The Swedish government just burnt down the goahti of Anita Gimvall, a traditional Sámi hut, as the "ending" of a dispute between her and the local government. Gimvall's family has had goahtis at the premises for 120 years, but the Swedish government only recognises he right to have goahtis for sámis that own reindeer. Gimvall doesn't have any reindeer, and thus is denied her right to keep her culture alive.
