login"We fucked up. We are sorry"... No! Grow some balls for once. You didn't fuck up. So the shaman drum was just on display somewhere. Who said it was a sami shaman drum to begin with? Or is a shaman drum now a sami thing only? (spoilers it certainly isn't unique or exclusive to "sami culture"). Why is cultural appropriation a thing we have to spread our buttcheeks to anyways? Who the fuck cares?
What about people who have claim for the heritage but are not given the sami status? That is not bigotry on Sami Parliament's part? What about the undemocratic way of electing members of Sami Parliament? In practice members of the Sami Parliament choose who get the status and therefore the right to vote for them. All the meanwhile claiming to be democratic institution. Sounds more like a totalitarian segregationist group to me. I personally am of the opinion that Sami is not even a correct term to use anyways. What I know existed before this current regime of segregationist fanatics were called Laplanders (idk how to translate that correctly tho). Obviously being called a Laplander was a branding issue for them as it refers to a location and culture, not necessarily an ethnic group, which they want to highlight for obvious reasons. Creation of strong group identity to play identity politics of course. Effectively splitting the people of Lapland in half where one member of a family might have sami status and others not due to idiotic arbitrary definitions of what being a sami even is (leaves so much room for interpretation and Sami Parliament ultimately decides on a whim if they accept someone for the status). This can't be good for the area in the long run.
But yeah some pigs are more equal than others...
