COPENHAGEN, Denmark (AP) — Dozen of activists, including Indigenous Sami, protested Friday outside the office of Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre, vowing to block entry to remind Norway's government that they want a wind farm removed because they say it endangers the reindeer herders’ way of life.
In February, the same human rights activists occupied the Ministry of Petroleum and Energy for four days, and later also blocked the entrances to 10 ministries. The Norwegian government then apologized for failing to act despite a Supreme Court ruling in favor of the Sami, and Gahr Støre also acknowledged “ongoing human rights violations.”
“We were promised a change. We were promised that our human rights would be respected. Yet nothing has happened for almost 100 days” since Gahr Støre said the government would do something, activist Elle Nystad told Norwegian news agency NTB on Friday.
“We will not give up until the wind turbines on Fosen are demolished and the land is returned to reindeer herders,” said another activist, Elle Ravdna Nakkalajarvi.
Sami from neighboring Sweden and Finland also have traveled to the Norwegian capital, they said in a statement, and added that Indigenous activists were wearing their traditional bright-colored dress inside out “as an old Sami symbol for strong disagreement.”

Sorry, beloved indigenous folk, every knee must bow before the mighty Climate Crisis (elites excluded).
I predict that as more wind farms and utility sized solar plants destroy the deserts the environazi will turn on both.
They’re against anything that actually works.
Why we let them dictate our lives is beyond me.
It’s about $$$$$ for them and poverty for others.
Dozen[s] of activists, including Indigenous Sami,
Spot the difference, win a prize!
When I took Social Studies as a kid, Sami were called Laplanders.
