Talga have freehold land rights over Vitangi 2, to suggest that these are worthless would completely undermine the rule of law in Scandinavia. The Sami people exercise pastoral rights over government land as custodians of their traditional way of life. Last time I looked the Scandinavian forest and the high summer pastures are vast and sparsely populated with plenty of space for all. Talga have been very engaged and pragmatic by offering not to mine during the time the reindeer are in their winter pastures. I looks to me that the Sami are not prepared to share anything at all, even what they do noteven own under property law, which goes against the grain of Scandinavian culture of accomodation.
