Exhibition highlights Sami people's struggles in Sweden
Original: 'The same struggles as 100 years ago': exhibition highlights lives of Sami people in Sweden https://www.theguardian.com/
A new exhibition in Sweden is drawing attention to the lives and ongoing hardships of the Sami, the Indigenous people of northern Scandinavia. Framed by the phrase 'the same struggles as 100 years ago', it underlines that issues such as land rights, reindeer herding and cultural survival remain unresolved a century on. The exhibition has prompted discussion about Indigenous rights and Sweden's treatment of its Sami minority.
Why now: Interest in Indigenous rights in Europe is growing, and the exhibition links past injustices to present-day Sami struggles.
