  • I was born in the southern hemisphere and have lived in different countries in Europe for many many years. I speak 4 languages and remember a bit of what I learned of native (precolonial culture) from the country I was born in. Although I was born in a different country, my family is Italian on one side and Palestinian on the other. I feel from nowhere.

    My take, people crave identity through whatever can give them a sense of legitimacy and belonging. Vikings are just 300 years of romanticised history, but there is certainly rich culture in it. If you find beauty in the themes and traditions of germanic scandinavia or the sápmi then great! I feel attached for no reason to some cultures and traditions because they “make sense” to me in my view of the world and my values. We do not need certificates for that.
