Reconciliation without the majority: The Truth and Reconciliation Commisson of Norway, Oslo, 4. - 6. mai 2022 Arrangør: VID The Norwegianization policy against the Sami, Kvens, and other minorities that focused on their forceful assimilation at the expense of their identity, language, and culture roughly a century from the 1850s demonstrates an element of Norwegianization.
