	Eidheim: On the Organisation of Knowledge in Sami Ethno-Politics (1995)
		Organising new meaning and knowledge about the Sami themselves and about the world so that a perception of a Sami communality and the life circumstances under which the Sami live can be acknowledged, strike roots and expand in the Sami population.
		This means that the Sami population was not recognised as a rights-holding entity within the state society; they had no rights in or to their homeland, they were not given the same opportunities to cultivate and develop their language and their culture as an ethnic minority population.
		The visible, public manifestation of the Sami Movement was that the elite established active and voluntary organisations among the Sami in the Nordic countries and that a common Nordic umbrella organisation, the Nordic Sami Council, was established in 1956.

	Minde: The International Movement of Indigenous Peoples: an Historical Perspective
		The dominant aim of the organisation was to assist in the growth of an effective leadership, to encourage self-help and to prepare the ground for assimilation whilst at the same time, and somewhat paradoxically, encouraging racial pride.
		The Sami clearly at that time had neither the knowledge nor the expertise in international law and the rights of minorities that was necessary if they were to see their own predicament within an international perspective, nor any idea that they could raise an issue in an international forum.
		The organisation prioritised the improvement of conditions in the health and educational sectors; lobbying on legislative issues, and media campaigns to bring attention to the Indians' culture and history.

		Sami children and adolescents have more contact with the mainstream of Norwegian society than they had previously, and many of them have adapted to Norwegian society without abandoning their own rich cultural heritage.

		One of the goals of the Sami Parliament aims is to strengthen the sense of identity of Sami children and adolescents and their ties with the Sami community.

		The popularly elected body works with Sami political aims for the Sami society and tries to improve the conditions for the Sami concerning the rights to land and water, culture, Sami education etc. The MPs of the Sami Parliament are not fulltime politicians.
		The Sami were not considered capable of taking care of their own rights and their land, which meant that the state overtook the administration on behalf of the Sami through certain state authorities, like “lappväsendet” (a former state authority for Sami issues, especially for reindeer herding) at the end of the 19th century.
		Sami rights were linked to the ownership of reindeer, which means that Sami rights were linked to one kind of industry, the reindeer herding industry.

		However, I last saw him just as he was about to re-enter the hunger strike, and he was sombre at the idea that the US was forcing him into a situation where – just to assert basic human rights – he and many others were being forced to place themselves in harm's way.

	Musketörerna rider på nytt.
		The hunting, farmer and forestowner organisations have become the worst adversaries of the Sami people during the 1990'st. As brothers in arms or as single combattants they have struck their blows against the native rights.
		In 1990 it was time for the national organisation for the farmers "Lantbrukarnas Riksförbund" and their forestowner counterpart "Mellanskog" as well as three multinational forestry corporations to serve a written summons against five Sami communitys in Härjedalen.
		This is done since they refuse to accept the international Forest Stewardship Counsil declaration where it is clearly stated that the forestowners and industry should accept native landrights such as the right for reindeergrazing in the reindeerhusbandry areas.

		The forceful incorporation of reindeer herding to the Finnish agricultural administration changes inevitably its nature as a nomadic form of land use and a way of life supporting the social organisation of the Sámi people.
