Hunting, fishing and gathering were their means of support in former times. Of the animals hunted, the reindeer was an important one. In the course of time the traditional occupation of the changed and became one of working with and following a coherent herd between various pastures. The 's historical use of the land has given rise to a particular right to make use of property: the reindeer management right. The reindeer management right means that a person who is a is entitled to make use of land and water in a particular fashion for the maintenance of himself and his reindeer. The reindeer management right is applicable to the population and is based on prescription from time immemorial. Among other things, rights to reindeer pasture, hunting and fishing are included in the reindeer management right. There is an elaboration on the more detailed purport of the reindeer management right in chapter 2. In accordance with the fourth part of section 2 of chapter 1 of the constitution, the enjoy constitutional protection by virtue of being an ethnic minority. The Swedish Parliament has stated that the in are an ethnic minority that enjoys a particular status by virtue of being the aboriginal population of their own country (prop. 1976/77:80, bet. 1976/77:KrU43, rskr. 1976/77:289). In 1993 the Swedish Parliament inaugurated a special state authority, the (). The 31 members of the are elected by the population. On October 19th 2000, the government decided to appoint a special investigator to review the organisation of the , the (1993:327) and the regulation (1993:327) providing instructions for the (dir. 2000:70). Our task was to submit proposals for a new reindeer management policy that would provide the basis for an ecologically, economically and culturally viable reindeer management. Moreover, we are to suggest, among other things, how reindeer management should be organised in the future, evaluate which tasks the authorities should be given in the future and investigate the relationship between reindeer management and other forms of livelihood that make use of the land area. In order to achieve our goal of creating the conditions necessary for a reindeer management that is culturally, economically and ecologically viable in the long term, we have formulated certain intermediate aims concerning the work on our proposals. In order for the aim to be achieved, we consider that the proposals must clarify the purport and regulation of the civil right, the reindeer management right, on which the villages base their use of land and water. clarify the regulation of the relationship between the reindeer management right and the right of ownership so that the collaboration that has to take place on the local level is based on clear rules regarding the mutual consideration that users of the land are obliged to show to each other. increase the influence of the members of the villages in their own organisations. give the villages and the an increased influence over the administration of reindeer management and the grants and compensations that apply to reindeer management and give all the possibility of becoming members in the village from which they can trace their origins and give the villages the possibility of deciding for themselves the conditions that apply for exercising membership in a village. Our proposals for increased influence for the villages presume that the inquiry into the organisation of the leads to clarification concerning the , both as an authority and as an institution elected by the people. The aims of a new reindeer management policy (chapter 4) Our task has thus been to submit proposals for a reindeer management policy that provides the basis for reindeer management that is culturally, economically and ecologically viable in the long term. We therefore propose three aims for the reindeer management policy. These aims concern culture, economics and the environment. These three aims are mutually interdependent and none of them can be said to take precedence over the others. The efforts of the to maintain and develop reindeer management and other traditional Sami enterprises as a basis for culture, are to be encouraged. An important consequence of this aim is that it is the priorities of the themselves, within the framework that is at their disposal, that are to be decisive with respect to how the state is to formulate various measures of encouragement. has made international commitments that can be viewed as a framework for a cultural aim. By means of these, has undertaken to the prerequisites that are necessary in order for persons belonging to an ethnic minority to maintain and develop their culture and preserve the principal components of their identity, namely religion, language, traditions and cultural heritage. In this context culture has been deemed also to include the traditional use of land by minority groups, for example. As far as possible, the are to have the prerequisites in order to develop and maintain a industry based on reindeer management. As with any other industry, we have presumed that it is the entrepreneurs themselves who are to develop the industry by means of their own decisions.
