In this Interview they discuss much about the Sami Tribe and its traditions, the struggles they face today in modern culture and what we can do about it. Even though, and as with many things, there are troubling signs in our world and cultures, there is hope through awakening to change this planet. Connecting with each other and the earth. #sapmi #sami #saami

saamicouncil's callout:

 🗣️HELP US SPREAD AWARENESS! 📣

The Swedish government has just announced plans to open a new mine in Giron/Kiruna in pursuit of rare earth minerals for the European market. This announcement was made during Sweden's first EU presidency meeting, with the projected earnings being touted as a billion dollar bonanza for the Swedish state.

However, it is important to note that the area of Kiruna has been heavily exploited by the mining industry for over a century. The proposed mine will divide a traditional area for Saami reindeer herding in Kiruna, effectively rendering their right to exercise their culture null and void.

The justification for the mine is the conversion to a "green" economy and geopolitics.

The exploitation of our territories for the sake of "green economy" projects is a pervasive issue. The Saami lands are being disproportionately affected, with our land resources being used to justify and greenwash the unsustainable consumption habits of the Western world.

Please help us spread awareness on this issue.
✋ Stop green colonialism! ✋

About the #revitalization of #Skolt #Saami, an #indigenous #language in Finland: With support from the Finnish Cultural Foundation, the use of Skolt Saami in school can be expanded. The results of preschool immersion and education projects are already visible. "A few years ago, one could only speak Skolt Saami with older people, but now there are children who are fluent speakers."

Europe don't have many #indigenous #people left, only the #Saami in northern Europe. They still struggle with #colonialism on their sacred land by Norwegian and Swedish government allowing wind park projects on Saami heaths, forests and mountains. Unlike the western society it seems, Saami people believe that nature and people live together and are dependent of eachother. In the link below an insight at their struggle: https://www.nrk.no/norge/xl/det-hellige-fjellet-1.16043121?fbclid=IwAR2nIoP4_SoDbHXVYyPkIUvCyNZCn-SB-XUvX6OnuFUA3MRGKU7w2IxyRd8
