording Indigenous people's voices and experiences. The text uses the Sámi people in Finland as the example, focusing on political identity and Indigenous Sámi status.
