He was detained for five days, charged with 'failure to comply with the lawful order of a police officer.'</p><p>"Danilov’s arrest is just one of the latest incidents in a series of acts of harassment against Indigenous activists and rights defenders in Russia in recent years.

The 2012 Russian law on foreign agents, originally created to restrict international funding to Russian NGOs, is now being used to target individuals. Stepan Petrov (Sakha) is the first Indigenous person in Russia to receive the 'foreign agent' label.

Archival interviews and the joik of Maarit-áhkku (dir. Sunná Máret Nousuniemi’s grandmother) unspool as a connective thread across time, inviting the viewer through a portal into this corner of Sápmi. Here, the rhythms of time are set by the daily tasks that assured the survival of those who came before; seemingly mundane chores — carrying water from the river, setting up the sauna, boiling reindeer bone marrow — offer up gifts of memory, music, and Indigenous knowledge.</p><p>"As in Indigenous communities the world over, colonization has profoundly shaped recent Sámi history through stories of loss. Drawing aesthetic inspiration from sources as diverse as duodji (Sámi handicrafts and land-based knowledge systems), the work of David Lynch, Pauliina Peodoroff’s Matriarkaatti (Matriarchy), and the environmentally focused, community-based art of Niillas Holmberg, Jenni Laiti and Outi Pieski, ÁHKUIN presents a melancholy yet playful Sámi story with lessons for a new era defined by giving and receiving."</p><p>Watch:<br><a href="https://www.reciprocity.org/films/ahkuin" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="">reciprocity.org/films/ahkuin</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/S%C3%A1pmi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Sápmi</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/joik" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>joik</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/DCEFF" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DCEFF</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/IndigenousStorytellers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>IndigenousStorytellers</span></a><br><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/IndigenousFilms" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>IndigenousFilms</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/OceansAreLife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>OceansAreLife</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ReciprocityProject" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ReciprocityProject</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Reciprocity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Reciprocity</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/IndigenousFilmMakers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>IndigenousFilmMakers</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/IndigenousWisdom" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>IndigenousWisdom</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ProtectTheSacred" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ProtectTheSacred</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/IndigenousKnowledge" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>IndigenousKnowledge</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Reciprocity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Reciprocity</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/duodji" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>duodji</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/colonization" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>colonization</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Maarit%C3%A1hkku" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Maaritáhkku</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Matriarkaatti" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Matriarkaatti</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Matriarchy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Matriarchy</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CulturalSurvival" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CulturalSurvival</span></a></p>
