With Sweden and Finland joining NATO, the voices from Sápmi, the indigenous region spanning across these countries, have raised unique concerns.

Izabel Nordlund from Jokkmokk, a community within Sápmi, expressed surprise and discontent for not having a referendum on such a significant decision.

This sentiment echoes across Sápmi, where many feel sidelined in the dialogue surrounding NATO membership.

The region's perspective on this geopolitical shift is being spotlighted in a 15-minute weekly segment on SVT, aiming to bring broader attention to the views and implications for the indigenous communities involved.
