ForewordEnglish translation: Simon AldridgeSami school history is the story of the Sami pupils’ encounter with a school of which they knew little or nothing, of parents distraught over having to send their children into an unknown environment at the age of seven and of teachers who shared no common language with their pupils.It is also the story of how Sami teachers, parents, pupils and politicians have fought for a school based on the pupils’ own language and culture. It is the story of the authorities’ stubborn attempts, for a century or more, to wipe out the Sami language and culture, of the efforts, in more recent times, to use school as a means of revitalizing the Sami language and culture in heavily norwegianized areas, and much, much more. This book is a result of a co-operation between very many people. We would therefore like to offer our heartfelt thanks to the writers, storytellers (sources), translators, proof-readers, photographers and artists employed by the publisher. We would also like to thank all the library, archive, museum and school staff who have helped us find material and not least the institutions whose financial contributions have helped us get the book published. They are acknowledged at the back of the book. Sami School History is intended to be a work in several volumes and we hope to be able to publish a book a year for the next few years. The publisher and editorial committee are interested in contacting anyone who can contribute additional information, corrections, accounts, documents or photographs that we can use in later volumes.
If you have anything to contribute, you are welcome to contact the publisher:
