DoomsdaysCW<p>Norway’s Treatment of Sámi Indigenous People Makes a Mockery of Its Progressive Image</p><p>By Martine Aamodt Hess </p><p>March 13, 2023</p><p>"On March 1, global media outlets reported that <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/GretaThunberg" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>GretaThunberg</span></a> had been arrested in <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Oslo" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Oslo</span></a> while protesting <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/WindTurbines" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>WindTurbines</span></a>. It wasn’t that the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ClimateActivist" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ClimateActivist</span></a> had suddenly taken a stand against renewable energy. Rather, she had joined forces with <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/activists" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>activists</span></a> standing up for <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/IndigenousPeople" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>IndigenousPeople</span></a> ’s plea to be able to continue practicing their culture in <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Fosen" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Fosen</span></a>, central <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Norway" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Norway</span></a>. For hundreds of years, this land has been home to <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ReindeerHerders" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ReindeerHerders</span></a> — an important tradition, which helps preserve the Sámi’s endangered language. Yet today, the siting in Fosen of wind turbines, which frighten the reindeer, puts its continuation in doubt.</p><p>"Some five hundred days ago, <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Norway" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Norway</span></a>’s supreme court ruled that the turbines are a violation of <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/IndigenousRights" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>IndigenousRights</span></a> under international conventions. Yet they are still running even now — and indeed, even after the ebbing of the short-lived news attention surrounding Thunberg’s role in the protest. Once again, the Norwegian government has proven that it remains indifferent to Sámi lives.</p><p>"'What’s happening in Norway doesn’t surprise me — [there’s] this double standard of working to protect <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/indigenous" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>indigenous</span></a> groups around the world and presenting itself as this <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/progressive" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>progressive</span></a> nation, yet not giving a shit about the indigenous people living within its own borders,' Elle Rávdná Näkkäläjärvi tells me. Between reindeer herding and her studies, the twenty-two-year-old is the leader of the Sámi Parliament’s youth committee and is a board member of the Norwegian Sámi Association youth group. During the recent eight days of protest in Oslo, she stood arm in arm with her Sámi sisters and brothers. “We are used to it but that doesn’t make it any less unjust. It’s about time Norway drops the mask. It’s about time the rest of the world sees Norway for what it really is,' she says.</p><p>"From the outside looking in, the Scandinavian country is often seen as a progressive social democracy. But — as Elle’s comments suggest — a story far less told is that of its <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/colonial" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>colonial</span></a> past, also striking at indigenous people in Norway itself."</p><p>Read more:<br><a href="https://jacobin.com/2023/03/norway-sami-indigenous-people-reindeer-herding-wind-turbines-dispossession-protest" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">jacobin.com/2023/03/norway-sam</span><span class="invisible">i-indigenous-people-reindeer-herding-wind-turbines-dispossession-protest</span></a></p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CulturalGenocide" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>CulturalGenocide</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Assimilation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Assimilation</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/IndigenousPeople" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>IndigenousPeople</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SamiPeople" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SamiPeople</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SamiResistance" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SamiResistance</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Colonialism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Colonialism</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/LandBack" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>LandBack</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/IndigenousResistance" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>IndigenousResistance</span></a></p>
