Using a literature review, this paper defines the knowledge status of smoked reindeer meat and investigates to what degree reindeer herders’ traditional knowledge has been included in scientific articles and grey literature. We developed a four-level categorisation of the degree of including traditional knowledge, from “non-participation” to “self-determination,” and three levels of focus. Very few scientific articles on smoked or smoking reindeer meat appeared in the review. Not only did reindeer peoples’ traditional meat smoking knowledge “went up in smoke”—both literally and metaphorically—but also incorrect conclusions were often drawn as a result of that exclusion. We argue that reindeer herders’ traditional knowledges and practices of smoking reindeer meat need examination and inclusion through co-production or self-determination methods across scientific disciplines.

烟消云散的知识：驯鹿牧民对熏驯鹿肉的文学传统知识

通过文献综述，本文定义了熏制驯鹿肉的知识状况，并调查了驯鹿牧民的传统知识在何种程度上被纳入科学文章和灰色文献。我们制定了包含传统知识的四级分类，从“不参与”到“自决”，以及三个关注度。评论中很少出现关于熏制或熏制驯鹿肉的科学文章。不仅驯鹿人的传统肉类吸烟知识“烟消云散”——无论是字面意思还是比喻——而且由于这种排斥，经常得出错误的结论。
