Summary: | The aim of this thesis is to centre three people’s stories, their experiences and un- derstandings of the Swedish planning framework for mining establishments. The sto- ries centred are from Sami people whom in different ways analyses, questions, chal- lenges and changes the diverse expressions of colonialism, racism and capitalism within this framework. Through centring indigenous and decolonial planning this the- sis tries to expose colonial planning practices and how indigenous knowledges, worldviews and perspectives are made marginalised. But at the same time it reformu- lates, reconstruct and reimagines planning where non-Âhierarchical and relational thinking is centred. This thesis is made through guidance of (mainly) indigenous and decolonial theories, methodologies and methods.
