YOURWAY2NORWAY | How Norway Destroyed My Sea Sami Culture And Identity @YOURWAY2NORWAY | Uploaded November 2021 | Updated October 2024, 1 hour ago.
Based on my broken childhood as native Norwegian I tell the story in a satirical way of the intervention by the Norwegian authorities in all parts of my upbringing. It controlled the way we ate, decorated, washed, cleaned, thought and said – and it crawled all the way into my dreams and believes. All social situations in the family, between me and my granny were poisoned by the Norwegianization. In this hysterical and sarcastic video, you will learn more about five efficient methods that were used to erase the Sea Sami culture.
The Sami people are native, indigenous people of the Nordic countries, including parts of Russia. For several centuries, the Norwegian authorities have pursued a harsh and brutal Norwegianization policy. The goal was for all Sami to become Norwegians and forget, keep quiet and hide their Sami identity, language and religion. Today, only a few groups of reindeer herding Sami have retained their original culture and customs. While my tribe, the Sea Sami, was completely and effectively crushed and ruined after the second World War.
The sad and quite comical thing was that my poor grandmother had to be Norway's representative and police authority when it came to my transformation from a fish loving Sea Sami to a boring and lax Norwegian. Of course, she only had a vague idea of what being a Norwegian was, since she herself was a Sea Sami deep inside. But she tried to fake it as best she could. This is our tribute of her and her struggles.
The consequences of the Norwegianization in my childhood, performed by my loved ones who pretended to be Norwegian were a total mess. I spent my childhood desperately trying to be something me and my family really had no clue about. The result: We never got it right. It just got weird and cringe. This is the hilarious and self-deprecating story of how I was Norwegianized.
In this video full of sketches, Mads is the Norwegian authorities. Which never give us peace. No matter what nice things my grandmother and I do together, Mads comes in and destroys the situations with cruel punishments. Ronald is humiliated with the Norwegian flag and the national anthem. He is beaten, whipped and stabbed. You can see that Mads enjoy playing this authoritarian and creepy role.
