“…From the middle of the 1600s, Danish-Norwegian kings' efforts to gain sovereignty over Sámi settlement areas led to an aggressive Christianisation of the Sámi. In Lutheran Denmark-Norway, in which the monarch was also head of the Church, the building of churches and Christianisation were effective ways of marking sovereignty (Henriksen, 2020). The Sámi were forced to dissociate themselves from their religion and, consequently, from an essential part of their culture.…”

“…At the same time, missionary work was mainly carried out in Sámi. Priests were supposed to preach in Sámi, spiritual literature and hymns were translated and in the beginning of the 1800s the process of translating the Bible into Northern Sámi was started (Henriksen, 2020).

The article deals with the representation of the Sámi in the new national curriculum for primary and lower secondary education in Norway. More precisely, it focuses on a specific formulation in the fourth core element of the curriculum for religious education, in which an awareness of Sámi perspectives is presented as part of the diversity competence which pupils are supposed to acquire. Based on a critical analysis of governmental documents dealing with education it is argued that the term ‘diversity’ as it is used in the fourth core element addresses Sámi perspectives in a way that may induce readers to think of the Sámi as one of an increasing number of minorities in an originally Norwegian society. This implication, even if unintended, is highly problematic. It can be interpreted as a violation of both ILO 169, Article 31 and CRC, Article 29 (1), especially since the Sámi are a people indigenous to Norway.
