The first part of this study examines how Sámi as a social construction was shaped by the outside world from 98 CE to the mid-19th century.

The sources are discussed with the help of secondary literature based on a constructionist approach, where language and discourse are at the core of shaping our objective reality and knowledge. The analysis of the historical sources helps us to understand our philosophical a priori, the unconscious imprint that is our worldview, our conceptual world, our boundaries, and our colonial heritage.
