“…Indigenous institutions support culture by channeling funding from the state, but they also keep land rights on the agenda. Some researchers think that the lack of recognition of Sami land rights is an unresolved human rights problem in Finland (Bunikowski and Dillon, 2017). The problem is extremely complicated, given the size of mixed population and the long time that has passed from colonization.…”

There is a growing global interest in Arctic natural resources that have a strong influence on the local economies. The Arctic economy is a rather unique phenomenon encompassing Indigenous practices, local economic activities, and industrial development. Indigenous economies vary across the Arctic states and exhibit divergent economic mixtures. In globalizing societies and full market economies, traditional Indigenous economies are changing and perceived especially by the non-Indigenous to be a tribute to old customs rather than a way of life that is being followed by the young generation. However, certain groups of the contemporary Indigenous populations in the Arctic continue to preserve their culture and ensure the continuation of Indigenous ways of life. The development of Indigenous communities is closely linked to their economic well-being, on the one hand, and to their culture and traditions, on the other. Our article contributes to the discussion on the significance of Indigenous economies in providing sustainability in terms of Indigenous communities, their culture, and traditions. The research objective is to identify strategies and tools that sustain Indigenous economies as well as the goals of various stakeholders in encouraging and supporting the traditional economic activities of Indigenous peoples. We contrast three countries—Russia, Finland, and the United States (Alaska)—and discuss some governmental strategies that can be employed for preserving unique Indigenous economies. The research methods consist of a content analysis of state and regional legislation and strategies, social studies of stakeholders’ opinions, case studies describing market infrastructure, and economic activities as well as features of traditional lifestyles and Indigenous knowledge typical of these regions.

The Yoruba people have unwritten normative, proverb-driven traditional jurisprudence to resolve all emerging disputes. Regrettably, colonialism suddenly emerged to compel the Yoruba people to drop their restorative treatment of the primary justice stakeholders and replace it with the castigatory European justice paradigm. This chapter studies the inclusive character of the traditional justice system of the Yoruba of southwestern Nigeria. It collected secondary data from the internet and archival sources. Data analysis indicates that including the victims, offenders, and the community in conflict management enhances the Yoruba traditional conflict resolution skills. To creatively halt the miscarriage of justice in postcolonial Yorubaland, policymakers should transform the justice systems to ground solutions for disputes in local realities. Also, both justice systems should replace competition with cooptation and embrace a symbiotic restorative response to dispute resolution for the deepening of Yoruba jurisprudence.
