Nationalism and rights for the Sami people

There's been a discussion in Oslo lately connected to the celebration of Norway's national day, 17th of May. The Sami people want to use their flag in the 17th of May parade in Oslo, but the City Council of Oslo has said no. Only Norwegian flags will be tolerated in the celebration of the national day. It's interesting to observe the fight for symbolic power. There have been two peoples in this country in recorded history. One (the Norwegians) has been dominant in all ways - the language, history writing and cultural symbols. Combined with the ideology of Nationalism we, as Norwegians have been able to establish our culture and symbols as the "natural" for this territory. But is it really? We don't own this land even though we have connected a few symbols and stories to it. I am proud of my heritage, I'm proud of what my forefathers and foremothers have done, but I don't believe that we as Norwegians have a right to dominate another part of the population that have been here as long as us. Should the idea of Norway be connected to nationalistic symbols or should it be about freedom, brotherhood and equality (to use the phrases from the revolution)? To celebrate our freedom, our rights, our heritage I would have loved us to celebrate our national day as two peoples, two flags, united in the values and ideas that made us a democracy. That's what our national day should be about, isn't it?
