In the courtroom, the Sami village and the state's legal representatives have sought to find support in the law for their different approaches about who is entitled to the management of the hunting and fishing in Girja's reindeer herding area in the mountains.

It is more about opinions and feelings than about legal arguments. How does the small game hunt in the mountains work today, how should it work and what should a fair administration look like?

In the clip we have listed three issues where the views are divided between Girja's Sami village and representatives of the Kiruna Hunting and Fishing Association.
