"JUST TRANSITION OR ‘GREEN COLONIALISM’?
How mineral extraction and new energy projects
without free, prior and informed consent
are threatening Indigenous Sámi livelihoods
and culture in Sweden, Norway and Finland"
New report from Amnesty International
https://www.amnesty.se/documents/278/Final_Just_transition_or_Green_colonialism.pdf (PDF-file)
The report is in English, while the related webpages of Amnesty Sápmi (https://amnestysapmi.se/samers-manskliga-rattigheter-kranks-vid-exploaterinsprojekt-i-norra-sverige/), Amnesty Sweden (https://www.amnesty.se/aktuellt/samers-manskliga-rattigheter-kranks-exploateringsprojekt-sapmi/), Amnesty Norway (https://amnesty.no/rapport-just-transition) and Amnesty Finland (https://www.amnesty.fi/amnestyn-ja-saamelaisneuvoston-raportti-oikeudenmukainen-siirtyma-vai-vihreaa-kolonialismia/) are apparently only in local languages.
It includes the infamous human rights violations by Norway in spite of Supreme Court ruling regarding Fosen (loooon thread here: https://todon.eu/@b9AcE/113872396046073226)
Absolutely heartbreaking but urgently important letter to an unborn daughter on the crisis men are falling into and the fallout that follows.
A fantastic series on the crisis in masculinity courtesy of #ZetlandMag - really worth translating this piece. But the whole series is brilliantly done.

Leser at fosen-aktivistene blir straffet. Foreslår de tar saken om disse bøtene til høyesterett, for da trenger de ikke ta konsekvensene av noen dom uansett, om vi skal se på staten som forbilde.

A statement from the #Sámi House in #Oslo about the ongoing war in #Israel and #Palestine.
Sum-up:
The Sámi House laments the victims of atrocities from #Hamas and the State of Israel,
expresses sympathy with communities associated with Israel and Palestine,
condemns the #warcrimes and #ethniccleansing of #Gaza by the State of Israel,
and stands in #Indigenous solidarity with the Palestinian civilians who are now being driven from their land, denied their rights, and murdered.
"Since both the benefits and the dangers inherent in listening are equally great for young people, I am of the opinion that listening ought to be a constant topic of discussion in one's own mind and with other people. This is especially so because it is noticeable that most people go about the matter in the wrong way: they practise speaking before they have got used to listening, and they think that speaking takes study and care, but benefit will accrue from even a careless approach to listening. It may be the case that in ball games learning to throw and learning to catch the ball are simultaneous, but in dealing with speech proper receptivity is prior to delivery, just as conception and pregnancy precede the birth of viable offspring."
-- "Essays", page 29
One reason why I will always enjoy reading ancient hellenistic philosophy is realizing how remarkably relevant their discussions on moral subjects still are today. Our technology may have evolved much further since their time, but our human nature most certainly has not.
Selections from one of the greatest essayists of the Graeco-Roman world Plutarch used an encyclopedic knowledge of the Roman Empire to produce a compelling and individual voice. In this superb selection from his writings, he offers personal insights into moral subjects that include the virtue of listening, the danger of flattery and the avoidance of anger, alongside more speculative essays on themes as diverse as God's slowness to punish man, the use of reason by supposedly "irrational" animals and the death of his own daughter. Brilliantly informed, these essays offer a treasure-trove of ancient wisdom, myth and philosophy, and a powerful insight into a deeply intelligent man.

ELEKTRIFISERING AV #MELKØYA: Regjeringa Støre vil gjennomføre et naturraserende, kjempedyrt prosjekt som blir katastrofe for #samisk reindrift, skaper høye strømpriser, stopper anna kraftkrevende næring i nord, og fører til enda mer nedbygging av natur til kraftproduksjon.
Dette prosjektet kalles "grønt." Men blir det egentlig mindre utslipp av det? Naturvernforbundet vurderer klimaeffekten som liten.

Naturvernforbundet og Norske Samers Riksforbund har levert felles høringsuttalelse til NVE om tilknytning og elektrifisering av Hammerfest LNG, og vil med dette også levere felles høringsuttalelse til OED om kraftlinja som er tenkt som kraftforsyning til Hammerfest LNG.
Til dem det måtte angå: Støttekonsert i Oslo, om en liten time!
In light of current events in Oslo, I am really motivated to read and finish this inspiring work written by a certain trailblazing Sámi activist a century ago.
(comment on "Inför lif eller död?")
In 1904, Renberg wrote and published a 30-page pamphlet in Swedish entitled Infor lif eller död? Sanningsord i de Lappska förhållandena (Do we face life or death? Words of truth about the Lappish situation) making her the first Sámi woman to have her writings published. This work discussed several issues that were facing the Sámi, such as their education system, their right to vote, and their right to own land. The Sámi national spirit was reawakening at the point the writing was published, making it especially important. Renberg also encouraged Sámi women to work and help her in the cause. Throughout the pamphlet, she uses carefully crafted temporal rhetoric to enact resistance to Swedish colonization.
