The #indigenous people 'breathing last breath' in #Putin's war 4,000 miles from home

by Josh Leyton, February 28, 2025

"One of the world’s oldest continuous communities is ‘breathing its last breath’ as some of its few remaining men die fighting for #Russia more than 4,000 miles away in #Ukraine.

"The #Yupik are among the threatened #IndigenousPeoples in the remote far north-east of the federation whose numbers are being further depleted by Vladimir Putin’s war.

[...]

"Recruits from a #ReindeerHerding community around 2,000 miles from the frontline are among those who have been conscripted or promised large payments to join the Kremlin’s war machine.

"The fate of those being mobilised, who are mainly drawn from the north, Siberia and far east, was revealed last week by the testimony of a 19-year-old soldier taken prisoner by Ukraine."

"As for the wind farms, the #Sámi already fought and won their case in court in 2021 [AND YET THAT OUTCOME IS BEING IGNORED!], thirteen years after they first began advocating against the wind farms’ construction. Ironically, the government set up a #TruthAndReconciliation Commission in 2018, not only to investigate the state’s assimilation policy and its consequences, but also to establish measures promoting greater equality for minorities in Norway. The investigation is soon to be published.

"When it came to removing the wind turbines, Sámi people have had to resort to civil disobedience to get the government’s attention. On February 23, protesters occupied the reception area of the Ministry of Petroleum and Energy and blocked the entrances of several other government departments across Oslo.

“'#IndigenousRights are #HumanRights. You can’t weigh them against anything else,' says sixteen-year-old Jostein Tennø Loe, a socialist youth board representative. He was among the first activists to be arrested outside the Ministry of Finance. As they were carried away, passersby could hear the sound of #joik, the traditional Sámi singing once suppressed by the government’s #assimilation efforts. 'When #Norway, as a democratic state, ignores human rights and ignores the supreme court five hundred days after the ruling, something is deeply wrong,' Jostein says. For the Sámi, who are no strangers to conflict over land, the court’s ruling in their favor came a century too late — but the five hundred days that followed were nothing but a slap in the face.

"Not only is #ReindeerHerding a significant part of their culture — it’s also a crucial arena for the Sámi people of #Fosen to practice their language. Considering that the Norwegian government is single-handedly responsible for pushing the language to the brink of extinction, the prime minister’s lack of remorse was damning."

This year has seen a conflict level between the government of #Norway and #Indigenous Sámi that is unheard of since the 1980s.

Protests center on the #Fosen case, where a #windturbine plant has been illegally built on Sámi #reindeerherding land

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

President of the #Sámi Parliament of #Norway, Silje Karine Muotka states that the actions of the Norwegian government has created a "deep crisis of trust" between the #Indigenous Sámi and the Norwegian state.

Before true dialogue can begin, she says that

- PM Jonas Gahr Støre must give an unconditional apology to the #Fosen #reindeerherding Sámi
- The Government must recognize that Fosen is now the site of an ongoing human rights' violation.
