Abstract (Swedish)
This thesis examines how administrative transfers by settler colonial states in nineteenth-century Sweden and Canada contributed to the subjugation of indigenous land use. Using qualitative analysis of historical documents and legal sources, the study reveals the pervasive presence of administrative transfers and their implications. In Canada, the study highlights the imposition of non-physical boundaries on indigenous identity and the hierarchical power structure that reinforced settler control. Similarly, in Sweden, regulations on Sámi peoples' practices and land distribution marginalized indigenous sovereignty. The findings underscore the multifaceted nature of settler colonialism and its objective of removing indigenous populations.... (More)

The study emphasizes the need to address historical legacies, land rights, and indigenous sovereignty, and the research provides valuable insights into the mechanisms of settler colonialism and their associated alienation of indigenous peoples.
