Swedish says ( about Swedish ) : "Right now we have a historic opportunity to do things that provide jobs here and now - but also hasten the climate transition that everyone realises is necessary. Today, you are laying the foundations that will enable the Swedish steel industry to be entirely fossil- and carbon dioxide- free in 20 years. Together we can rebuild Sweden as the world's first fossil-free welfare nation,"

Swedish says : "If the Truth Commission project only serves to shed light on history, it makes no sense to us,” says reindeer herder Anders Kråik, a Sami MP in the four-member working group with Matti Berg. “We need to strengthen our rights and give the Sami influence over decisions on Sami lands, instead of being told to go to court if there are disputes with mining companies. A Truth and Reconciliation Commission for the Tornedalians and a planned commission for the Sami, these ideas have long been maturing in Sweden. They are rooted in the work of the Lutheran Church in the early 1990s to include the Sami in parish life at a time when the Church was preparing to separate from the State. This was done in 2000. In the wake of that, the Sami youth organization Sáminuorra launched a first project in 2007 to work for a truth commission, but without immediate success. 2016 White Paper Momentum increased in 2012 when the Church launched a “White Paper Project on the Church of Sweden and the Sami”. This report, containing two volumes of 1,200 pages, was published in April 2016. Written by several dozen academics, the White Paper reviews the role of pastors, who helped Sweden's colonisation of Lapland from the 17th century onwards, fighting against the beliefs of the Sami - shamanism was fought as a manifestation of evil - and forcibly converting them to Christianity. This White Paper pointed to a lack of profound questioning of the Swedish state, whereas Sami and international bodies like the Council of Europe and the UN rapporteur on indigenous peoples regularly criticise Sweden for failing to ensure that the rights of the Sami in Lapland are respected. The reindeer husbandry practised by the Sami is increasingly threatened by industrial activities developed without consulting them. This White Paper also marked the start of reflections by the Sami and the Tornedalians concerning justice for abuses they have suffered or are still suffering. The Tornedalians, who were quicker to initiate the process, are a less visible and less well-known minority. They were granted national minority status in 1999 at the same time as the Sami, Skogfinns (or Swedish Finns), Jews and Roma, while their languages - Meänkieli, Sámi, Finnish, Yiddish and Romani - were recognised as minority languages.

For the Tornedalians, the idea of a truth commission was born in 2016, at the initiative of their Federation. The Ministry of Culture funded a preliminary study , published in 2018. It explains how the Swedish state, from the 1880s onwards, practised a policy of forced Swedish-ization. It was not until 1957 that the ban on speaking Meänkieli at break time was lifted in Swedish schools. Measuring skulls, one of the most blatant expressions of the eugenics policy practised in Sweden from the 1920s including on the Sámi, was practised until 1951. Since 11 June this year, the Truth and Reconciliation Commission for the Tornedalians, Kvenes and Lantalainen has been in place. It is composed of two historians, a linguist, a minority lawyer from the Swedish Lutheran Church, a researcher in international law and two members of the Tornedalian community. Headed by Elisabet Fura, former Chief Ombudsman of the Parliament and judge at the European Court of Human Rights, the commission is to report on its work by 16 May 2022. The commission is to examine the policy of assimilation and its consequences for the minority, groups within the minority and individuals, disseminate information about their history and submit proposals to help bring about reparation and promote reconciliation. Suicides among reindeer herders. In 2016, the Sami Parliament published a report on Sami mental health, at a time when there were a high number of suicides among young reindeer herders feeling they had no future and seeing their land eaten away by industries. Many Swedes see their country as being of one people, one culture, one history, one language. Not so for the Samis. They are an indigenous people who benefit from this international status, the only indigenous people in the European Union, present in , Sweden, Finland and Russia, with a population estimated at over 100,000. While reindeer husbandry is the hallmark of their culture, only ten per cent of them make a living from it. Sweden's Sami Parliament, set up in 1993 to represent the kingdom's 20,000 to 30,000 Sami (out of ten million inhabitants), organized a round table at the end of 2016 with experts from truth commissions such as Peruvian Eduardo Gonzalez Cueva and Austrian Gerhard Baumgartner. From this consultation came the Sami demand, which proceeded in stages: in June 2019, the Sami Parliament of Sweden sent a request for support for a preliminary study on the establishment of a Truth Commission. In spring 2020, the government allocated SEK 1.2 million (EUR 115,000) for this study. Truth first, reconciliation later. “There is a lack of knowledge of history that also contributes to the racism we see in Sweden today,"
