I'm heading off to San Francisco tomorrow for the Scandinavian Studies conference, where I'll present a paper on her: "My Nomad Year": From Tourist to Participant-Observer--Emilie Demant Hatt Among the Sami 1907-8.
Below is the schedule for readings from the book in the Puget Sound area. I'm especially looking forward to the launch May 21 at the Nordic Heritage Museum. If you live nearby, please join me in celebrating With the Lapps!

Hello Barbara
I just disvovered this blog looking for information on Karl Tirén. I lived and worked in Sapmi for a while and wrote music based on joik, among others one from Tiréns collection. I see you have just published a book of Demant Hatt. Is it Johan Turis book, or another one by Demant Hatt herself? My sami teacher spoke of her with reverence. I have Turis book here in sami, but havent yet had the courage to plunge into the challenge. It will take me some time to read. I have not been able to find it in danish, but then again, I have not tried very hard.
Greetings
Thorkil
Hi Thorkil,
That's great you are familiar with joiking and Sapmi.
With the Lapps is Emilie Demant Hatt's own book. Turi's book is available in Danish in Scandinavian libraries. Demant Hatt's book is in some Scandinavian libraries and also online.
You can read more about her and find some links at www.emiliedemanthatt.com
Hope you enjoy both books!
Barbara
