- Postcolonial societies around the world still struggle with lingering colonial structures, among them the many official place-names on maps, signs, and in various registers and databases that have largely replaced Indigenous names. In the wake of strengthened minority policy globally, many Western countries today are striving to mend some of the damage that colonial place-naming practices have done, by acknowledging precolonial names and helping to revitalize their usage. However, as place-names are connected to issues of identity and power, especially in plurilingual and multicultural areas, such processes often become complicated.The purpose of this study, then, is to illuminate the meanings and functions of Indigenous place-names in postcolonial settings. It does so through a case study of the proposed implementation of the Ume Sámi name Ubmeje as an additional official name for the city of Umeå in northern Sweden.
