Abstract
Abstract In this response to Rauna Kuokkanen’s (2022) critical reading of Henrikke Sæthre Ellingsen’s (2020) master’s thesis on wind power development in Norway, Ellingsen elaborates on what theoretical terms could have been used in the thesis to better elucidate a systematic pattern in Norwegian politics for the Saami population and illuminate the Fosen case to describe how the Norwegian government handles the knowledge provided by the Indigenous South Saami reindeer herders at Fosen when developing wind power in the latter’s essential winter pastures. The use of the term lack of knowledge helps make the Saami knowledge invisible, so instead, Ellingsen argues, several other theoretical perspectives can highlight the power asymmetry between the Saami community and the Norwegian government.
