The Sami people were deported from Norway, sent to “education camps” in Sweden where they were stripped down naked and photographed for “studies”. They were taught to be “Norwegian” and to rid themselves of any Sami practices. Kids were moved moved to cities and other parts of the country so that they would be as far away from family as possible. It was borderline slavery and I assume there were deaths linked to this kind of treatment of indigenous people.

Luckily that has changed for the better in Norway. We have radio stations, TV stations and signage in Sami. There’s a lot of money being put into educating kids and adults for what the country did, and there’s a lot of discussion on how to make Norwegian websites more friendly to the Sami (translations etc).
