Beaivi is a deity in the folklore of the Sami people of northern Europe. She is the goddess of the sun, spring, and sanity, associated with the fertility of plants and animals, particularly reindeer. On the winter solstice, a white female reindeer would be sacrificed to Beaivi so that she would end the winter. The sacrificed animals' meat was threaded onto sticks, which were then bent into rings and tied with bright ribbons. This was called the Festival of Beaivi.

#Zad polaire : l’ardente lutte des jeunes #Sámi.es de #Norvège

En Norvège arctique, colonialisme, projets miniers, changement climatique et militarisation se conjuguent pour assaillir les Sámi.es. Mais la jeune génération du seul peuple autochtone reconnu en #Europe est déterminée à se battre pour son #environnement et son mode de vie, entre pêche et élevage des rennes. Immersion auprès des activistes du fjord. https://www.terrestres.org/2026/03/19/zad-polaire-lardente-lutte-des-jeunes-samis-de-norvege/
