How climate change is destroying the world of the indigenous people of Sweden, by IlanKelman
Sámi reindeer herders in northern Sweden experience solastalgia, mental distress from environmental change.
The Sámi have been oppressed historically and today’s changes add to their mental health difficulties.Jokkmokk in northern Sweden straddles the Arctic Circle. Jenni Laiti introduces herself, describing her family and the place in which she belongs. She uses her indigenous language, Sámi, “We have been here together since the last ice age." Now, the planet warms, her land changes, and the Sámi endure solastalgia, meaning distress from environmental change.
Both ideas may be dying with the reindeer, as described by Laiti and Carl-Johan Utsi. One November day, 3000 reindeer were being herded across a frozen lake, as the Sámi have been doing for centuries. The ice broke. Scrambling for the shore, animals stood on each other, trampling some, while others drowned. Some 400 died that day as their herders watched helplessly.
