Abstract

Sámi su narod koji tradicionalno živi na sjeveru Švedske i drugih nordijskih zemalja. Širenjem Švedske u 16. stoljeću započela je kolonizacija tog područja te su Sámima bila oduzeta razna prava i slobode. Bili su prisiljeni raditi u rudnicima, okrenuti se kršćanstvu i asimilirati se u švedsko društvo. Država im je nametnula razne zakone kojima su uvjetovali tko ima kakva prava. Najveću ulogu je imao zakon o uzgoju sobova iz 1886. godine i njegova izmjena 1928. godine, prema kojima su Sámi definirani kao nomadi i samo oni Sámi koji uzgajaju sobove dobivaju prava na zemlju. Švedska je imala i mračnu povijest pokušaja rasnog čišćenja i eugenike. Odnos prema Sámima bio je vrlo nalik na antisemitizam sve do Drugog svjetskog rata. Osnivanjem Sametingeta (parlamenta Sáma) i prihvaćanjem Sáma kao autohtonog naroda, vraćena su im neka prava, ali to ne znači da je diskriminacija u potpunosti nestala. Sámi se i danas svakodnevno suočavaju s rasizmom u svim sferama života. Mediji imaju veliki utjecaj na način na koji Sáme percipiraju u švedskom društvu, ali u njima se rijetko prikazuje istina. Film Sameblod (Laponska krv) iz 2016. godine donosi vrlo realan i šokantan prikaz diskriminacije prema Sámima.

Abstract (english)

The Sámi are people who have traditionally lived in the north of Sweden and other Nordic countries. With the expansion of Sweden in the 16th century, the colonization of the area began and the Sámi lost various rights and freedom. They were forced to work in mines, convert to Christianity and go through assimilation into Swedish society. The state imposed various laws which determined who was granted rights. The 1886 Reindeer Grazing Act and its amendment in 1928 had the biggest influence because these laws defined the Sámi as nomads and only those Sámi who were reindeer herders were granted the right to land. Sweden also had a dark history of eugenics and racial cleansing attempts. The attitude towards the Sámi was very similar to anti-Semitism until World War II. After Sametinget (Sámi Parliament) had been founded and the Sámi were recognized as an indigenous people, they were given some rights back, but this does not mean that discrimination has completely disappeared. Even today, they face racism in all spheres of life. The mass media has a huge influence on the way the Sámi are perceived in the Swedish society, but the media rarely shows the real truth. The 2016 film Sameblod (Sami Blood) portrayed a very realistic and shocking picture of discrimination against the Sámi.
