daid viisodaga ja váldet dan fárrui iežaset servodahkii.
(Mudrooroo 1997: 64.)
Maori servodatdutki Linda Tuhiwai Smith čállá nu
deaivilit mo imperialisma ja kolonialisma oalát biđge
jedje koloniserejuvvon álbmogiid iežaset sosiála gaska
vuođaid, sin jurddašan- ja eallinvuogi, ja biđgejedje ja
juogadedje álgoálbmogiid eallima gaskaneaset: "bones,
mummies and skulls to themuseums, art work to private
collectors, languages to linguistics, ‘customs’ to anthro
pologists, beliefs and behaviours to psychologists"
(Smith 2012: 29). Maŋimuš áiggi sámi servodatdigaš
tallama oktavuođas sáhttá maid jearrat: gullet go luođit
mat leat Tromssa musea vuorkkás Tromssa museii? Gul-
lá go Qvigstad čoakkáldat sutnje ja su árbbolaččaide vai
gullá go sámiide, gullet go sámiid dološ goavdásat Nor-
diska museetii vai gullet go sámiide, gullet go nuorta
sámiid hávddiid dáktebázahusat Oslo anatomalaš insti-
tuhttii, vai gullet go nuortasámiide?
Smith mielas lea dehálaš bajidit ja ovddidit vealahuv
von álbmogiid iežaset jienaid, go historjá ii leat vuostta
žettiin vuoiggalašvuođa birra muhto baicce fámu birra.

The Sami Speak Up
1998s: "The Sami knowledge which
actually is Sami property has been transformed into a
commercial product that can be easily distributed and
sold in order to fulfill the needs and desires of non-Sa-
mi experts, intellectuals and consumers. The expertice
of the Sami themselves is largely bypassed and does not
find an appropriate expression in the dominant discour-
se". (Kailo ja Helander-Renvall 1998: 4.) Elina Helan-
der deattuha seammá girjjis sámi árbevirolaš máhtu:
"In my opinion, traditional Sami knowledge can
be directly compared with scientific knowledge.
The Sami make systematic observations just li-
ke scientists. The knowledge that has been aqui-
red in this manner har remained tied to the Sami
language and mind but has not necessarily been
written down in book form". (Helander ja Kailo
1998: 163.)
Sámi duojár Petteri Laiti dajai jearahallamis seammá
girjjis:
At the same time the non-Sami have been taught
only how to exploit everything. They are so nu-
merous and they have at first destroyed their own
culture; I see them as refugees so much out of
touch with themselves and their own culture that
they are not able to appreciate it. Their own iden-
tity is so weak that when they notice that another
culture is stronger they begin to desire it as a sup-
port for their own identity. At the same time they
have imprisoned their own culture inside mu-
seums and have tied national culture life to them
(for instance national costumes) so that they are
no longer alive. (Helander ja Kailo 1998: 121.)
Hástalus lea oaidnit maid sámi dutkit sáhttet dáinna di-
liin dahkat dás ovddosguvlui. Geavaheatnot liibba háb-
met juoidá mii lea erenoamáš, go sámi girjjálašvuođa
dutkamis ii leat makkár ge sierra stirdon tradišuvdna.
Aistton Nils-Aslak Valkeapää, gii 1998 dajai ovtta jea-
rahallamis ahte sámi girjjálašvuođa riggodat lea ahte das
eai leat rievtti mielde girjjálašvuođa tradišuvnnat, dat ii
leat čadnon vásedin vugiide. Dákkár jurddašanvuohki
buktá vejolašvuođaid sihke čállái ja dutkái.
