  1. Hi, it's #Finland calling!

    Pardon, no article about this in English, but must share anyways.

    The think tank of the #FarRight government party #TheFinns started a web page vaestonvaihto - #GreatReplasement, and "there's absolutely no #ConspiracyTheory behind it!"

    They are comparing the rise of migrants here for instance with the colonization of the US by the Europeans who then repressed the #FirstNations.

    And they somehow forget that the #SámiPeople were here first

  2. Lotten von Düben (1828–1915) was a Swedish amateur photographer known primarily for her photographs of Sami people taken during two trips, accompanying her husband Gustav, a medical doctor, on research expeditions. Each Lapp sitter posed for a front as well as a profile portrait … but they were not happy. Wrote Gustav: “Immediately on our arrival we had spoken to them about the photography, something they already knew about or quickly came to understand. Yet for a couple of days it was impossible to get them to sit for us, even though we made appointments + sent messengers to fetch them. We put this down to the customary tardiness and indecision of the Lapps, but later heard a different explanation. When we told them we wanted them to wear their festive attire, + that the old women should have their silver ornaments on … they grew wary + withdrew to discuss the matter. They were afraid that if they allowed themselves to be photographed in their costly apparel I would show the prints to the 'big chief' who would then realize … they were richer than they claimed to be, whereupon he would increase their taxes” #photography #amateurphotography #amateurphotographer #photographer #lottenvondüben #sami #samipeople #lapland #laplander #lapp #lappland #fotografia #fotografie #swedishphotographer #portrait #portraitphotographer #portraitphotography #womenphotographers #vintagephotography
