Indigenous Sámi

“Decolonization” has, since Linda Tuhiwai Smith published her critique of Western academic research, been a concept guiding scholars to address the unequal relationship between Indigenous and scientific knowledge. Decolonization is a move toward sovereignty regarding land, recognition of Indigenous ways of knowing, as well as rethinking education. Decolonial thinking is about attending to ontological troubles and about unlearning and undoing colonial ideas, theories, and infrastructures. This entry, speaking from Sápmi (the Indigenous North of Europe), argues that without critically addressing and changing how academic institutions are built, and what counts as academic knowledge, university programs risk reproducing repressive and asymmetrical knowledge production. It revisits the critique of anthropology articulated by Sámi Indigenous students since the 1970s and asks if there are lessons to be learned in order to think otherwise. Such an endeavor calls for a critical investigation of how institutions address the colonial legacy of education and research
