In a series of articles, SvD reviews the conflict that has occurred over half Sweden’s surface. On the one hand, the Sami and their rights to the land as indigenous peoples, on the other hand industry and government ambitions in mining and wind power.

“Several mining companies consider that indigenous peoples’ rights are needed in other countries, but not in Sweden where they have their mines,” says REXSAC researcher, Rebecca Lawrence to the Swedish newspaper, SvD yesterday.
