摘要萨米人对芬兰政府对他们的待遇提出了两种相反的说法：国家未能提供福利服务，以及萨米人是萨米人的殖民者。萨米人的反叙事是根据他们的演变和他们在芬兰国家互动背景下的感知来讨论的。事实证明，殖民叙事取代了福利叙事，很难在芬兰的背景下合法化。尽管它既缺乏外部合法性，也缺乏充分的内部合法性，但它仍然被使用，因为国际公约建立在被殖民人民的自我形象上。此外，最激进的后殖民研究人员选择使用它，部分原因是种族政治原因。芬兰的主要叙事中的许多元素使芬兰殖民主义的想法失去合法性：除其他外，自然边界的想法，被邻国殖民的想法，工业民族主义的悠久历史，以及芬兰作为一个反帝国主义的“好国家”的经济增长和神话构建。对最微妙的学术实践和叙述提出了批评。
Abstract The Sami have articulated two kinds of counter-narratives of their treatment by the state of Finland: the state failing to provide welfare services and as a colonizer of the Sami. The Sami counter-narratives are discussed in light of their evolution and their perception in the interactional context of the Finnish state. The colonization narrative, which replaced the welfare narrative, has proven to be hard to legitimize in a Finnish context. Even though it lacks both external and full internal legitimacy, it is still used because of the international conventions building on the self-imagery of a colonized people. In addition, the most radical post-colonial researchers have chosen to use it, partly for ethno-political reasons. Numerous elements in the master narrative of Finland delegitimize the idea of Finnish colonialism: amongst other things, the idea of natural borders, the idea of being colonized by neighbouring empires, the long history of industrial nationalism and the economic growth and myth-building of the state of Finland as an anti-imperialist “good state”. A critique is advanced concerning the least nuanced academic practices and narratives.
