Exhibition highlights ongoing struggles of Sami people in Sweden
Original: ‘The same struggles as 100 years ago’: exhibition highlights lives of Sami people in Sweden
A new exhibition in Sweden is drawing attention to the lives of the Sami, the Indigenous people of northern Scandinavia, and the discrimination and rights issues they still face. Curators and participants say the community is fighting many of the same battles over land, reindeer herding and cultural recognition that it faced a century ago, prompting renewed debate about Sweden's treatment of its Indigenous minority.
Why now: The exhibition links historical injustice to current debates over Sami land rights and Indigenous recognition in Sweden.
