The Sami, who have inhabited Europe's far north for thousands of years, are often referred to as the continent's "forgotten people." With their traditional homeland, divided between four nation-states--Norway, Sweden, Finland, and Russia--the Sâapmi have experienced the profound oppression and discrimination that characterize the fate of indigenous people worldwide: their lands have been confiscated, their beliefs and values attacked, their communities and families torn apart. Yet the Sâapmi have shown incredible resilience, defending their identity and their territories and retaining an important social and ecological voice--even if many, progressives and leftists included, refuse to listen. Liberating Sâapmi is a stunning journey through Sâapmi and includes in-depth interviews with Sâapmi artists, activists, and scholars boldly standing up for the rights of their people.
