A variety of economic strategies have been undertaken in the region. These have included marketing winter and Santa Claus for the tourism sector, developing cold-weather technologies, bioeconomy initiatives, and a vibrant high-technology sector, and promoting Sámi nature-based occupations. Collectively, these initiatives have created impressive developments in the region. While regional successes reveal much about Finland, they also hold considerable value for researchers and policy-makers in other areas of the Circumpolar North whose leaders, like those in Northern Finland, seek to overcome the challenges presented by their small populations, limited access to capital, distances from capital cities and metropolitan centres, and their long histories of resource dependency. This essay proposes that Northern Finland’s economic successes could offer ideas for other regions in the Circumpolar North. Résumé: Cet essai examine le développement économique et l’innovation commerciale dans le Nord de la Finlande, alors que ce pays et cette région cherchent à tirer parti des occasions et défis liés aux transitions économiques dans le Nord circumpolaire. Une variété de stratégies économiques ont été mises en place dans la région, incluant la promotion touristique de l’hiver et du Père Noël, le développement de technologies adaptées aux climats froids, des initiatives en bioéconomie, un secteur dynamique de haute technologie, ainsi que la valorisation des métiers Sámi liés à la nature. Ensemble, ces initiatives ont donné lieu à des développements remarquables dans la région. Si les réussites régionales en disent long sur la Finlande, ils revêtent également une grande importance pour les chercheurs et les décideurs politiques d’autres régions du Nord circumpolaire, dont les dirigeants, à l’instar de ceux du Nord de la Finlande, cherchent à surmonter les défis liés à la petite taille de leur population, à l’accès limité aux capitaux, aux grandes distances qui les séparent des capitales et des centres métropolitains, ainsi qu’à leur longue histoire de dépendance aux ressources. Cet essai propose que les réussites économiques du Nord de la Finlande pourraient inspirer d’autres régions du Nord circumpolaire.French translation, Sara Tahiri","PeriodicalId":308485,"journal":{"name":"The Northern Review","volume":"57 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-06-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://thenorthernreview.ca/index.php/nr/article/download/1179/1295","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147884017","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The Rangers operate in Canada’s three territories and the northern regions of many Canadian provinces. This article focuses on the nearly 2,000 Canadian Rangers (specifically those in the First Canadian Rangers Patrol Group, 1CRPG) living in 65 communities throughout the Canadian Territorial North. Most Rangers in 1CRPG are Indigenous. This article examines the tangible and intangible value the Rangers provide to the CAF and the Canadian government, particularly in supporting Canada’s security and sovereignty. It argues that the Rangers have existed for eighty years as a force multiplier for the CAF through their direct connections to the communities where they live, their intimate knowledge of the nearby land and waters, and their skills in surviving the harsh northern climate. The re-election of Donald Trump to the United States presidency and his isolationist and trade threats have caused Canadians to be more supportive of increased military spending. The security role of the Rangers within this higher level of military spending should be supportive of the CAF and focused on their skills and knowledge of northern conditions. This article concludes that the Canadian government can reinforce its sovereignty in the Territorial North and encourage sustainable northern economic development by supporting the Rangers in mobilizing northern people to continue building communities that are even more self-reliant and resilient. Résumé: Les Rangers canadiens constituent une sous-composante des Forces armées canadiennes, à temps partiel, non officier et basée sur la communauté. Les Rangers sont présents dans les trois territoires du Canada ainsi que dans les régions nordiques de plusieurs provinces canadiennes. Cet article se concentre sur les 2 000 Rangers canadiens — en particulier ceux du 1er Groupe de patrouilles des Rangers canadiens (1 GPRC) — vivant dans 65 communautés à travers le Nord territorial canadien. La majorité des Rangers du 1 GPRC sont autochtones. Cet article examine la valeur tangible et intangible que les Rangers apportent aux FAC et au gouvernement canadien, en particulier dans le soutien à la sécurité et à la souveraineté du pays. L’article soutient que, depuis plus de quatre-vingts ans, les Rangers agissent comme un multiplicateur de force pour les FAC grâce à leurs liens directs avec les communautés où ils résident, leur connaissance approfondie des terres et des eaux environnantes, ainsi que leur capacité à survivre dans le rude climat nordique. La réélection de Donald Trump à la présidence américaine et ses menaces isolationnistes et protectionnistes ont amené les Canadiens à soutenir davantage l’augmentation des dépenses militaires. Le rôle des Rangers en matière de sécurité, dans ce contexte de hausse des dépenses militaires, devrait soutenir les FAC en mettant l’accen","PeriodicalId":308485,"journal":{"name":"The Northern Review","volume":"57 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-06-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://thenorthernreview.ca/index.php/nr/article/download/1167/1291","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147902744","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In developing local clean energy production, there is an obvious bene ﬁ t for government and industry partnering with these communities. However, the record of these partnerships is poor, with some failing to produce the expected bene ﬁ ts and others failing to get off the ground at all. This article is based on a study of four case studies of renewable energy projects in Indigenous communities in northern Saskatchewan and Alberta, in which I interviewed community project leaders to understand why these communities were interested in energy projects, what they hoped to achieve, and their experience with their partners. I also interviewed government and industry partners. While the results underline the importance of Indigenous intermediaries who can move easily between the communities and the larger energy production context, they also reveal a fundamental misalignment of expectations between Indigenous communities and their partners. Recent discussions about the potential for small modular nuclear reactors (SMRs) in remote communities have generally focused on features of the technology rather than on aspects of the social context of Indigenous communities. I argue that, for communities to fully understand the advantages and drawbacks of this technology, much more attention needs to be paid to the construction of a safe space where communities can frame the discussion within Indigenous world views and lived experience. I offer some policy suggestions for how this space can be constructed and protected.","PeriodicalId":308485,"journal":{"name":"The Northern Review","volume":"201 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140722947","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
