| Summary: | The main focus of this study has been to, with the use of a comparative curriculum analysis study the official swedish approach on the Sami people, and thereby the approach on human rights, ethnicity, national identity and citizenship. Moreover the study has aimed to compare the Swedish approach with the Norwegian and Finnish approach to se similarities and disparities on both the Sami people and above stated concepts. The results show that the countries treat the Sami people differently in their curriculums, both when it comes to quantity and quality. Sweden views the Sami as a minority amongst others, the same can be said for Finland. Norway on the other hand views the Sami as a unique group. The Swedish view on citizenship is international, the Norwegian national and the Finnish global. When it comes to national identity and ethnicity both Sweden and Finland has a rights-based approach while Norway has a culture-based approach.
