  • Summary

  • Henrik BLIND is group leader for the Green Party in Jokkmokk.

    Henrik is also Sami and together we will speak about the Sami people, their history and culture as well as their rights and fights.

    TheSami are Europes’s only indigenous people whose land called Sápmi encompasses large northern parts of Norway, Sweden, Finland, and Russia. An intact territory

    made of mountains, wild rivers, pristine lakes and streams, tundra and forests,

    where the Sami have lived since time immemorial. Their best-known means of

    livelihood is semi-nomadic reindeer herding, even though nowadays only 10% of

    the Sámi are connected to reindeer herding,

    This conversation will touch on the history of Swedish colonization and how it affects society today, the question of land and disputes with the forestry and mining industries, the impact of climate change

    on reindeer herding but also explore the indigenous spirituality and how it

    could inspire us today.
