INVITASJON TIL
SEMINAR OM KONFLIKTLØSNING VED BRUK AV PEACEMAKING CIRCLE
I Kautokeino (LES-bygget), 8.-9. juni 2008
Indre Finnmark tingrett har over en tid arbeidet med planer om å prøve ut alternative former
for konfliktløsning. Høsten 2007 ble det gjennomført et seminar om Peacemaking Circles - da
spesielt med henblikk på Restorative Justice i straffesaksbehandlingen.
Bruk av Peacemaking Circles er imidlertid en konfliktløsningsform som også kan benyttes i
sivile tvister.
I Finnmark står man overfor forholdsvis omfattende prosesser med å klarlegge rettstilstanden,
særlig gjelder dette klarlegging av beiterettigheter inne reindrifta, landrettighetene og retten til
fiske i sjø. Det vises til reindriftslovens kapittel 7 (beiterettigheter), Finnmarkslovens kapittel
5 (kartlegging av rettigheter) og NOU 2008:5 (Retten til fiske i havet utenfor Finnmark). Det
er i forhold til disse prosesser fremhevet som ønskelig at partene kan finne frem til omforente
løsninger, blant annet ved bruk av megling eller tradisjonell konfliktløsning.
I samarbeid med Reindriftsforvaltningen inviteres det med dette til seminar om
konfliktløsning ved bruk av Peacemaking Circle i Kautokeino den 8.-9. juni 2008. Seminaret
vil bli gjennomført som en sirkel (Peacemaking Circle) under ledelse av brødrene Phillip og
Harold Gatensby fra Tlingit stammen i Yukon. Hensikten vil være å på denne måte få
kjennskap til de grunnleggende forutsetninger og verdier for å kunne gjennomføre slik
konfliktløsning. Dette kan gi grunnlag for å videreutvikle våre egne tradisjonelle og
institusjonaliserte konfliktløsningsmåter.

Concepts
The proposed training is based on a Holistic Value based approach. Many “alternate dispute resolution”
processes are beginning to be applied in the area of justice, education and social programs as a means of
resolving disputes. The approach that we take is to incorporate in both the process as well as the technique,
community and personal values, as the foundation to resolve disputes. When we examine the values from the
traditional models and stories, that we use, it leads us to look at a spiritual foundation that respects the many
different understandings of spirituality by different people. The circle is a good foundation to let the emotions of
individuals and communities become a part of the solution. We also touch on some of the conceptual models or
underlying principles to resolve these disputes.
The focus is on the healing of the individual based on the traditional model of bringing the individual into
balance (or healing) within the community in order to establish a foundation for the community to enhance its
healing journey. The holistic or value based approach uses justice in the circle process as healing while the
communities often see justice in a contemporary system as a process of punishment. It is important to note that
often issues that are dealt with in the court process remain unresolved issues in the communities that only have
to be dealt with when an offender returns to the community. This also applies to other formal systems operating
in our communities such as education and social programs.
It is important for the communities to be involved in a process that will directly affect them. It is also essential
that they establish a working relationship and partnership with the formal systems. Our experiences show that
when this partnership is established it forms a much stronger community.
The underlying concept involved in a traditional peace making circle is based on what is referred to as a
consensus approach while the contemporary systems tends to be based on adversarial approach. We cannot
advocate that one approach is better than the other is but that each one needs the other to be in place within the
community to be used as the community determines.
Topics to be covered
The content that we would encourage the group to cover within the workshop is as follows:
spirituality and the importance of spirituality in healing individuals and communities
values and importance of values in dealing with disputes especially within the communities, within the families
and also within the self
we will also discuss how to initiate a process that will begin to build community support and empowerment
how to use this process to build better working relationships between the different systems within the community
we suggest using scenarios that are meaningful to the community in mock circle's to gain a working knowledge
of how the circle process feels
the trainers will share the experiences that they've gained in their community based systems
the trainers will use storytelling and traditional methods throughout the workshop
GATHERING POWER
My name is Harold Gatensby. I live in a small Community called Carcross and am a man of Tlingit ancestry.
Tlingit is one of the Indigenous peoples from the Northwest coastal area. I was born and raised in a time of
unhealthy transition between two worlds. My Community was negatively impacted by being the location to one
of the many Indian residential/boarding schools. I have been working for over twenty-five years in the
peacemaking field. I have been recognized for my contribution many times. When asked what motivates me, I
must say it is from a feeling of gratitude and the absolute understanding that we desperately need to create a
healthy, more conscious world for the future of humanity. It is my understanding that we are all living examples
of what it is that we believe.
My brother Phillip, myself, and our families have dedicated our lives to helping to create a better world for the
future of all those coming behind us. Over the years we have developed a unique process that creates an
environment which promotes the healing of all aspects of a human being. This transformational process has
taken us throughout North America in order to accommodate the requests for assistance in many areas struggling
with life’s challenges. The success and effectiveness of this process has been spread virtually by word of mouth.
While not being advertised, this process has taken us to work with individuals, with families, with communities,
in prisons, churches, all levels of education, within street gangs, judges, police, ex-cons, Federal Justice
management teams, and many tribes of Native Americans etc.
We have developed a wilderness camp called Nares Mountain Wilderness Camp where we host trainings with
participants from all walks of life, all ages, and all races. We have been operating our family based camp for the
past sixteen years. Through the training at the camp we assist the participants in rediscovering the precious and
sacred connection to all of life and the responsibility of stewardship for the benefit of all.
