Scholarship of Indigenous residential school systems is complex, fraught with cultural trauma, and receiving renewed public attention due to numerous global discoveries of mass child graves upon identified boarding school sites. Though Indigenous residential schools operated in several countries, Finland’s scholarly treatment of Sámi students in residential school systems in the late 19th and early 20th centuries is uniquely situated within the history of Indigenous education. The Sámi population can be found in Sweden, Finland, Norway and Russia, with several of these countries having made official statements regarding treatment of Sámi within government-run schools. However, some historians appear to reject ideas that portray Finland as coloniser or oppressor to the Sámi people through this educational cultural hegemony. Extant scholarship presents conflicting accounts of Sámi experiences within Finnish boarding schools. Using past publications as primary sources, this article utilizes narrative inquiry as a methodology to analyse scholarly studies of Indigenous residential school experiences in Finland, explores concepts and implications of Finnish racial exceptionalism and white innocence and finally, predicts future historiographical trends in a field increasingly moving towards the decolonization of Indigenous cultural memory.

History curricula are shaped by factors such as historiography, pedagogical ideals, political goals, international initiatives, and broader societal conditions and processes. This article examines ideas about purposes, content, and methods, of history education, in history curricula that were used in Swedish and Norwegian theoretical upper secondary schools between 1920 and 1960. These schools aimed at preparing students for university studies and providing general education (Bildung). While having close connections to academic disciplines, these schools were also influenced by political goals of democratization and ideas of progressive pedagogy. There are tensions in the curricula between material aspects of Bildung, focusing on content, and formal aspects of Bildung, focusing on students’ development. Although material aspects remain essential, formal aspects are increasingly emphasized through individual projects, student interaction, more active use of historical sources, and, in the latest Swedish documents, critical thinking. Limitations of progressive methods are also acknowledged. The Norwegian and Swedish curricula differ in attitudes to nationalism and the state. These differences can be explained by different starting points for nation-building and differences between Norwegian and Swedish historiography. There is a more dramatic shift in the Norwegian curricula, from a highly teacher/material-centred approach, to an ideal of active and independent students.
