The age-old village council structure of the Skolt Sámi people summoned all villagers together when important decisions were to be made. The decisions were reached by consensus, with breaks in between for eating, drinking and rest, to ensure that everyone was safe and sound and had the sufficient information at hand to guide the decision making.

“Is it the thinness and laziness of culture that upholds colonial structures, of the colonising culture? Destroy, destroy, destroy, and then show up to ask for rituals, knowledge, survival skills. As if to ask: Is there still something more you could take? I am so, so tired of explaining, educating, selling the thought that buying some living space for us is a good investment, harming no one.”
