This book reinterprets the Finnish experiences in North America by connecting them to the transnational processes of settler colonial conquest, far-settlement, elimination of natives, and capture of terrestrial spaces. It places Finns as active participants in settler colonial histories, circulations of knowledge, and their ongoing legacies.

For generations of Indigenous peoples, national parks and other preserved spaces of nature have meant dispossession, treaty violations of hunting and fishing rights, and the loss of sacred places. Drawing on case studies from Scandinavia to Latin America and from North America to New Zealand, Bridging Cultural Concepts of Nature challenges the old paradigm where Indigenous peoples are not included in the conservation and protection of natural areas and instead calls for the incorporation of Indigenous voices into this debate.
