1) The document discusses representations of the Sámi people in 19th century Swedish natural scientific works by researchers such as Göran Wahlenberg, Lars Levi Læstadius, Sven Lovén, and Axel Hamberg.
2) These works portrayed Sámi people in exoticized, racist, and condescending ways and placed them lower on an evolutionary scale from savagery to civilization based on factors like dwellings and tools.
3) Such representations positioned Sámi people as the exotic "Other" or "Stranger" outside Swedish nationhood, ideologically justifying later exploitation of Sámi lands for forestry, mining, and hydroelectric projects during Scandinavian industrialization
