Mitmemandaadilised

Mitmemandaadilised is a term that refers to the widespread lack of recognition and compensation for the lives and contributions of Saami people and their reindeer husbandry in national and international politics, social structures and the media. The Saami are an indigenous people living in the northern parts of Europe, traditionally inhabiting areas in present-day Norway, Sweden, Finland, and Russia.

The concept of mitmemandaadilised emphasizes the long history of marginalization and exclusion of the Saami people from the core of society. This has resulted in negligence and disregard for their views, rights, and well-being. The Saami people have been struggling to assert their rights and interests in the face of growing external pressures and demands.

The term mitmemandaadilised is of Saami origin, and it is often translated to mean "no recognition, no rights." The Saami people themselves use this term to describe their situation, highlighting the lack of voice and influence they have had in decision-making processes regarding their territory, culture, and livelihoods.

Mitmemandaadilised has contributed to the erosion of traditional Saami culture, language, and communities. It has also prevented the Saami people from accessing their rights under international human rights law, such as the right to free, prior, and informed consent when it comes to projects and activities affecting their land and resources. Understanding and addressing mitmemandaadilised is crucial for acknowledging and rectifying the historical injustices faced by the Saami people.
