How are traditional values transferred in different hunting cultures? UiT The Arctic University of Norway shines a spotlight on hunting activities and values in indigenous communities. This is in connection with this year’s guest people at Riddu Riđđu is an indigenous people from Taiwan. They will tell about Hunter School, which gathers youth from all of Taiwan to activities and excursions.
