As a cultural minority in Sweden, the Sami have persevered through centuries of colonization by modernization and industry, all the while clinging to their ancient ways of life. Hundreds of reindeer are being injured, tormented, and slaughtered for profit, convenience, and vengeance by non-Sami and, eventually, even Sami people.
