We want to publicly acknowledge that the State of Finland is founded on the lands of two peoples, the Sámi people and the Finnish people. We pay our respect and show our support to the Sámi people as the indigenous inhabitants of the Sápmi area, and we recognize their rights as an indigenous people. We recognise and respect their sovereignty, their culture, their custodianship, and their continuing contribution to the life of this state. To their ancestors, elders, and leaders — past, present, and emerging — we say thank you.
This is a tentative example of how to acknowledge the ongoing settler colonization of Sápmi by the State of Finland. If you have comments, don’t hesitate to contact us. More information about the Sámi people and decolonization here and here.
