Summary
Indigenous-led reconfigurations of power in northern protected areas challenge traditional conservation models. This study reveals how Samis and Cree peoples in Sápmi (Sweden) and Eeyou Istchee (Quebec, Canada) are reshaping governance structures within UNESCO-recognized Laponia and the proposed Assinica National Park. Through comparative analysis of two case studies, it exposes the hidden dynamics of decolonization processes, where Indigenous values increasingly influence environmental management despite persistent colonial legacies. The research employs critical discourse analysis to uncover power shifts in co-management frameworks, offering insights into emerging governance models that prioritize Indigenous knowledge and territorial sovereignty.
