The Lapish People

The Laps of the North I was going to write about olive trees goats and donkeys and ancient stones in the holy land but I keep thinking of reindeer in the Northern Norway not so long time ago the Laps people where not allowed speaking their own language, children, were sent to school to learn Norwegian and forget about their past Needless to say with the best intention, this pathetic attempt to eradicate race`s history failed. The snow and cold stop this advance today the laps are proud of their heritage schools and a University in their in their own language. As for the Palestinians, they have to go on fighting for their right until the world stops this inequity
