Folkeaksjonen mot utbygging av Alta-Kautokeinovassdraget was a Norwegian organisation created on July 12, 1978 to work against the building of the Alta power station in the Alta River.[1] The NGO organised the opposistion against the construction in the Alta controversy, and had at the most 20,000 members. Of these 10,000 actively participated in demonstrations, including the Stilla March. The organisation functioned as a cooperation between environmentalists and sami activists, and not only succeeded at putting focus on environmental issues but also on Sami rights.
After their acts of civil disobedience, the four leaders, Alfred Nilsen, Tore Bongo, Svein Suhr and Per Flatberg (information leader), were sentenced for encouraging illegal acts.
