8:40 am
blood in the streets he said it in the radio international radio. the atmosphere here is heated until you are green fuse directly threatened by the ruling in favor of the sunny because it doesn't only give the curious sunny community the right to determine who is allowed to hunt in the area it also allows them to decide how many hunters are allowed on land and when. i fear that there could be more and more regulation of hunting in the future illyria's has decided to close the majority of its territories until september 15th last year the winter arrived on september 30th along with half a meter of snow. and put a stop to hunting it's getting worse and worse i hope that things don't continue to develop like this but i fear they will there's. no rain to say they want to keep hunting dogs like you walk away from their own homes that makes you walk in secret he says he'll void strange. but occasionally inquisitive

8:43 am
it is important for us to co-exist and that we are not miserly but generous. for there is enough space for everyone if we are considerate and respect one another on the other and not to. him and doesn't want to give up the hunt and sits off in search of photonic and. up 212000 reindeer cranes in the sunny district of curious the sunny have possessed the land use right since 1906 the fish need large pots of swedish lapland belong to the state. in the midst of the grazing area lies the village of nick looked up. into a sorry grew up in him and sisters who sunny nomads. and you can look to was named
8:44 am
after a grandfather. my grandfather and grandmother was following the reindeer in the area and saw this when they passed this place nickel look bad when they're going east for the winter time and then it's past again when they're going west in the summertime so in the beginning of 1900 there were some bad years for the reindeers so a couple of families decided to be little more stature with such an air and one of this fire 5 family who decided to settle down was my grandfather and grandmother. belongs to one of the 20 families incurious which still loom reindeer. in the world because of photography she talk humans to traditional way of life of the community
8:45 am
. only some 5000 of the sunny in sweden there are up to 50000 in total still lived like elder and her family. some of the sami people are not anymore feeling as sami because they are living in this situation so they are totally enclosed to her my aura to society but for me it's important and i i am a part of the salary society even if they are living in sweden and also i have a part of me is the swedish identity but. when any body asked me than i am a sammy. many non-indigenous swedes think the sunny land claims are excessive . in that is well aware of that.
8:46 am
i think it's difficult for people to understand what we are talking about when we are talking about we need the area for the reindeer we are close to nature yes there is a lot of nature but we need a big part of it so the rain there can be all over the here and then we got questions why are your reindeer on the roads why are your reindeer on the railroads and the opposite is why are you. making this road and railroad crossing where the rain there has walked for thousands of years. what is now the town of tonight used to be grazing land for reindeer watched over by sonny herders. sweden the most town
8:47 am
was founded in 1900 mine is moved here from southern sweden in search of luck displacing the indigenous people and the reindeer. nowadays the majority of the towns 23000 inhabitants are non-indigenous swedes. including mykonos el bag he finds it perplexing that sami now have the right to walk hunting licenses. it would be very strange if you have more rides if you have been here a longer time how should the house should we handle people who are coming in now and moving to sweden from the problem areas they're wrong in the world so this say that i have some rights but they don't tab. it's a very important democratic view that they have to get the same rights.
8:48 am
i think the problem is that the people in stock on that they have the romantic pictures of the people with their original people with the last over the traditional clothes and walking with the reindeers are taking care of them but it is not true you know the sami 90 percent of the saami don't have more rights than i have and it just a small part of the sum you are reindeer on. the 2020 crew gives the reindeer the families the right to grant hunting licenses and interiors there are just 20. details to the animals a canal to get in the mountains saw today even sorry to say present camera. drained either but is it needed for sale. tough to the average one to members of
8:49 am
the sunny community to remain for their own private consumption. give us personal friend. and. we got our things good for you we have begun slaughtering the animals for the broth yet great fresh meat at last after. the reward 1000000000 in you yes a reward i. after a hard winter in. his funny is a range he had from a neighboring sunny settlement. he slaughtered to his animals which had gotten mixed up with the reindeer security assignee. his father taught him the job. and today i have. between generations so it's my father
8:50 am
my sons so. i mean the middle east are you helping everyone to go to slaughtering this even though hunt has never gotten his way he believes that it's necessary to make many areas off limits. that you can look at our place up here it's a working place when we don't want people to be there because it's dangerous or this but her being there work what we are doing very attractive and like an ordinary industry we need to work with the reindeer because we need to move but the most of the people who are up here they are. they're doing it for pressure that's the difference. so if you compare pressure things against the work it is quite easy for me. the person inside is also concerned about jobs swedish lapland is the country's most popular
8:51 am
inventiveness destination tuna venturis and it's almost doubled in the last chaney's also because of the hunting possibilities. wants to expand to recently a further he himself is the founder of the 2 reparation business but now the curious son community has decided that in the future only hunters from the region would be allowed to hunt on her own sister land. the worst case scenario would be if if i miss some village some may be get the same right as the gear us and they will close the area of the area off the area for the local people and also for the tourists for tourist companies we need people who work and we'd turismo taking care of them out in the world and asked for hunting and fishing and saw what. 2 days later and reindeer had
8:52 am
a piece money is still processing new rain to meet after it's home for a while he has to convert to small cuts. like close randi you can no longer leave from the same few sentiments. he has another job as a welder like almost all reindeer does he thinks that the swedish change has been colonizing planned for centuries. but. when i was young we didn't have so much mines power plants roads and other people. in the forest and now they see new mines every day from going up so now they are a family we cannot call that big bird because we don't have the space enough. because we have a really big mine in our place where we stay in the winters so. i
8:53 am
think we have lost about 90 percent of the area. for our family not for my say right not so worried but for my children say if they're going to work with. brain there's where are they going to stay. as well as creating huge i know mining community the swedish state has been developing land for centuries building roads electricity pylons wind turbines and steves for 2 years. will soften the looms for randy hardest by pisani when. he says that sonny don't talk about how big their needs are it's like asking him what he has in his bank account. he gets approximately 500 euros for me since a large animal to slaughter house. to send of one creature means he can food to
8:54 am
keep 20 others improved infrastructure is attracting more and more people to the fun of sweden it's only the last 1015 years before that have never been trouble in this way what is now. because now everyone can go buy a quad bike. everyone can buy a snowmobile. and. everyone think if they have the right to. truth to build a house to fix things up there in the mountains. that's what. i get little bit upset over it when they say we have also rights but it's. no. you only have been here for this.
8:55 am
it's not only the one person it's not only mine says not only sit this it's not only true risk companies it's everything together because in this society are pushing us from all the directions. soon we don't know in what direction what where we can go to be free. close by 2 other men have me for a drink do you also feel that the. lack of a good workout. all hunters are lacking greene and his friend. martin stanley has been living in the arctic region for generations he shares his friend's feelings for. me how to complete freedom of poles and we could go anywhere
8:56 am
and we had numerous fantastic possibilities of being in the outdoors and i would like my son to have exactly the same opportunities. so they can really get to know life in the mountains a lot go around a little. too many concerned that it might no longer be possible to live peacefully side by side america sees someone who was. comical or evil maybe but in order to get out of those. in need than anything. in the small proportion of the sami population now have all the rights and we have to try to see the light at the end of the tunnel but we can only hope that the politicians finally assume responsibility and see the big picture. at the moment we here in the north feel neglected for he said. that the big problem with organ said. i don't but very 1st order we have to hit it off the rail. yard.
8:57 am
give us sorry is motivated by concern that goes beyond anything related to hunting rights she doesn't want the indigenous peoples wildlife to be lost. she's so your traditional costume for her young grandchild are and she speaks sunny to him a language that was long suppressed in sweden. i had to teach herself sami was only recognized as a minority language in 2000 and these days it's awful as a subject in school and yes. it is a part of our culture and still a big part of the sami people speak sami so when you don't understand what the people speaking to each other. you feel there is something missing in your heart and in your culture or in your identity. she hopes that other
8:58 am
swedes will also finally start taking more of an interest in sodomy identity. they don't know that we have our own culture our own clothes and that we are the indigenous people in sweden so even if there is the this issue that you should learn more about the sami people in schools it. it's not working better accord right now so i hope it will be better and it can only be better if the government make decisions for that. speech of the swedish lapland smout forests is just the latest manifestation of a centrist long conflict in the countries far between the sunny people and non-indigenous swedes.
