The most intense period of acculturation in Norway was from 1851 to 1959. In this period the idea of “Norwegianisation” was a leading ideology based on social-Darwinistic ideas of ethnic Norwegians’ racial superiority, and the importance of nation building with monocultural norms [27–31]. The latter was particularly important in the rebuilding period after WWII . Today the majority of Sami live well integrated life as part of the Norwegian society. This is also the case for those who are self-identified as Sami and choose to participate in Sami culture and politics .
