It has been ten months since the ruling in the Supreme Court where Girja's Sami village won over the state and was given the right to manage hunting and fishing in the Sami village.

The ruling was considered to be prejudicial and applicable to more Sami villages.

But instead of 51 Sami villages having to go to court, the idea is that it will be a political solution.

The hope among the Sami villages was that the ruling would be analyzed and that the reindeer husbandry law would be amended to harmonize with the Girjas Cathedral, ie adjust the four sections dealing with the granting of hunting and fishing.

Critical of the government's approach

But the government has chosen to review the entire reindeer husbandry law and has begun the process of allowing all parties to submit comments.

Half of the Sami villages and all Sami parliamentary parties have responded.

It has also received almost 30 letters from authorities, organizations and associations.

Some of them want to change the reindeer husbandry law in the opposite direction and reduce the position of reindeer husbandry and reduce the Sami villages' influence over hunting, fishing and other land use.

The SSR, the Swedish Sami national federation, is critical of the situation.

- We flagged that different actors will pursue their agenda regardless of whether it has to do with Girjasdomen or not.

That is what we see now, says chairman Åsa Larsson Blind.

Believes it is the wrong order

Minister of Rural Affairs Jennie Nilsson (S) has said that she sees it as important that all stakeholders are allowed to speak and that we make a well-balanced assessment of what the investigation directives should look like.

According to Åsa Larsson Blind, the criticism is not about not everyone being allowed to speak, but about the order not to start by investigating the legal consequences of Girjasdomen.
