‘Green’ colonialism is ruining Indigenous lives in Norway

Norway continues to allow the construction of wind farms on Saami land, which threatens their herding livelihoods.

Some 98 percent of Norway’s electricity production today comes from renewable energy sources. But in most public debates or political decisions, the detrimental impact that this has had on Saami livelihoods is readily overlooked. The Oyfjellet wind plant is not the first encroachment Jillen Njaarke have faced. Various hydropower plants in their land have reduced pastures and have exposed their herds to a higher risk when crossing unstable ice on water dams.

As democratic processes led by majoritarian societies fail to include indigenous perspectives, exhausting and expensive lawsuits become one of the only pathways left for the Saami community. Yet, at the core, these kinds of conflicts are not merely legal problems. They call into question the fundamental principles underlying our ways of organising as societies.

Just a PSA: if you’re starting to feel like your mental health has been going down the drain and feeling really low and fatigued and finding it hard to do stuff, please be kind to yourself.

My psych has told me she’s seeing LOTS of people go into this state, and it’s because all the adrenaline and anxiety and stress at the start of corona has been used up, and now your brain is going into a sort of depressive mode.

So please be kind to yourself, don’t push yourself too hard and ask for extra support if you need it! !

As a therapist: I’m seeing this a lot too, and it’s documented in the research. Rates of mental illness have doubled or tripled in most countries. People who weren’t vulnerable before have started experiencing depression, anxiety, and acute stress, and a lot of people’s existing mental health concerns have gotten even worse.

There’s no such thing as police reform. Just like there’s no such thing as reformed slavery. You can’t reform a system that is inherently violent. The entire criminal justice system is inextricably bound to oppression. It must be destroyed.
