| Summary: | This essay investigates sami thematics within the national school curricula of Sweden, Norway and Finland. It is a comparative essay with a focus on how the Sami are represented, using Olsen’s (2017) theoretical concepts of absence, inclusion, and indigenization. The essay is limited to studying sami representation within the subjects of social science, religion and history. Furthermore, the study aims to find possible causes of variation in the result. The results show that the Norwegian curricula have a broader inclusion of sami thematics compared to the Swedish and Finnish curricula. Additionally, the Norwegian curricula show more content of indigenization than that of the Swedish and Finnish curricula.
