What at first appears to be a simple case of illegal moose bunting is in fact a serious challenge to Swedish Native minority policy. The so-called Vapsten Case confronts the occupational paradigm which divides the Saami into herders, Saami eligible to become herders and Saami who have lost even the right to eligibility. Unfortunately, largely due to these State-imposed distinctions, Saami are pitted against Saami in resource conflicts. A Saami who is eligible to herd might be barred from practicing his herding right by the official members of the herding collective, the Sameby. The issue surfaces again and again and is often submerged in the effort to protect Saami unity; yet, it is only by looking the problem in the eye that true unity can be achieved.
