DISTINCT CULTURES

Indigenous peoples have their own unique languages, beliefs, and cultural practices. 

CONNECTED TO THE HOME LAND

Indigenous peoples have a strong connection to the lands and natural resources where they live. 

ANCESTRAL TIES

Indigenous peoples share a common ancestry with the people who lived in a region or country before colonization. 

Discover Ancient Cultures
Who's Indigenous?

Indigenous peoples are distinct groups with their own languages, beliefs, and cultures. They are also known for their strong connection to the lands and natural resources where they live, and for their desire to maintain their ancestral ways of life. 

The United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP) acknowledges the rights of Indigenous peoples, including the right the right to self-determination, the right to their lands, and the right to practice their cultural traditions. 

Indigenous Peoples are distinct social and cultural groups that share collective ancestral ties to the lands and natural resources where they live, occupy or from which they have been displaced. The land and natural resources on which they depend are inextricably linked to their identities, cultures, livelihoods, as well as their physical and spiritual well-being. ​

"We are all indigenous, like fingers of the same hand. Brothers and Sisters, we share this Earth. We are equally accountable for how we care for it and each other."​​​​

SOFIA JANNOK - THIS IS MY LAND (Official)

Reclaiming the land. Song: This Is My Land (Sápmi) Music & lyrics: Sofia Jannok Producers: Sofia Jannok & Henrik Oja Director: Sofia Jannok Edit: Mattias Andersson Photo Romsa (Tromsø): Matti Aikio Photo Paris: Ayşe Gürsöz John E Utsi, Dan Jåma Photo Svalbard: Marcus Krogtoft Photo collage from all over Sápmi: Nila Jannok, Mats Berg, Pávva Pittja, Ina-Theres Sparrok, Emma Charlina Graméus, Ánne Márjá Guttorm Graven Most thanks to Indigenous Environmental Network for clips from Paris during the direct actions around COP21, Dec 2015. Stay posted at www.ienearth.org www.sofiajannok.com LYRICS Intro: “The State is of the opinion that the claim put forward by the Sámi reindeer herding community with regards to their long tradition of being engaged in reindeer husbandry, hunting and fishing in the area is of irrelevance to the case. In order to be eligible to claim immemorial prescription, said claim has to be based on a 90 years long use of an area. Any additional use for a longer period of time is of irrelevance to the legality of the claim.” “Because of the claim that it is of importance that the Sámi have been using this area, the State is of the opinion that it is of utmost importance to define what is meant by the term Sámi, and how specific such a definition really is. This is what the following material is meant to do.” (Excerpts from the State Attorney’s intervention during the hearing in the court case between the Sámi reindeer herding community Girjas - from whence Sofia Jannok’s grandmother came - and the Swedish State. Gällivare Lapland District Court, June, 2015.) This is my land, this is my country and if I’d be the queen you’d see that I’d take everyone by hand and sing it so it’s out there that we’ll paint this land blue, yellow, red and green If you say that this girl’s not welcome in this country, if she must leave because her face is brown Well, then I’d say you go first ’cause frankly this is my land and here we live in peace, I’ll teach you how This is my pride, this is my freedom, this is the air that I breathe and you’ll find no kings, no queens, here everybody’s equal - men, women and all who are in between This is my home, this is my heaven, this is the earth where I belong and if you want to ruin it all with big wounds in the mountains then you’re not worthy of listening to this song This is my land, this is my country, these lakes, rivers, hills and woods If you open up your eyes you’ll find someone is lying I’ve always been here, welcome to my hoods

WE'RE GOING DOWN CAPTAIN!

In 1978, the radar system suddenly went out on the USS Stein. Engineers examined the fault, which likely laid somewhere around the massive (27,215-kg/59,999 lb) dome where a collossal squid had attached itself to the front of the ship’s hull.​

Unlike humans and other vertebrates, cephalopods’ camera eyes lack a blind spot. The blind spot in our eyes occurs at the point on the retina where the optic nerve connects. This area contains no light-detecting cells.
