500 days of Norwegian #humanrights violations.
500 days of governmental disrespect for the Supreme Court's decision.
500 days of building distrust between #Indigenous #Sámi and the Kingdom of #Norway.
Hundreds of years of Norwegian destruction of Sámi land, culture, and language.
When will it end?
How will it end?

ONGOING: #Indigenous #Sámi youth and environmentalists are occupying Norway's Ministry for Oil and Energy, protesting the government of #Norway's inaction after Supreme Court ruled in favor of the Sámi agains the #Fosen #windturbine plant.
DAY TWO: #Indigenous #sami 
activists, and #environmentalist allies, are still occupying the Oil and Energy Ministry (OED) of #Norway. There are also many activists outside the building.
OED security has attempted to isolate them and drive them out. The media and all visitors were denied access, isolating them from media attention. People bringing them food and water were refused, apparently an attempt to starve out the activists.

DAY THREE: The #Indigenous #Sámi occupation of the Oil and Energy Ministry of #Norway is still ongoing. Norwegian media is writing next to nothing about it.
Maybe international media will eventually notice?
I don't have a full overview over who is taking part in the #Sámi occupation of #Norway's Oil and Energy Ministry, but at least two musicians:
Ella Marie Hætta Isaksen - activist, actress, musician - is one of the #Indigenous occupation's main spokespeople.
Listen to the group ISÁK here:

Aslak Heika Hætta Bjørn - politician, musician.
Listen to the group ONDT BLOD here: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=OQS6vOLC4Rc
Hopefully soon you'll hear them speak in international media. #Fosen
A message from young #Indigenous #Sámi activists who are occupying the Oil and Energy Dept of #Norway
417 Likes, 14 Comments - NSR Nuorat (@nsr_nuorat) on Instagram: "We are a group of indigenous Sámi activists that are currently on our third day of occupying the Norwegian ministry of oil and energy. We are here protesting the ongoing human rights violation against Sámi people in Norway. 502 days ago, the supreme court of Norway ruled the wind turbines on Fovsen-Njaarke reindeer herdig district illegal. This is exactly what we have been telling them for years! Yet, with all the information in the ruling, the Norwegian government has failed to act. Wind turbine parks and reindeer herding cannot coexist. We demand the wind turbines to be taken down and the land to be restored and returned to the reindeer herders of Fovsen-Njaarke. We are being isolated. The government is trying their hardest to silence us and the ongoing human rights violation. Now we ask our indigenous brothers, sisters and siblings for help: Spread awareness in your local communities and globally! #native #indigenous #natives #sámi #sápmi #sami #sapmi #indigenouspeople #indigenousrights #nativerights #baajhvaerideårrodh #freefovsen #landback"
Meet the OED occupants! These are the young activists who are occupying the Oil and Energy Ministry of #Norway to make the government respect #humanrights, #indigenousrights, nature , and Norway's Supreme Court.

Greta Thunberg har bekreftet at hun slutter seg til aksjonene utenfor Olje- og energidepartementet, ifølge Natur og Ungdom og NSR-N. Aksjonistene krever at det pågående menneskerettighetsbruddet mot Fosensamene opphører. Siden torsdag morgen har unge samiske aktivister okkupert lobbyen til departementet. Thunberg har engasjert seg i urfolkskampen tidligere også. – I morgen blir selveste Greta Thunberg med i protestene. Akkurat nå vendes verdens oppmerksomhet mot Norge, og den norske stat kan ikke lenger begå menneskerettighetsbrudd i fred, sier leder i NSR-N Elle Nystad.
Upon arrival to the Oil and Energy Ministry, #GretaThunberg was denied access to the building. She was to meet the #Indigenous activists protesting the inaction of the government of #Norway in the #Fosen case.

Greta Thunberg skulle etter planen møte Fosen-aksjonistene i Olje- og energidepartementet søndag kveld, men fikk ikke tillatelse til å komme innenfor dørene. Det opplyser Ella Marie Hætta Isaksen, en av aksjonistene, til NTB. Departementenes sikkerhets- og serviceorganisasjon (DSS) bekrefter at de ikke ville slippe Thunberg inn, men i stedet tilbød henne å snakke med aksjonistene gjennom en sidedør til resepsjonen. – Bakgrunnen for den beslutningen er at DSS av sikkerhetsmessige hensyn ikke ønsker at flere demonstranter skal ta seg inn i bygget, sier seniorrådgiver Espen Evensen i DSS til NTB.
DAY FIVE: In the middle of the night, police have notified the #Indigenous #Sámi activists that they will be forcibly evicted within very short time, at 02:25
The authorities are likely removing them in the small hours on short notice to keep media attention away from what they are doing.
Cowards.
Law-breaking, land-stealing cowards.
