Abstract (eng)
The present thesis examines the current developments in Sami rights with a special focus on recent Supreme Court decisions in Norway, Sweden and Finland. In particular, the Swedish Girjas case (2020), the Norwegian Fosen case (2021) and the (two) recent Finnish Deatnu cases (2022) are being analysed. Furthermore, the thesis discusses major current challenges for the Sami, including the complex relationship between Indigenous and environmental rights.
