      >Sápmi is the communal land of the Indigenous Sami people. Their land ranges through northern parts of Norway, Sweden, Finland and Russia.

      >It is important to resist “for myself and for my children and everyone who comes after us who wants to live the life that I have lived”.

      >**Over hundreds of years Sweden has seized land and resources in Sápmi.**

      >**Meanwhile, land disappears due to industrial expansion.**

      >Information about where mining takes place and who is living close to its negative impacts are often left out of campaigns like these. Meanwhile, Stockholm, where the poster campaign is taking place, is unaffected by the negative impact of mining.

      tough?

      The mining products are quite useful for people’s way of life

    3. hagenissen666 on

      To be fair, sami people will extract whatever compensation they can get, they don’t care about tradition.

      Is reindeer husbandry a profitable ‘way of live’ or is it something kept alive by EU agricultural subsidies?

      I mean I’m not against it, but if people want to keep their reindeer, pickups and snowmobiles for future generations then someone else has to pay the taxes that will cover the costs for a romanticized herding business.

      Wow. Getting a ringside seat about why the Sami don’t like Swedes. Very understandable.

    8. namesoundsoff on

      There’s less than 50 000 sami people in Sweden and 100 000km² of swedish lapland. I think they can coexist with mining.

      Sapmi people are professional victim players though. Dealing with them is always a headache.

      You may wonder what will be left if Europe doesn’t get independent on this. But it will take 10 year and 10 years of resolve…

      Another question is: How much are Sami locally fixed.

      [From the 18th and especially the 19th century, ](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S%C3%A1mi_people)the governments of Norway and Sweden started to assert sovereignty more aggressively in the north, and targeted the Sámi with Scandinavization policies aimed at **forced assimilation from the 19th century.**

      From 1913 to 1920, the Swedish race-segregation political movement created a race-based biological institute that collected research material from living people and graves. Throughout history, Swedish settlers were encouraged to move to the northern regions through incentives such as land and water rights, tax allowances, and military exemptions.

      In 1913, the Norwegian parliament passed a bill on “native act land” to allocate the best and most useful lands to Norwegian settlers.

      Their ’Way of life’ is herding reindeer that no one wants to buy, using tax money.

    12. Ok-Law-3268 on

      [Sámi are still ](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S%C3%A1mi_people)coping with the cultural consequences of language and culture loss caused by generations of Sámi children being taken to missionary or state-run boarding schools and the legacy of laws that were created to **deny the Sámi rights** (e.g., to their beliefs, language, land and to the practice of traditional livelihoods). The Sámi are experiencing cultural and environmental threats, including: oil exploration, mining, dam building, logging, climate change, military bombing ranges, tourism and commercial development.

    14. kyokasho on

      What “indigenous way of life”? Herding with helicopters? Sleeping in regular houses instead of a tent in the middle of nowhere? Buying clothes made in Asia like the rest of us? Having access to and using all the amenities of a modern society?

    15. FlanneryODostoevsky on

      Same story. No one cares because the match of progress has to crush someone in order to advance

    16. Spiceyhedgehog on

      A lot of unflaired or non-Sweden flaired people have strong feelings about this, apparently.

    17. GrannyFlash7373 on

      MONEY talks and everything else walks. The LOVE of money is the ROOT of ALL evil.

    18. GloriousBarbarian on

      I don’t really care to subsidize the reindeer larping. Aside from tourists locations attractions this is best left in the past.

    19. thegreatsalvio on

      Jesus I didn’t expect such horrible people in the comments. They have a right to their land and their ways of live after hundreds of years of oppression.

    20. Forsaken1887 on

      Horrible comment section. That’s not the way to carry the European cause.

    21. mrastickman on

      Breaking News: Europeans unconcerned about the expropriation of native lands.

    22. dashazzard on

      reading this comment section reminds me that europe is exactly as racist as america

    23. The_Angu on

      You must understand that the Sami have a right to their lands by blood.

      Also don’t forget that ethnonationalism is bad and anyone can be Swedish

    24. Volkova7 on

      Are ethnic Swedes not indigenous to Sweden too?

      Legit question, I know little of Sweden.

    25. Vickenviking on

      The sami always have raindeer right where someone wants to build something that is going to generate jobs for the other 98% of the population in the north of Sweden.
      It’s a grift.

    26. Comprehensive_End824 on

      The nimbyism of protesting against mines in the vast northern emptiness of Sweden is not helping anyone. It’s a shame we became so dependent on china instead.

    27. armzngunz on

      What’s up with all the city people in these comments thinkign they know anything about reindeer herding, arctic life and such?

    29. kippe2 on

      Those arctic gypsies (fjällzigenare) are always playing the victim and claiming that they have a right to half of Sweden but it has been proven that they were not the first people in what became Sweden.

    30. finne-med-niiven on

      There are 5000 reindeer herders in sweden, they have special rights to roughly half the country to herd their reindeers (area about the size of UK). I think they are fine.

    31. PatternBubbly4985 on

      Not mining is threatening our way of life when China invades Taiwan and we can’t do jack shit because they control all resources

    32. No_Advisor5815 on

      massively overblown by a couple rich elite sami that does not represent the rest

    33. GabeTheWarlock on

      Goddamn I guess this just reaffirms how racist Europeans have always been like they ever did anything for the world lmao

    34. Mediocre-Plate-675 on

      It’s the question of chicken vs egg, isn’t it? 
      At least in Finland the Samis have claimed ownership of land areas that were not theirs to begin with. 
      Finns put up with their reindeer (there’s way too many) destroying much of nature, along with the “traditional” way of herding them with motored vehicles (again, damage to nature). 
      They have also started to make claims about being the only natives here, despite the fact that both Samis and Finns came here around the same time. 

    35. TheMyzzler on

      This story appears once every so often. The Sami have industrialised reindeer breeding and herding and don’t want anyone encroaching on that scheme. 

    36. giantspoonofgrain on

      Hitlerian particulate everywhere in this thread, radiating even

    37. Bloody_Baron91 on

      Hitler would’ve been very proud of this comment section. Never change.

    38. r6CD4MJBrqHc7P9b on

      We’re fiercely anti-racist in Sweden. We do everything right and we wan’t you to know it.

      Unless we’re talking about taking land from the sami. Then we DGAF

    39. InTheNameOfScheddi on

      Very defensive swedes in this comment section lolol. Name calling and avoidance of tackling the issue really shows your side is right.
