Sámi Reindeer Herders Oppose Railroad Construction in Finland
Jussa Seurujärvi, Sámi reindeer herder from Muddusjärvi, Inari municipality, part of Sápmi, the cultural region traditionally inhabited by the Sami people.
The Indigenous Sàmi communities in Northern Finland have practiced traditional reindeer-herding for generations where the reindeer depend on old-growth forests and lichen for winter forage.
They face now a new threat: a mega-railroad project that is being planned to connect Finland, and its natural resources, to the Arctic Ocean, facilitating the opening of mines on the Sámi Homeland as well as serving the growth of the forest industry.
