Arrr, Norway be hatin’ on the Sami! They be sayin' sorry fer tryin' to make 'em all landlubbers!

Arrr, matey! They be shovin' the tongues of the native folk to Davy Jones' locker, shuttin' 'em up tighter than a ship's hold! Their wee ones be sent to them landlubber schools. And that apology? Just a parley without a treasure map to land rights! Har har!

Ahoy, me hearties! Gather 'round, for I be tellin' ye a tale of the treacherous seas of “Norwegianization.” A dastardly scheme, it be, where the tongues of the Indigenous folk were silenced like a ship caught in a storm, and their wee ones were shanghaied into them boarding schools, aye! There, they learned not the tales of their ancestors but the folly of foreign tongues, like fish tryin' to climb a tree!

And lo, when the time came for the grand apology, ye’d think they’d right the wrongs of the past, but nay! They danced 'round the issue of land rights like a scallywag dodgin' a cannonball. Instead of settlin' the matter of the stolen lands, they threw a few kind words, hopin' it would be enough to calm the restless seas. But we know better, don’t we, me mateys? For a mere sorry while the treasure be buried deep ain't worth a hill of beans!
