Talk:Finnmark Act

Re: Indigenous peoples.
>The convention states that rights for the indigenous peoples to land and natural resources are recognized as central for their material and cultural survival. In addition, indigenous peoples should be entitled to exercise control over, and manage, their own institutions, ways of life and economic development in order to maintain and develop their identities, languages and religions, within the framework of the States in which they live.

Just wondering if the Norwegian parliament recognizes indigenous Norwegians as being indigenous peoples, and entitled to any of these controls over their own institutions, ways of life, development, etc in order to maintain their identities, languages, and religions? Or whether these indigenous rights only apply to the Sami people who migrated to Norway around 500, yet not the Norwegian people who have been there from the beginning of time? 124.190.192.20 (talk) 08:48, 10 January 2022 (UTC)
