    I had no Idea who these people were. Found out from a genetic test that I share DNA, and even distant relatives with these folks. Relatives in my family just said we were part Indian (not true) to explain the Asian features. These vids are helping me catch up on my heritage.

    Charlie Tallman Well the ancestors of all Native American people can trace their lineage back to one Siberian woman and a South East Asian man...

    Me too @Charlie Tallman 😊✌ Got a bit surprised in the good sense, when I got the 'My Heritage' answer back! 😁😄 99 percent Norse DNA (no surprise), but 1 percent Sami blood in me from my father's side... It's quite cool that these DNA kit's can tell lineages so many thousand years back! My father's side of the family had pitch black hair and very green eyes, even though I thought they where all a kind of "inbred" Norsemen. 😅😆✌ I lost my father in 2018, but inherited some of his Sami rain deer hide cleaner tools.... I had forgotten about these things, but then I remembered him talking a lot about visiting the Sami people as a young boy. These tales seemed a bit magic to both him and me...

This and other videos has helped us learn about our "people" across the water. Now I understand why I have never been able to handle hot humid weather! ;)

    I didn't inherit the dna from my parents, were mixed, I did inherit the other factors that are in mixed people though, siberian, slavic, Norwegian (ancient dna testing not ancestry.com test) and I have family lore and some clues in paperwork through family tree work.. I have no idea where to get started to learn about finding more 🤦 any one of yourself got any tips at all? I can't claim as if isnt recent provable ancestry, its older but I still wanna know who gave me and my children life and will always advocate for Såmi culture and oppression to stop.. maybe one day I can visit Sapmi to connect by touching the ground and seeing the northern lights.. feel the ancestors rather than try claim them.. I don't think im culturally allowed to claim anything.. I dunno if u can tell but I don't know how to navigate this and want to be as respectful as possible as an outsider.

    Sami are native Europeans, sure, but so are Finns, Swedes, Norwegians, Russians, etc. The ancestors of the Sámi came here to the north some four, five thousand years ago, from the Volga region in the modern day Russia. So, they have similar history as the other native European peoples. All of us came here some thousands of years ago from Asia. Mostly from the Middle-East, some through the Balkans route or through the Caucasus route, some through the longer detour of going first to Central or East Asia and then turning westwards and passing Siberia/Russia to finally arrive to Europe.

    GERMANICWARROR your name does not match your comment, "germanic warriors" like swedish, norwegian crusaders, as well as the old vikings, norse civilisation considered sami and the finnish to be inferior and uncivilised, which probably where the modern mistreatment of samis by scandnavian governments stems from, the sami villagers/nomads occupy resourceful land useful to scandinavian governments which require eviction or defforestation of these ppl, so yes this causes clashes between government and local sami populations i suppose.
