Fotot visar renar på bete. Vem får utöva den samiska renskötselrätten i Sverige enligt huvudregeln år 2026?
The photo shows grazing reindeer. Who may exercise Sámi reindeer-herding rights in Sweden under the main rule in 2026?
Correct answer: A member of a Sámi reindeer-herding community
The reindeer-herding right belongs to the Sámi people and is generally exercised by members of Sámi herding communities. It applies in specified areas with rules including grazing seasons, not freely throughout Sweden.
