The Saami Council, a transnational political organization representing the indigenous Saami people native to Sweden, Norway, Finland and Russia, played an instrumental role in the creation of democratically-elected Saami Parliaments in Finland, Norway and Sweden over the past three decades.  It recently recognized that there is still a lack of cross-border coordination between national and Saami parliaments, particularly on traditional reindeer herding and other environmental issues.   To promote cooperation on these issues, the Saami Council has built multiple constituencies across national borders and between indigenous and government organization.
