Norwegian term

buer og stillinger

Norwegian to English Other Folklore Indigenous peoples\' grazing rights
"retten til å disponere grunn i utmark til nødvendige hytter og gammer for folk og *buer og stillinger* som trengs til oppbevaring av løsøre og matvarer etter reindriftsloven sikres."

Clearly it's in Finnmark about the Sami, but the "buer og stillinger" are a little too arcane for me.

Can anyone shed some light on this please?

TIA

Wonder if "stilling" here has any relation to the Sami 'nili' – a food storage hut raised above ground out of the reach of animals.

(hunting) huts and posts

en bu (i skogen) is a (hunting) shack or hut

en stilling is a (hunting) post

Reindriftsutøvere har «rett til» å disponere buer og stillinger for lagring av matvarer og utstyr som brukes i reinsdrift.

Reindeer keepers have the right to use Hunting shacks/huts and posts for storage of food and equipment used in reindeer husbandry.

Both refer to very simple structures used for shelter and storage in the woods in and around the areas where reindeer are found.
Example sentence:

Etter § 21 første ledd har reindriftsutøvere «rett til» å disponere grunn i utmark til oppføring av nødvendige hytter og gammer, det vil i praksis si gjeterhytter, samt buer og stillinger for lagring av matvarer og utstyr.

The Hunter\'s Post is a small wooden hut where the hunter and his trusty dog prepare the deer they have killed.

Peer comment(s):

agree Hans Wang : Very good answer. It is actually "jaktstilling" that is being referred to, not just "stilling" and the links do not exactly clarify this issue, but this link does: http://www.ninaniku.no/FORNMINNE/NomenRA.htm
