Vi er mange som har blitt blåst av banen av kraften i siste ukes protester og blokader av 10 departementer. Det er både forløsende, men også starten på veien videre i kampen for et rettferdig grønt skifte med menneskerettigheter i sentrum.

We can - and must - fight the climate crisis AND respect Indigenous peoples' rights!

Deliberate misappropriation of our intangible cultural property is unacceptable.

Indigenous peoples’ rights to our own cultural heritage are widely acknowledged.

@SquareEnix must stop infringing on our cultural rights and remove the item from sale.

@SquareEnix the costume set “Far Northern Attire of the Final Fantasy XIV should be removed immediately as demanded by @SaamiCouncil

[The Saami Council @SaamiCouncil]

🚫 The Saami Council demand @SquareEnix to immediately remove the Final Fantasy XIV costume set “Far Northern Attire”! These elements are Sámi property and Square Enix has infringed on our rights

.@SquareEnix do the right thing and immediately remove the #FinalFantasy “Far North Attire”. Sámi cultural property rights are not fictional. They are protected and protectable under the intellectual property laws. We remain open for dialogue and require respect.

[Jan Dusík @DusikJan]

.⁦@SaamiCouncil⁩ ⁦@AsaLBlind⁩ at #EUArcticForum: It is worrying that conversation around green #Arctic solutions centers around same kind of developments which caused the climate crisis -> need a real transformation & building on Indigenous knowledge & experience
