Britta Marakatt-Labba (1951) Sami artist. The works The two of us tonight; You went; and You should have stayed.

The death of her father had a huge impact on five year old Britta Marakatt-Labba. He passed away on Christmas eve, hit by a car while he was on the way to his reindeer herd. She revisited the trauma in her works You went and You should have stayed. The grieving family made her very attentive to people's expression of emotions.

(Archive) Christmas Movie of the day: Klaus (2019)

Originally Posted: December 13th, 2021 Christmas really gets the best toys when it comes to animation compared to other holidays, huh? Not only does it get proportionally more but also gets some of the higher quality shorts and movies. It's very materialistic how much they want to sell in "true" spirit of the season. So it's delightful to see one of the best movies on the front, made from an undying passion…is also a movie about altruism.

So…Santa Claus. This is not the first movie to try and talk about the origin of the story(seems people tend to forget he's inspired in Saint Nicholas) this is the first one to do so without magic involved…probably. It's also one that remembers WHY giving gifts to children is such a considerate act. It's an act of selflessness, but not the ONLY act of selflessness from the character nor the protagonist… Jesper. The dynamic between the at first spoiled man child and the brooding gentle giant is entertaining and heartwarming. Not to mention funny, they contrast so much between each other. As played as some of the tropes of this film are, they're presented magnificently thanks to a well rounded script for such a simple aesop: kindness begets kindness.

It also helps that the animation in display is out of this world. Courtesy of Spanish studio, Sergio Pablos Animation, it almost looks like it's 3D despite being hand drawn, frame by frame, old school style. Well, they had to develop some new tech in order to keep the coloring consistent It was worth it the color palette, character designs, shapes of the settings. They all make for a visual delight, ever expressive and bringing the little town of Smeerensburg to life….. as messy and rundown as it is.

I honestly don't think there's much of a downside to this film. It's cute, funny, wholesome, and still delves into the mellow side of the human experience by addressing things like loss so it isn't just sugary fluff. This is a modern Christmas classic through and through.

thinking about all the times i’ve seen people post Britta Marakatt-Labba’s artwork The Crows on social media but they’d cropped it so you could only see the crows gradually turning into men. if you’ve never seen it, The Crows is textile art of crows flying and turning into humans who then turn into police officers who attack a group of sámi people peacefully protesting during the alta controversy in the 1970s and 80s, with burning lavvus (a type of tent-like things sámi people used to live in) in the background. The government sent 10% of their police force to Alta and tried to send the military after the protesters, that’s what the picture is about. people love to remove the political context and only get the aesthetically pleasing parts

Lowland paca

Cuniculus paca

Family Cuniculidae, pavorder Caviomorpha, suborder Hystricomorpha, order Rodentia

Also known as the spotted paca, tepezcuintle, guardatinaja, pisquinte, jaleb, conejo pintado, guanta, majás, picuro, jochi pintado, boruga, tinajo, guartinaja, gibnut, labba, lapa, and lappe.

There is another animal with a similar name, the Pacarana. But these are not the same animal. They simply have similar appearances.

They are mainly quiet and nocturnal. They dig burrows about 2 metres below the surface with usually more than one exit and are great climbers and swimmers.

They will often seek water to escape predation as they can hold their breaths for several minutes.

They are omnivorous and important seed dispersers. They love fruit and will also eat stems, leaves, tubers, roots, nuts, seeds, and herbs.

They will also eat from carcasses to supplement protein. They eat flesh less often than plants though. They lean more towards herbivorous in the wild and omnivorous in captivity, but have been known to eat flesh in the wild.

There is some conflicting information about their social structure with some sources saying they are largely solitary, and others saying that they are monotonous and form small family groups. Caring for young anywhere from 8 weeks to 6 months.

"For long periods of time, the Sámi lifestyle thrived because of its adaptation to the Arctic environment. Indeed, throughout the 18th century, as Norwegians of Northern Norway suffered from low fish prices and consequent depopulation, the Sámi cultural element was strengthened, since the Sámi were mostly independent of supplies from Southern Norway.

During the 19th century, the pressure of Christianization of the Sámi increased, with some Sámi adopting Laestadianism. With the introduction of seven compulsory years of school in 1889, the Sámi language and traditional way of life came increasingly under pressure from forced cultural normalization. Strong economic development of the north also ensued, giving Norwegian culture and language higher status

On the Swedish and Finnish sides, the authorities were less militant, although the Sámi language was forbidden in schools and strong economic development in the north led to weakened cultural and economic status for the Sámi. From 1913 to 1920, the Swedish race-segregation political movement created a race-based biological institute that collected research material from living people and graves. Throughout history, Swedish settlers were encouraged to move to the northern regions through incentives such as land and water rights, tax allowances, and military exemptions

The strongest pressure took place from around 1900 to 1940, when Norway invested considerable money and effort to assimilate Sámi culture. Anyone who wanted to buy or lease state lands for agriculture in Finnmark had to prove knowledge of the Norwegian language and had to register with a Norwegian name. This partly caused the dislocation of Sámi people in the 1920s, which increased the gap between local Sámi groups (something still present today) that sometimes has the character of an internal Sámi ethnic conflict. Another example of forced displacement occurred between 1919 and 1920 in Norway and Sweden. This has been the topic of a recent work of journalism by Sámi author Elin Anna Labba, translated into English in 2023 under the title The Rocks Will Echo Our Sorrow: The Forced Displacement of the Northern Sámi.

In 1913, the Norwegian parliament passed a bill on "native act land" to allocate the best and most useful lands to Norwegian settlers. Another factor was the scorched earth policy conducted by the German army, resulting in heavy war destruction in northern Finland and northern Norway in 1944–45, destroying all existing houses, or kota, and visible traces of Sámi culture. After World War II, the pressure was relaxed, though the legacy was evident into recent times, such as the 1970s law limiting the size of any house Sámi people were allowed to build

The controversy over the construction of the hydro-electric power station in Alta Municipality in 1979 brought Sámi rights onto the political agenda. In August 1986, the national anthem ("Sámi soga lávlla") and flag (Sámi flag) of the Sámi people were created. In 1989, the first Sámi parliament in Norway was elected. In 2005, the Finnmark Act was passed in the Norwegian parliament giving the Sámi parliament and the Finnmark Provincial council a joint responsibility of administering the land areas previously considered state property. These areas (96% of the provincial area), which have always been used primarily by the Sámi, now belong officially to the people of the province, whether Sámi or Norwegian, and not to the Norwegian state"
