From the Shadows of Civilisation and Racist Ideologies Towards Post-assimilation

Reconciliation Through Sámi Education

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Antiracism Education In and Out of Schools

Abstract

In all the countries they live in, the Sámi people have gone through a long period of enlightenment projects driven by church and nationalistic assimilation aspirations—through hidden or more conscious processes. The ideologies behind these pursuits are based on white supremacist notions that the Sámi should be civilised and put under a national state societal organisation. Due to this destructive history of ideologies, there are Sámi generations who have at least partly lost their cultural and special linguistic features. Assimilation has affected the situation of Sámi people and has caused, for example, poverty, mortality, limited access to education, abuse, a lack of self-respect, language shift, loss of culture and neocolonialism. To some extent, these processes have also weakened their cultural identity. Sámi education’s purpose is to resolve a severe phenomenon in Sámi society whereby structural power has challenged everyday practices. Sámi education searches for practice-based institutional education in indigenous knowledge, traditions and cultural context. Sámi education is a means to resolve the legacy of assimilation and, in particular, of language shift. Sámi education based on a mediating role plays an important part in efforts to revive indigenous languages and cultures, aiming to gain wide access to education, health, economics, wellness, political representation and other factors essential to leading a good life. This chapter goes beyond the shadows of colonial practices; love, hope and sharing is intended to resolve the legacy of colonisation. The chapter is based on research material gathered in two phases. One part of the data was gathered in a Sámi school history project, while another part of the research project concerned assimilation among Sámi peoples.
