Here in Finland we get news in sami language on TV. I - as a Finn - understand one word here and there. And in comparison, I can understand Estonian language better, basically I can follow well, but miss details. And Karelian language I can understand almost 100% (I actually speak South Karelian Finnish dialect at home).
We got "same-news" here in Sweden too, and also in Norway iirc. Loanwords are easy to recognize, and there are lots of them. But their old words are totally different from my language, of course.
You know if N1c1 haplogroup was inserted into the germanic people of Finland by force? Was it there always from N1c1 eskimo tribes or did Russians bring it into germanic lands? In Germanistan they are just now finishing the germanics off with their usual neanderthal bestiality interbreeding genetic swamping deleterious hybridization it is real genocide :// If you Finns just would still be Germanoids you would immediately start some sort of war against Germany and safe at least some of us …
Im sami. Half of our ancestry is from siberia from same people nenets and other samoyedic and khanty/mansi people came from. This fact was used against us in very racist snd hateful way for long so lots of older sami deny it and even teach their kids to say that we are not asian.. But yeah truth is we were very north asian back in older times and still many of us look lot asian or native american. Now we are all mixed with swedes, norwegians, finns, karelians, russians though, so our original north asian blood and look is fading away. Sami "race" was born from mix of north asian and northern paleo european when north asian people started to migrate to north europe side over ural 4000 years ago. Sami culture replaced the original northern european cultures as they all eventually mixed to us coming from east and to swedes/norwegians coming from south. What is not talked about is that finnic people like finns, estonians, karelians, maris, komis came from some of the early sami leaving the sami culture and mixing and assimilating to indoeuropean farmers and iranians in volga river area. So finnics really talk language from early sami but live culture of indoeuropeans and iranians. Its still taboo to talk about for some reason even though its very obvious😂
Hi, our Sámi relative! I am Khanty/Mansi. There are many myths and misconceptions about our peoples. Let's start with one - Khanty/Mansi are "Asians", "Siberians" etc. Well, actually, we are only partially such. We are also partially Europeans or "white", but Indo-Europeans or other contemporary European peoples have nothing to do with it! Genetic studies have shown that our European "admixture" is very old, coming from times, when agriculture or IE languages weren't spread to Northern Europe. So our European blood is pretty unique for modern world. I believe that also at least part of Sámi European ancestry is very ancient, and you don't "own" it to Scandinavians, Slavs or whatever. Sámi inherently are "partially white plus partially North Asian" peoples just like ours are. And just like many Finno-Ugric peoples, actually. We have mixed origins probably already for thousands and thousands of years. We all have peoples having phenotypes ranging from blonde to black haired.
Thank you for your comment. I am Sámi, and have spent a lot of time trying to understand the origins of the Sámi people, and analyzing what I have found. I firmly believe that the Sami carry most of their European heritage from the people who lived in the country before the Indo-Europeans arrived. Sami and Norwegians have more than 90% common gene mass. The legacy of those who lived in the country is more visible in the Sami language than the Norwegian language, as a large proportion of the Sami language is of unknown origin. Linguists believe these are remnants of languages spoken in the Paleo-European area. There are also remnants of this/these language(s) in Norwegian. Although Norwegians and Sami have had different languages and religions, there have been common markers in lifestyle, clothing traditions and even parts of the religions. It is possible to distinguish typical Swedes, Danes and Norwegians by appearance. Since the ice retreated along the coast first I assume that Norwegians carry more of this specific "old" people in them than our neighbors, with the exception of the Sami, who I actually think carry more of this old people in them than the Norwegians. Let me point out that it is something I believe, not something I know. Call it an educated guess. When other Sámi say that I am trying to erase our Asian heritage, they are wrong. I fully accept that we have some Asian genes. On the other hand, I try to highlight the heritage of the Paleo-European people. The Stone Age people who walked up after the ice. I suspect that many Sámi are more concerned with the Asian heritage because it is what separates them from the Norwegians. Everyone likes to be special in the strange times we live in. I believe that we should love what unites us, and not what divides us.

Sámi people ARE indigenous to NORTHERN fennoscandia. Arrived there much before the finns, russians and scandinavians. They colonized sápmi (northern scandinavia).

My wife's parents are Sami. My father in law looked like if he were dropped into the middle of Mongolia, the Mongolians would not think of him terribly out of place. One video I watched about Sami, spoke of three different Sami groups. So in most of the videos I have watched they say the origin of the Sami was the Ural mountain area. Most of the videos I have watched don't mention a Northern China/Mongolian connection. But even in this video you can see that connection in some of the faces. If someone can help me understand this better, feel free to contact me.
Nie mają nic wspólnego z Mongołami tylko z Ugrofinamii...może tylko tyle że są zazjatyzowani trochę ich rasą ale nie wywodzącą się od Mongołów czy Chińczyków tylko od paleoazjatyckich ludów Syberii typu Niwkowie itp. ale ogólnie to biali ludzie przystosowani do życia na dalekiej północy.
i cant really come up with any sane sounding explanation myself, im sami but look like the most typical north european with green eyes, blonde hair etc. while lots in my family look much more "asian"... i guess it really just depends on the area, and in general we are all mixed throughout the years, especially with paleo-europeans who were the original settlers of these lands, with norwegians having been a good bunch of people for most of the time too
@@jantandersson Actually, when the Delaware colony was originally founded, many of it's inhabitants were Native Finns and Native Laplanders. The Algonquian speaking Nations referred to the Native Laplanders and Finns among the Delaware colony as "the most similar to us, out of all of the Europeans." This is because pre-Christian folk traditions were still being practiced and Swedish cultural assimilation of it's Eurasian groups had only just barely begun.
they actually arrived in northern norway around the same time (if not before) the norwegians arrived to southern norway. The thing is that the sámi stayed in northern norway, while the norwegians started moving north and colonized them. Making sámi people the first people of NORTHERN norway, and since the norwegians colonized the north (and the sámi) and not the other way around. The Sámi people are indigenous
As a metis with a full blooded native ket/evenki/altai/tungusic grandfather mongolians/turks/siberians are both ethnically and culturaly different us siberians have Turks are central asian and mongolians are east asian. Siberians like all indigenous people have been in Russia/asia/europe for millions of yours before the mongolian and turkic peoples. The sami are originally siberian but then mixed with the Germanic invaders. Making a primarily mixed eurasian people. The sami are our northern European siberian brothers
We are still subject to colonization and oppression every day of our lives. Stealing of land and racism has never stopped. The racism and oppression is everywhere and always. This is the best little video in the subject I have ever seen.
I don’t like the term “indigenous.” As if they have some greater claim to Europe than anyone else. “Indo-Europeans” are just as indigenous. Quit using that term to justify the ethnic cleansing of modern Europeans and replacement with Africans.
I feel the same way. It makes it out to be that sami were just minding their business, and then these Europeans came from planet Mars and colonized their land or some nonsense.
No one is using the term indigenous to "justify the ethnic cleansing of modern Europeans and replacement with Africans". They're only using the term to describe the indigenous peoples and their ancient histories. And when complaining about ethnic cleansing, please consider the groups that have experienced exactly that and think about what that experience was really like for them and the effects it's had on their communities.
There are so many woke-minions just looking for every opportunity to say something negative about Europeans and Scandinavians while pushing their immigrant agenda
My biggest question involving the indigenous people. We all are originating from a location. All people were involved in some kind of racism, slavery, lands being stolen. So why aren’t everybody being treated as indigenous because we all are if you really think about it
So did literally every indigenous people in the world. People weren't even living in the Americas until between 10,000 - 20,000 years ago. You have no idea what indigenous means.
@@rheiagreenland4714Indigeneity is a useless concept that’s only deployed to deny the existence of European ethnic groups. Let’s be honest: the only reason the so-called “Saami” are considered “indigenous” is because of their slightly asiatic appearance. If they were indiscernible from fellow Scandinavians there’d be no talk about “the only indigenous people in Europe”. You’re pathetic.
Sad to see how larger groups of people can never leave smaller groups alone !. That happens all over the world . Endangered species!. They deserve respect and should be put on a pedestal as they are an ancient people of Europe ! Even if some are now mixed with other groups!.
Eastern Siberia, Mongolia and North China. Other theories say there maybe other colonization waves from Indonesia, Polynesia and the oldest wave came from Australia.
Mongolian and Mongolia did not exist 20,000 years, so no native Americans are not related to Mongolians only Paleo Siberians have genetic connections to native Americans.
Native Americans are actually closely related to Northern Europeans like Scandinavians as we share the same ancestor the eastern hunter gathers , Native Indians however mixed with people further east befor migrating to America, Scandinavians mixed with farmers another people who came from the area of Ukraine
@@julioalbertoherrera1339 Ahh the Australian aboriginal theory has been debunked as well as the Polynesia theory. The accepted theory is the Ancestors of Native Americans/ Amerindians arrived via land bridge 20,000-17,000 years ago which is more plausible and an accurate theory since many old world animals such as horse and camels also crossed the land bridge from America to Asia and some old world mammals crossed over from Asia to the Americas. One thing wrong with the Polynesia theory,no actual anthropologist date the habitations of the Polynesia islands until 5000-6,000 years mainly by Austronesian seafarer's. Okay so the Americas were already inhabited before 6,000-5,000 years so before the Polynesia were inhabited by Austronesian / Polynesians, the Ancestors of native Americans/ Amerindian were already spread out across the Americas from Chile to Alaska. And 2 luiza women remains found in Brazil was inaccurately labeled australoid this is where the racist Australian theory comes from, trying to erase native American history and presence,update in genetics shows luiza women is the Ancestors of Amerindian and has haplogroups associated with the Americas and native Americans and no relation to Australia. One the first Americans were always in the Americas as always I mean since 20,000 years. The Americas were settled in 3 waves by the first American -Siberian population/ Paleo indian and evolved after thousands of years of separation into native Americans/ Amerindians.
indigenous are not the same as native. native is where someone is from. Indigenous is a people group that have been colonized. Swedes came to southern sweden at around the same time as the sámi came to the northern part. The thing was that the sámi stayed up north, the swedes moved more and more north, expanded. And when they came to the north, the sámi people were already established there. And so they COLONIZED IT. Swedes are native to the central and southern parts of sweden, sámi to the north. Sámi people only claim their part, swedes claim all. Therefore, making swedes not indigenous, and not native to northern sweden (since they colonized it from the sámi) sámi people therefore an indigenous group of people. You didn't even know what the words means, you didn't even know history, yet you pretend you do and speak. It's dangerous. Educate yourself
There was this story of Swedes vs Norwegians and who the Vheking or Vikings were. Vikings were known as “sea warriors” like the Phoenicians or “sea peoples”. Turns out Norwegians were the Vikings, Swedes were more into crafts, artistry, tapestry, music, literature, and development of culture. The Vikings sadly, were about rape, pillaging, and plundering. Likewise, the ancient Finns were slaves to the Swedes. The Wends, or Muscovy Ruse exploited this civilian culture. The Swedes in the 18th century went to war with the Russians Czar Peter the Great. Peter promised freedom for the Finns that helped the Imperial Russians. It worked! The Swedes were horribly defeated by the Russians and lost the territory known as Finland. Czar Peter created this nation as compensation for Finns help in soundly defeating the Swedish Monarchy. Today, many Scandinavians did not know that Swedes treated Finns as secondary citizens. The Finlanders never forgot the help of Imperial Russia under half German, half Russian Peter the Great. That all changed with time and the formation of the Soviet Union. Today, Finns prefer the term Nordic peoples rather than the divisive term, “Scandinavian “ because this term invokes a legacy of a period when certain Scandinavians ruled over the indigenous peoples over northern Artic regions of Alaska, Canada, Greenland, Iceland, Norway, Sweden, Finland, northern Scotland, northern Russia, and northern Siberia.
@@themarxologist The battle axe/corded ware culture came to Scandinavia around 4900 years ago. The Sami came to northern Scandinavia perhaps 1800 years ago. There are many ancient Sami placenames that etymologically are borrowings from proto norse. I.e. there where Scandinavians in northern Scandinavia when the Sami arrived. Additionally, there are traces from an unknown language in Sami. The linguist Luobbal Sámmol Sámmol Ánte calls it Paleo-laplandic. So, apart from Scandinavians, there were a now lost people in Lapland, who the Sami replaced. "Colonization" is only relevant here in the meaning that we have developed the country to a modern industrialized state. And we have done that everywhere. Without it, the Sami would not be able to continue with what they do.
This is how I see it. There are Indigenous Europeans, as in, the modern carriers of pre -European culture. (Noted above ^^^^) But within the context of *each* European country, there is a *First People* . If that makes sense? The Welsh are considered Indo European, therefore, not an Indigenous people. However, they are the *First People* of Britain. The English have never liked that fact. Yet, now as they are also becoming a minority people of Great Britain. I pray they'd be more sympathetic/empathetic under those circumstances. I'd like to see a grander European attitude shift towards it's truly Indigenous minorities as it's ancient first peoples are also becoming a minority within the context of racial diversity in Europe.
The Sami are no different than the rest of us. they certainly are not indigenous. To be indigenous they'd have to have 100% genes from the hunter gatherers. they may have a higher percentage of hunter gatherer genes but its more akin to 25%. thus they are mostly exactly the same as us.
To be indigenous, you have to be descendants of the original inhabitant of some region. It is not synonymous with "hunther-gatherers". For example, mayas are the indigenous inhabitants of Guatemala, and they practice agriculture.
I notice that when ever “the Sami” are mentioned as native to Europe it triggers you prideful thinking Europeans, it bothers that a non white people have link to Europe 🤫😉
@@julioalbertoherrera1339 so according to this they came 4000 years after the Norse. My home place was settled 6000 years ago. No evidence what kind of people, but the tools did not indicate Sami ( I am 1/2 Sami)
@@norseman5041 So it seems there is not a clear answer. I guess they traveled from other place, long time ago, but they kept they tradicional style of life, so they maybe considered _almost indigenous._
They should be in charge of their land and their way of life. It's THEIR tribal lands. Give it back to them. We need to protect them and respect them. My heart hurts for them the same as it does for our (North American) indigenous peoples. We should love and respect them and their cultures. They are our brothers and sisters. Fight the greed and fight for their way of life. For all indigenous peoples.
For me they are ancient celts blood lines from the steps they body structures and hair skin color etc say everything about their genetic code really i think they real close genetics codes speaking to the basque people of Spain they do look a like physically as well everything else
There is a stripe at the coast of the Baltic sea, now made by Stalin part of Russia, whose Name is Samland. It may be the first home of the peaceful Sami. Always they went away North, if they were pressed by strong neighbours.
Sami the admixture of Mongolian, Scandinavian, Slavic Ruse, and the Ket of Northern Russia who are related to Inuits, Greenlanders, and some American Indians.
white skin and blue eye's is asian orgin. albino people fled africa on boats to avoid witch doectors. Thats there are black skinned blonde haired people in Australlia
Over a thousand people with White skin, red or blonde hair, and blue or pink eyes, are born to Black African parents every year in Tanzania alone. Their bodies get parted out as good luck charms. Younger children are worth more, and the longer they scream in pain, the more lucky their body parts are supposed to be. They went to places like Albania and Alba too.

Once you gained a thorough knowledge of their respective histories you’ll begin to understand that the Romans under Caeser never had the interests of any of the inhabitants nor their religion on their minds. It was always a country used for money laundering, weapons sales, and drug smuggling. They funneled that money to Europe and the Caucasus. After the demise of the Ottoman Empire, the coastal enclaves became a Mecca for money laundering, drug smuggling from the East, and funneling wealth from newly established oil rich states from the Middle East. It also became a smuggling haven to transport art and priceless archaeological findings back to Western Europe to be housed in fine museums throughout their capitals and the found gold artworks into gold bars housed in underground bank vaults of Luxembourg and Switzerland.

My wife's parents are Sami. My father in law looked like if he were dropped into the middle of Mongolia, the Mongolians would not think of him terribly out of place. One video I watched about Sami, spoke of three different Sami groups. So in most of the videos I have watched they say the origin of the Sami was the Ural mountain area. Most of the videos I have watched don't mention a Northern China/Mongolian connection. But even in this video you can see that connection in some of the faces. If someone can help me understand this better, feel free to contact me.
Nie mają nic wspólnego z Mongołami tylko z Ugrofinamii...może tylko tyle że są zazjatyzowani trochę ich rasą ale nie wywodzącą się od Mongołów czy Chińczyków tylko od paleoazjatyckich ludów Syberii typu Niwkowie itp. ale ogólnie to biali ludzie przystosowani do życia na dalekiej północy.
i cant really come up with any sane sounding explanation myself, im sami but look like the most typical north european with green eyes, blonde hair etc. while lots in my family look much more "asian"... i guess it really just depends on the area, and in general we are all mixed throughout the years, especially with paleo-europeans who were the original settlers of these lands, with norwegians having been a good bunch of people for most of the time too
Because there is no connection as you think.
If you check out another famous tribe for reindeer herding, the Evens and Evenks, you will understand why Sami looks like Siberian Mongoloid.
How are Sami indigenous but Finns, Germans, Slavs, Celts etc. not?
The finns, Germans, etc have their own states
@@jubmelahtes What the hell does having their own states have to do with them being indigenous or not?
The Sami culture is fascinating. It seems they have suffered a similiar plight as our Native Americans. Thank you for your presentation.
Not comparable in any useful way.

Actually, when the Delaware colony was originally founded, many of it's inhabitants were Native Finns and Native Laplanders.
The Algonquian speaking Nations referred to the Native Laplanders and Finns among the Delaware colony as "the most similar to us, out of all of the Europeans."
This is because pre-Christian folk traditions were still being practiced and Swedish cultural assimilation of it's Eurasian groups had only just barely begun.
They are all beautiful gorgeous reindeer.
I know the reindeer are so adorable and the people are beautiful. I would love to visit but I don't like the ❄️🥶
@@user-jk8ur7sj3t then go in the summer
The Scandinavian girls mixed between Sami and the actual Scandinavian are very beautiful
Not the first people in norway!sami came mutch later
they actually arrived in northern norway around the same time (if not before) the norwegians arrived to southern norway. The thing is that the sámi stayed in northern norway, while the norwegians started moving north and colonized them. Making sámi people the first people of NORTHERN norway, and since the norwegians colonized the north (and the sámi) and not the other way around. The Sámi people are indigenous
Thank you!
Thank you too
As a metis with a full blooded native ket/evenki/altai/tungusic grandfather mongolians/turks/siberians are both ethnically and culturaly different us siberians have Turks are central asian and mongolians are east asian. Siberians like all indigenous people have been in Russia/asia/europe for millions of yours before the mongolian and turkic peoples. The sami are originally siberian but then mixed with the Germanic invaders. Making a primarily mixed eurasian people.
The sami are our northern European siberian brothers
Thousands not millions of years.
That all sounds absurd.
nice talk, thanks.
No, only one language is spoken by tens of thousands, the rest are spoken by a couple thousands, a few hundred and a few are spoken by less than 50
Yeah, and I hope that changes...
We are still subject to colonization and oppression every day of our lives. Stealing of land and racism has never stopped. The racism and oppression is everywhere and always. This is the best little video in the subject I have ever seen.
Colonization and stealing of land my ass. Nothing but lies and privileges.
I don’t like the term “indigenous.” As if they have some greater claim to Europe than anyone else. “Indo-Europeans” are just as indigenous. Quit using that term to justify the ethnic cleansing of modern Europeans and replacement with Africans.
Fact: Sami are indigenous to northern Scandinavia.
@@julioalbertoherrera1339 And non-Sami are indigenous to the rest of Scandinavia.
I feel the same way. It makes it out to be that sami were just minding their business, and then these Europeans came from planet Mars and colonized their land or some nonsense.
No one is using the term indigenous to "justify the ethnic cleansing of modern Europeans and replacement with Africans". They're only using the term to describe the indigenous peoples and their ancient histories. And when complaining about ethnic cleansing, please consider the groups that have experienced exactly that and think about what that experience was really like for them and the effects it's had on their communities.
There are so many woke-minions just looking for every opportunity to say something negative about Europeans and Scandinavians while pushing their immigrant agenda
My biggest question involving the indigenous people. We all are originating from a location. All people were involved in some kind of racism, slavery, lands being stolen. So why aren’t everybody being treated as indigenous because we all are if you really think about it
Just wrong.
Lmao. How? 😂
Interesting
You seem to forget they migrated there like every other European group.
So did literally every indigenous people in the world. People weren't even living in the Americas until between 10,000 - 20,000 years ago. You have no idea what indigenous means.
@@rheiagreenland4714Indigeneity is a useless concept that’s only deployed to deny the existence of European ethnic groups. Let’s be honest: the only reason the so-called “Saami” are considered “indigenous” is because of their slightly asiatic appearance. If they were indiscernible from fellow Scandinavians there’d be no talk about “the only indigenous people in Europe”. You’re pathetic.
Sad to see how larger groups of people can never leave smaller groups alone !. That happens all over the world . Endangered species!. They deserve respect and should be put on a pedestal as they are an ancient people of Europe ! Even if some are now mixed with other groups!.
Sami loud and true.👍
Native Americans indians r related to the Mongolian ppl b cuz we migrated from there long ago.
Eastern Siberia, Mongolia and North China. Other theories say there maybe other colonization waves from Indonesia, Polynesia and the oldest wave came from Australia.
Mongolian and Mongolia did not exist 20,000 years, so no native Americans are not related to Mongolians only Paleo Siberians have genetic connections to native Americans.
Native Americans are actually closely related to Northern Europeans like Scandinavians as we share the same ancestor the eastern hunter gathers , Native Indians however mixed with people further east befor migrating to America, Scandinavians mixed with farmers another people who came from the area of Ukraine
@@julioalbertoherrera1339 Ahh the Australian aboriginal theory has been debunked as well as the Polynesia theory. The accepted theory is the Ancestors of Native Americans/ Amerindians arrived via land bridge 20,000-17,000 years ago which is more plausible and an accurate theory since many old world animals such as horse and camels also crossed the land bridge from America to Asia and some old world mammals crossed over from Asia to the Americas. One thing wrong with the Polynesia theory,no actual anthropologist date the habitations of the Polynesia islands until 5000-6,000 years mainly by Austronesian seafarer's.
Okay so the Americas were already inhabited before 6,000-5,000 years so before the Polynesia were inhabited by Austronesian / Polynesians, the Ancestors of native Americans/ Amerindian were already spread out across the Americas from Chile to Alaska. And 2 luiza women remains found in Brazil was inaccurately labeled australoid this is where the racist Australian theory comes from, trying to erase native American history and presence,update in genetics shows luiza women is the Ancestors of Amerindian and has haplogroups associated with the Americas and native Americans and no relation to Australia. One the first Americans were always in the Americas as always I mean since 20,000 years. The Americas were settled in 3 waves by the first American -Siberian population/ Paleo indian and evolved after thousands of years of separation into native Americans/ Amerindians.
you forgot the basques, their language is also of non Indo-European origin.
Only the Innu Greenlanders, Basque, Finnish, and Saami are considered modern carriers of pre Indo European culture.
I am Sami Norwegain My DNA is half Mogilian
I'm Sami and my DNA is from Baltic, Sweden, Norway and Denmark.
These people are not indigenous. Stop the cap.
indigenous are not the same as native. native is where someone is from. Indigenous is a people group that have been colonized.
Swedes came to southern sweden at around the same time as the sámi came to the northern part. The thing was that the sámi stayed up north, the swedes moved more and more north, expanded. And when they came to the north, the sámi people were already established there. And so they COLONIZED IT.
Swedes are native to the central and southern parts of sweden, sámi to the north. Sámi people only claim their part, swedes claim all.
Therefore, making swedes not indigenous, and not native to northern sweden (since they colonized it from the sámi) sámi people therefore an indigenous group of people.
You didn't even know what the words means, you didn't even know history, yet you pretend you do and speak. It's dangerous. Educate yourself
There was this story of Swedes vs Norwegians and who the Vheking or Vikings were. Vikings were known as “sea warriors” like the Phoenicians or “sea peoples”.
Turns out Norwegians were the Vikings, Swedes were more into crafts, artistry, tapestry, music, literature, and development of culture. The Vikings sadly, were about rape, pillaging, and plundering. Likewise, the ancient Finns were slaves to the Swedes. The Wends, or Muscovy Ruse exploited this civilian culture. The Swedes in the 18th century went to war with the Russians Czar Peter the Great. Peter promised freedom for the Finns that helped the Imperial Russians. It worked! The Swedes were horribly defeated by the Russians and lost the territory known as Finland. Czar Peter created this nation as compensation for Finns help in soundly defeating the Swedish Monarchy. Today, many Scandinavians did not know that Swedes treated Finns as secondary citizens. The Finlanders never forgot the help of Imperial Russia under half German, half Russian Peter the Great. That all changed with time and the formation of the Soviet Union. Today, Finns prefer the term Nordic peoples rather than the divisive term, “Scandinavian “ because this term invokes a legacy of a period when certain Scandinavians ruled over the indigenous peoples over northern Artic regions of Alaska, Canada, Greenland, Iceland, Norway, Sweden, Finland, northern Scotland, northern Russia, and northern Siberia.
@@themarxologist The battle axe/corded ware culture came to Scandinavia around 4900 years ago. The Sami came to northern Scandinavia perhaps 1800 years ago. There are many ancient Sami placenames that etymologically are borrowings from proto norse. I.e. there where Scandinavians in northern Scandinavia when the Sami arrived. Additionally, there are traces from an unknown language in Sami. The linguist Luobbal Sámmol Sámmol Ánte calls it Paleo-laplandic. So, apart from Scandinavians, there were a now lost people in Lapland, who the Sami replaced.
"Colonization" is only relevant here in the meaning that we have developed the country to a modern industrialized state. And we have done that everywhere. Without it, the Sami would not be able to continue with what they do.
You can't even define those things. They are. Almost no one else is though.
@@JohnDove-d8d Webster's got the definition. Shut up.
Some Sami look more White while others look more Eskimo and some look like Whasians yeah.
How long before they tell us black people were there first?
They were not. The eldest pre-Indo European Indigenous Europeans are Iberian, Inuit Greenlanders, and East Asian related in Northern Europe.
This is how I see it. There are Indigenous Europeans, as in, the modern carriers of pre -European culture. (Noted above ^^^^)
But within the context of *each* European country, there is a *First People* . If that makes sense?
The Welsh are considered Indo European, therefore, not an Indigenous people.
However, they are the *First People* of Britain.
The English have never liked that fact. Yet, now as they are also becoming a minority people of Great Britain. I pray they'd be more sympathetic/empathetic under those circumstances.
I'd like to see a grander European attitude shift towards it's truly Indigenous minorities as it's ancient first peoples are also becoming a minority within the context of racial diversity in Europe.
The Sami are no different than the rest of us. they certainly are not indigenous. To be indigenous they'd have to have 100% genes from the hunter gatherers.
they may have a higher percentage of hunter gatherer genes but its more akin to 25%.
thus they are mostly exactly the same as us.
To be indigenous, you have to be descendants of the original inhabitant of some region. It is not synonymous with "hunther-gatherers". For example, mayas are the indigenous inhabitants of Guatemala, and they practice agriculture.
I notice that when ever “the Sami” are mentioned as native to Europe it triggers you prideful thinking Europeans, it bothers that a non white people have link to Europe 🤫😉
@@julioalbertoherrera1339 so according to this they came 4000 years after the Norse. My home place was settled 6000 years ago. No evidence what kind of people, but the tools did not indicate Sami ( I am 1/2 Sami)
@@norseman5041 So it seems there is not a clear answer. I guess they traveled from other place, long time ago, but they kept they tradicional style of life, so they maybe considered _almost indigenous._
Why don't you start with 100% of Neanderthal?
They should be in charge of their land and their way of life. It's THEIR tribal lands. Give it back to them. We need to protect them and respect them.
My heart hurts for them the same as it does for our (North American) indigenous peoples. We should love and respect them and their cultures. They are our brothers and sisters.
Fight the greed and fight for their way of life. For all indigenous peoples.
For me they are ancient celts blood lines from the steps they body structures and hair skin color etc say everything about their genetic code really i think they real close genetics codes speaking to the basque people of Spain they do look a like physically as well everything else
I wonder if they listen to ABBA and a-ha 🎧
Of course they do

Native europeans.
All Europeans are natives. If someone think otherwise, it's because of desinformation on the net.
They are no more native than any other European ethnic group.
There is a stripe at the coast of the Baltic sea, now made by Stalin part of Russia, whose Name is Samland. It may be the first home of the peaceful Sami. Always they went away North, if they were pressed by strong neighbours.
Sami the admixture of Mongolian, Scandinavian, Slavic Ruse, and the Ket of Northern Russia who are related to Inuits, Greenlanders, and some American Indians.
most of that are out dated speculations
Absurdity.
2:35 this isnt true, the saami is takign the word back, i know many who call themselves "lapps".
😂 The Indigenous peoples of Europe are Germanic, Celtic, Slavic, Baltic, Italic, and Hellenic peoples
no not only
No those people have their own states so they're not indigenous. They are however native
white skin and blue eye's is asian orgin. albino people fled africa on boats to avoid witch doectors. Thats there are black skinned blonde haired people in Australlia
sub 70IQ take on ethnicity. Thanks, no thanks.
Over a thousand people with White skin, red or blonde hair, and blue or pink eyes, are born to Black African parents every year in Tanzania alone.
Their bodies get parted out as good luck charms.
Younger children are worth more, and the longer they scream in pain, the more lucky their body parts are supposed to be.
They went to places like Albania and Alba too.

@@staggeringdeath8479you actually believe that?

Sami are just mixed race (scandinavian/mongolian)
Not mongolian but Siberian
Northern paleo european and north asian mix
So like any other European culture? People have migrated forever, there are noe "pure races"
@@david82633yes, there are pure races. Like, Lithuanians or Polish peoples are some examples of pure Europeans. Go travel there, see for yourself. And there is nothing inherently bad about being "pure", just like about being "mixed". We all are humans, ok?
What area are "white" people indigenous to?
This history is comming back with the refugees in scandinavia now the scandinavian goverment should be accountable this and dragged to European court

Nope.
@@JohnDove-d8d pretty close I you look at the migration region of the sami in Russia, and compare it to the region of the bering strait crossing its a mostly, sami tribes mixed in the migration.
@@Civilwar.relics No evidence for that. Pure speculation. That interjection only serves to confuse people.

From the river to the sea all this talk about water i have to pee..
Well,for a start you spelt Palestinians wrong.....
History of Indo European conquests, colonialization, or the British mandate over the Irish in Northern Ireland and the Balfour Treaty. Using and inciting Zionist Germans to immigrate to Palestine. Most of these immigrants having ties to large banking and financial institutions of the Old World networks of slave trading, opium drug smuggling, and weapons production and sales. Once you gained a thorough knowledge of their respective histories you’ll begin to understand that the Romans under Caeser never had the interests of any of the inhabitants nor their religion on their minds.
It was always a country used for money laundering, weapons sales, and drug smuggling.
They funneled that money to Europe and the Caucasus.
After the demise of the Ottoman Empire, the coastal enclaves became a Mecca for money laundering, drug smuggling from the East, and funneling wealth from newly established oil rich states from the Middle East. It also became a smuggling haven to transport art and priceless archaeological findings back to Western Europe to be housed in fine museums throughout their capitals and the found gold artworks into gold bars housed in underground bank vaults of Luxembourg and Switzerland.
