This book provides a comprehensive overview of Sami education in a historical and internationally comparative perspective. Despite the cross-national character of the Sami population, academic literature on Sami education has so far been published within the different nation states in the Sami area, and rarely in English. Exploring indigenous educational history around the world, this collection spans from Asia to Oceania to Sapmi and the Americas. The chapters frame Sami school history within an international context of indigenous and minority education. In doing so, two narrative threads are established: both traditional history of education, and perspectives on the decolonisation of education. This pioneering book will appeal to students and scholars of Sami education, as well as indigenous education around the world.
