Some thoughts of the controversial themes in the Norwegian news about Sametinget and who can vote in elections. They want to reward the so-called ‘great journalism’ of NRK in investigating Sandra Borch ancestry. This is in my honest opinion pure BS, sorry for language. If you are Sami identified you should be able to vote, and language of great-grandparents is difficult to register accurate in Northern Norway since people are nearly always mixed ethnicity here going back centuries. And Saami languages were discouraged to use and the identity was suppressed by the State and society in general.
I identify as Saami not only because I have Saami language speaking ancestors but my inner self and my experiences being Saami identified in youth. So no one has the right to deny this person her honest career and identity as Saami. This is quite complex and I’m kind of tipsy but not drunk now. Thanks for your time and I hope it was okay reading.
