Who was Johannes Steen?

Johannes Wilhelm Christian Steen was a Norwegian politician, Prime Minister of Norway from 1891 to 1893 and from 1898 to 1902.

He was born in Oslo and grew up in Vesteraalen.

Steen's final administration was responsible for the 1902 Land Sales Act, that limited the buying or leasing of state-owned land to fluent Norwegian speakers, barring the Saami people from the purchase of their traditional hunting and grazing grounds.
