摘要

Three-dimensional modelling, compared to other forms of museological and archival digitisation, presents unique risks and opportunities for Sami communities to assert ownership over their material cultural heritage housed in Sápmi and abroad. How can Sami values and community needs proactively shape the development of novel technological applications? Challenging dominant colonial frameworks for the arrangement and production of knowledge, local concepts, and forms of possession can be implemented in emergent technological domains on the ground floor. Reviewing three-dimensional projects across Sápmi and focusing on the work of the Sámiid Vuorká-Dávvirat (The Sámi Museum in Karasjok) and RiddoDuottarMuseat consortium, this exploratory chapter discusses the Indigenous theoretical foundations, current uses, and anticipated futures for three-dimensional technologies in Sápmi. Grounding our theory in practice, we demonstrate how the Sami concepts that underpin three-dimensional programmes may be used to build connections between descendent communities and museum collections, draw attention to the absence of cultural heritage, and contribute to collective remembering and international relationship building.
