Four Sami villages have sued the Swedish state, seeking exclusive rights to small game hunting and fishing above the cultivation border.

The Sami hope for a legal outcome similar to the 2020 Girjas case, which granted such rights to the Girjas Sami village.

Sami advocates argue their rights have been ignored despite a High Court ruling and seek to force political action.

Critics, including the Norrbotten Hunters' Association, believe the land should be shared by all.
