On 2 March, the Norwegian Minister of Oil and Energy Terje Aasland apologised to the Fosen Sámi reindeer herders, acknowledging that the Norwegian government had violated their human rights. The apology came after demonstrators for several days blocked the entrance to the Ministry. Among the demonstrators was pop singer and actor Ella Marie Hætta Isaksen (picture above).
