The Sámi are Europe’s only remaining indigenous people, residing in the northernmost regions of the Nordic countries. Their existence is tied to their language, traditional knowledge and relationship to the land, which they nurture so that it may sustain the future generations of Sámi. In the midst of this serene landscape howls a series of broken rights, laws, and injustices as the Sámi are time and time again caught under the foot of the Finnish government’s economy-driven policies.
Eatnameamet - Our Silent Struggle portrays the Sámi people fighting for their existence,
balancing the intimately heavy topic of a struggling nation, with sweeping panoramas of the landscapes in the heart of the Sámi homeland.
