Norway's Parliament has issued a formal apology to the Sami, Kven, and Forest Finn peoples, addressing over a century of forced assimilation and cultural suppression.
Silje Karine Muotka emphasized the need for concrete action following the apology, calling for an active policy of reconciliation to address ongoing injustices.
The resolutions approved by Parliament include important measures such as protecting minority languages and ensuring education for children in those languages to prevent further discrimination.
Although the apology acknowledges past harms, ongoing issues regarding land and resource use remain unresolved, showcasing the complexity of reconciliation efforts.
