Research and responses

Anne May Olli (director of RiddoDuottarMuseat), Johan Ashlak (Ailo) Hætta (head of the museum's branch in Kautokeino), and Anna Mossolova (MSCA postdoctoral fellow at Museum of Cultural History, University of Oslo) digitally reviewed some objects in the Pitt Rivers collection which may have been made by Lars Hætta during the time he was imprisoned in Oslo (1856–1867) for participation in the Kautokeino rebellion. Anne May and Ailo looked at this miniature cradle online and had doubts that it was made by Hætta.
