This subject is concerned with the Sami people''s historical development in their encounter with other peoples and with the state authorities from the Middle Ages to the present, with specific focus on issues concerning identity, ethnic conscious-raising and inter-ethnic relations. There will be an emphasis on description and analysis of reciprocal and self-representations ("pictures"), minority and ethnic policies, backgrounds to these categories (as "indigenous people" in the case of the Sami and as "immigrants" in the case of the Kven) and the expression "a multicultural society".
