Sámi sisters led the case, arguing that traditional governance structures were ignored.

Näkkäläjärvi, Sámi leader.

in reply to Libre • • •There's even a term for this. The curb cut effect is when disability-friendly features are used by a larger group than they were originally designed for.
I remember when video captions were thought of as just for the hearing impaired. Now so many people watch with captions on.
