Thank you very much for this video. I am Sami myself. I have studied Norwegian history, and have read everything there is to learn about older Sami history. In most videos about the Sami, it is claimed that the Sami migrated in 2-3000 years ago, which is wrong, since Sami ethnicity arose there, as you so correctly confirm. The Sámi are still living today with a quiet and gradual Norwegianization, through the loss of land, language and culture. Most decent people in Norway accept the Sami's right to their ancestral land, but a few individuals are very loud, and other people believe the old myths they spread despite being disproved by modern research decades ago. It's exhausting, and I've missed a video like this, where you get into the Sami's status as a mixed people with a connection to the Stone Age people. Thank you very much!
@@ahkkariq7406 god damn it you are brainwashed. Sami have been in Finland and russia for 4000 years, in Sweden and Norway for 2500 years. The only native part of their dna is they share part of their mitocondrial dna with the Swedes and Norwegians. As it mostly is men were most mobile and if they were succesful they came to mix with the women allready living there.
My farmor was Saami. I was very skeptical about watching this video, but pleasantly surprised. I will be sharing this video on Facebook in my account and in at least one Saami group, as well as elsewhere.
Yeah, tell me about it! My mind boggles - where on earth do people get these false/fake time frame estimates from. As I understand it, it was about 2000 years ago when proto-Saami developed into separate Saami languages. It was 3000-3500 years or so ago when Uralic language was a stronghold (?) But language development time estimates are not the yardstick, nor the proof of how long Saami and/or Uralics had been here, that is the dna story, which is altogether different and goes back to 10 000+ years in Fennoscandia.
They are not indigenous. They are colonizers. They treated us much worse than we treated them. Africa occupied parts of Europe for 800 years. Europe occupied parts of Africa for 80. Might makes right is the story of humanity.
One of my grandfathers was Sami. The bit about diet rings a lot of bells with me. All my life, I had trouble with my digestion until I went on a keto/carnivore diet -- beef, butter, bacon, eggs, cheese, and seafood, preferably from northern waters. No more carbs. Also no more weight or blood pressure issues, no more hyperinsulinemia, or digestion problems, and no more catching every rhinovirus passing through the area.
I also know one Sami whose grandfather lived over 90 being mostly on meat/fish diet and was active till death with no health issues. As populations are mixing more and more these days evolutionary useful traits for different environments are also mixed. So we need to experiment more to find out best solution for our individual diet. There are research that since people started growing grain 9000yo our sugar and fat metabolism genes has evolved along diet change. One might expect that in populations where that diet change didn't occur metabolism also didn't change.
@@marsilt Yes, I have been thinking along those lines for a few years, now. My other grandfather was half American Indian and half p-Celtic Welsh, so between two grandfathers, my heritage is mostly hunter-gatherer.
@@marsilt Interestingly, the poor American south ate very much the same as the things listed, less fish and larger variety of wild game. None of the men of my family from Arkansas were ever fat. No uncles or cousins, father or grandfather. When I was young I tried hard to gain weight, I played football and needed it, but really never could. My metabolism has always run high. The only issue though, a large percentage of the men also had hypertension. No other issues, just that one stat. My father used to say it was because we had ferrari hearts and most Americans had pinto tempo hearts. Most all of them were smokers, so I avoided that one. At fifty I'm as healthy as anyone I know. My father has chainsmoked now for around sixty years and still cooks with lard. He does not however, do any sweets outside of holidays or if someone gifts him a pie. He's now 78. Between he and I there has been just one single overnight stay in a hospital. One. That was me, when they needed to put me out to remove a kidney stone.
My wife is Etonian. Looks like Sami though. She has a problem with Lactose. Like many northern people. Maybe she should switch here diet. Living in Germany causes her lots of problems with pollen allergy. In Estonia she doesn’t have that problem..
I live in Sweden. My late husband's great grandmother was full Samí. Many look Asian, many look caucasian. Many have asian features and blonde hair and blue eyes. I think they are the most beautiful.
When i look at the pictures of the people in this video i'm pretty sure i am related to them. Never did a dna test yet but i'm starting to get very curious now.. 😊 Born & raised in the Netherlands
I think the ancients in Western Asia were fairer than many in modernity realize. Even the oldest Egyptian doll in existence has blue eyes (the tribe who built dynastic Egypt migrated down into N Africa from the western edge of the Asian Levant).
I suspect the Sami and the northern Asiatic peoples stretching from Northern Scandinavia across Siberia to the east and Greenland to the West. Then down into the Americas. Modern maps are warped around geopolitical units created by invasion and colonisation. The loudest people are so fixated on race, but what we think of as racial differences are environmental ones.
What I have read from a DNA perspective is that they are Eurasians. The mitochondria is mostly European and the y dna is Asian. Lets face it historically people of all ethnicities have been discriminated against if they don't have settled communities. Governments seem to get nervous when people are self-sufficient and move around a lot.
Apparently we are born 4000-3000 years ago from east siberian neo siberian tribes migrating to west siberia and europes side and mixing with steppes people along the migration and northern paleo europeans. Really just siberian european mix. Not a mystery people haha😂 people love to call us samis genetics mystery for some reason but we are not. Yakutia Lnba migration look it up. The first neo siberians i suppose. People migrated from manchuria china to yakutia area in east siberia around time when native american left to americas side. Then 4000 years ago following the seimaturpino people for trading they traveled to central and west siberia. Some continued to europes side all the way to finland and north west russia and mixed with locals and steppe folk along the travel. That group became us sami. The tribes that split to stay in asia side became the nenets, enets, nganasan, selkup and they did not mix to white folk so much. Many modern Sami look very white because they dont really have much sami blood anymore due to marrying our whiter neighbours so many generations. Some families still look like old time sami though with heavy siberian appearance Full blooded sami were 30-60% east north asian and look like mixed native american white or mixed east asian white children. But now we are all mixed with our modern white neighbours too and full genetic sami sami do not exist. We are all partly something else than sami now. Sami finn mix myself
Modern Sami are 20-40% siberian depending of person but thats lowered because of marriages with norwegians, swedes, finns and russians. Old time "full blooded" sami were 30-60% siberian. We are truthfully very white washed nowadays and racially near extinction
Always interested in information about the Sami. I'm American. My father is 100% Norwegian, ethnically, but something is a bit off. Instead of being a tall, blue-eyed blond - he is short, wiry, black haired, black eyed, swarthy skinned and has an epicanthic fold. I have one photo of him, when he was young - which - if labeled "Ojibwe" Child" or "Cree Child" would raise no eyebrows. This gene predominates in at least one person every other generation and shows in many others. My father's grandmother looked Chinese. Some old photos of Sami look exactly like members of my family. Every family reunion (hundreds gather - every year), we joke about the Chinaman in the family tree. As time went by - we began to wonder if there was a Sami gene in the family tree, however, both sides of my father's family are from Southern Norway, grandfather's side from Sandness area in Rogaland, and grandmother's side from Hallingdalselva - Fla, Gulsvik, and related areas. As these were both, roughly, in southern Norway - I couldn't see how this could be related to Sami. Just recently, however, I read about an archeological dig near Fla (8 miles away - if memory serves) of a Sami encampment. The article stated there were two types of Sami, "Sea" Sami, of the far north, and "Mountain and Forest" Sami who settled well into southern Norway - keeping to the mountains. The article also stated these Sami were assimilated much earlier than the "Sea" Sami, many taking over farms after the Black Death killed off many in Norway from 1350 to about 1550 - and that names like "Odegard" were an indicator of people who had taken over an abandoned farm. I have checked my grandmother's family back as far as I am able, but working with names only - I am unable to locate indicators of a point when Sami may have become part of the family. One other thing, I have a sister-in-law who is descended from an American immigrant family who were Sami from northern Norway. However she is what she refers to as "White" Sami - white blond hair and very light complected - whereas we are "Dark" or "Black" Sami.
@CarlEastvold I am so glad you've been able to trace so well. At end of times as we know it truth of us comes forward. I am Caucasian, green eyed and 1/4 Onondaga/Susquhannoc. I do not burn in son, have facial features of mixed blood/native. Keep looking you'll find more truth.
Very interesting. With time and more evolved dna analysis, you'll find more answers (as well as questions). I'm American and both my parents have a large share of Norwegian ancestry. From Telemarken and from Lunde. My son did a dna test and found he had dna from a specific area i Siberia, from my ancestry, not his father's which is Greek- Bulgarian. This video is inspirational.
@ My grandmother’s family immigrated to Northern Wisconsin about 20 minutes from the Sami heritage center in Duluth Minnesota.I’ve wondered if they were escaping persecution, so she wanted that kept a secret. My other grandmother was French Canadian . Her family went back to the early 1600’s. There had to have been Sami somewhere else as well.
My wife is Native American, and loves the movie Frozen 2. She especially liked the Northuldra people since there were a lot of similarities with her ancestral native culture. When I told her about the Sami, she was fascinated. Disney had consulted with Sami people when making the movie.
I just left a comment inquiring about the Native American connection AND another Native American Ancient Marker that is somewhere in the area of the Mideast to Near East or even Turkey "?" (I've forgotten exactly where it originated) In my DNA, I share a value through AdMix with the Iroquois (they have some Basque AdMix) I'm largely Irish (American) lineage of Counties Kerry and Cork, and (we are of Basque Origin). Then through my Paternal Great Grandmother "Cherokee" Eastern Band. Mom drifted, "lol", Dad was only half Irish. 🇮🇪 ☘️ 🏹 Beth Bartlett Sociologist/Behavioralist and Historian
From Palestine we love you Sami people. We the indigenous have our own culture, heritage, and history. It's sad in 2025 to still be under oppression! Till this day we both are not given our rights, but as long as we keep our identity, we will never be defeated. Thanks for all the free spirits out there that defend the rights of indigenous people.
You can't compare this! You don't have nothing in common with people who lived in - what we call now - Palestine 1000, 2000 or 3000 years ago. They were not Muslims, they did not speak Arabic and their DNA was different. What happend in Palestine happend in all the region there: Syria, Lebanon, Turkey, Iraq, etc.: it was always another group who ruled there - and people who lived there had to submit or had to go (Kurds, Greeks, Armenians, Isrealites, Druses, etc)
@@epona1525 This is simply not true a single bit! Palestinians today share the same genes of native population from 6000=9000BC. Yes they were not muslims or christians nor did they speak arabic...but this is all human history! People and culture evolve but they are the same people. They spoke Aramiac which is a sister language of Arabic, and Actually in this region(levant) Northern Arabic came to exist. As of religon nations changed religion throughout history. Finally you can see many Palestinian traditions from Canaanite era like cuisine, music, vocab and even fashion! Don't try to water down any native population...Yes nations change language and religion but they keep heritage and I have seen it in many countries like Ireland, Egypt, Basque, and Japan.
@@epona1525 That is a lie! It has been genetically proven that Palestinians are related to the Canaanites. They have been there thousands of years and are indigenous to the area.
This video completely overlooks the persecution of the Sami people by the Christian Church. Sami religious artefacts were systematically destroyed and their religious culture oppressed.
The christians did that to everyone. People like to pretend it's a religion of peace, but its history is all extremely bloody conversion by the sword, oppression, destruction, and brutality.
@@RuneBrsj-zm7vi The Sámi people are considered one of the indigenous groups of Scandinavia, but whether they were the first settlers is a bit more complex. Evidence suggests that people migrated to Scandinavia after the last Ice Age, around 11,000 years ago. These early settlers were hunter-gatherers, and it's possible that the Sámi culture evolved from some of these groups over time. Archaeological and genetic evidence indicates that the Sámi are linked to ancient hunter-gatherer populations in northern Europe. They developed their distinct culture and way of life over thousands of years, centred around reindeer herding, fishing, and hunting, in what is now Norway, Sweden, Finland, and Russia’s Kola Peninsula. However, other groups also migrated to Scandinavia, including early Germanic-speaking peoples who settled further south. So, while the Sámi are among the earliest and longest-surviving inhabitants of northern Scandinavia, it's not entirely clear if they were the absolute first people there. Their history and identity as an indigenous people, however, are deeply tied to the region.
This sounds exactly what was done to the American Indians, forcibly removing the children to Missionary schools and trying to erase their language & culture. Thank you so much for this video.
That allways happened all over the globe to all conquerred people....dehumanising! Look into every people's history and still going on. Dehumanising!.... not looking in the eye, not speaking their language, not recognising their traditions and folklore, ruling over them with harsh methods, letting them do all the dirty heavy work noone else wants to do for any price. So many people suffered under these restrictions. And still do. We call ourselves: 'Homo Sapiens Sapiens'. Yes, twice 'sapiens'. The ultimate arrogance! Just 'Homo' is more then enough. And all our ancestry too, please. All included. Because all contributed to our existence here now. They roamed the earth. They fought against horrible fauna and cleared away many of them so we now can thrive unhindered. Learned to live on and use the benefits of the flora. Learned about the waters, the skies, the lands. In my opinion, we as the latest more 'civilised' (while living in cities) and educated (first only the 'elites' and since a few hundred years also the lower classes) encountered the last living archaic ancients and wrote about them in their scriptures. Mostly with names starting with 'H', wich allways has to do with a 'human'.
I’m of the Sámi from my mother’s side. My dna is from Northern Lapland in Finland and Finnmark in Norway, with percentage of Siberian genes which is common in the Sámi people. After investigating my genealogy, I have relatives in Sámi families throughout the Sápmi, excluding the Kola Peninsula in Russia.
I'm from Scotland (northern) , a group of us did DNA tests for an American clan society, which revealed two ingredients, Celtic (dominant) and Finnish, or Sami. The ice caps extended over Scotland, and melted at the same time as the Sami moved over Scandinavia. I know my statement will have kick back from those who don't want to hear it, but it can't be helped, of a group of 12 of us, I was typical, 88% Celtic, 12% Finnish (or Sami). My DNA is linked to Canadian Indians and Eskimo. I have no viking / Germanic connections. I was expecting at least some viking. Apparently in southern Scotland the Sami connection isn't so strong
sorry, but the timeline does not add up. your Finnic/Sami ancestry is likely due to some recent introduction. i understand you dont want to hear this, but it cant be helped.
Your Sami DNA is probably the part of the Sami heritage from the mesolithic era, when the Stone Age people wandered up along the ice, across Doggerland to Scandinavia and the British Isles. Don't listen to those who reject your theory. Many people do not realize that the Sami have a much older heritage in Europe than they think. They imagine that the Sami migrated in 3000 years ago, which this video rejects.
@ I'm happy enough what you say, but the DNA of myself and 11 others is saying we are Celtic / Finns. I cant change that. 12% is a large number, and a good friend of mine from the west coast (I'm north east) has 92% Celtic, 8% Finnish. Scotland is on the edge of Europe, we aren't like Hungary Germany, France, England or even Ireland with a much bigger mix of peoples. Scotland is one of the least fertile countries in Europe, our landscape is like northern Scandinavia, so there was never much to blunder for anyone looking in.
You were expecting at least some Viking, you said. That Finnish dna can be the Viking part. Some Finns took part in the Viking ransacking business, also Vikings mixed with the Finns and the Sami long before they ever went to the British Isles and Ireland and mixed with the Celts. In DNA lottery you can miss the Danish/Norwegian/Swedish part and get the Finn/Sami part.
@@ahkkariq7406 "They imagine that the Sami migrated in 3000 years ago, which this video rejects." not so much rejects as explain that the Sami acquired certain genetic traits from early European hunter/gatherers that had inhabited the area since the end of the ice age. it is this admixture of Siberian/Uralic and early European hunter/gatherers that set the Sami apart from other Finno-Ugric groups. it is suggested that these early Hunter/gatherers were the first to follow the receding ice sheets into Europe (including Doggerland), some 12000 years ago, while the Sami is thought to have migrated into Fenno-Scandia some 3500 years ago. thou the earlly hunter/gatherer genetic make-up is now mostly extinct in modern Europeans. linguistically there is even a proposed sub-strata in Sami some languages, toponyms and such, that might point to these earlier inhabitants. the point is that if there are shared genetic markers between Sami and some modern Scots, this is likely due to those early hunter/gatherers leaving their genetics in both groups, not that Scots and Sami intermingled directly. who were the Picts?
My mom married my adopted dad and they had my sister. My adopted dad was from Finnescandia. In 1970 we went on the common American family trip to the Grand Canyon. On the way we stopped on the Navajo reservation. We were walking up to a shop door and stopped to allow a family to exit through the door. My 3 year old sister was leading the way and that family’s 3 year old daughter was leading the way as well. They meet as if the door were a receding curtain. These two three year olds were face to face and it was as if they were looking into a mirror. These two had the same eye shape, face shape, toddler pot belly, legs and all of their parts were a match. Everyone, who witnessed this meeting, just stopped and stared. The only difference, between them, was that the other family’s daughter had coal black Navajo hair and my sister’s hair was bleach white blonde. My mom had studied my dad’s ancestry and was able to explain how they could look alike through my dad’s Sami roots. My sister grew up to look very much like Renee Zellweger with their Sami eyes. It was most startling when Renee gained weight for Bridget Jones. Far more like her sister than mine. Your video takes a deep dive into a similar explanation. Done so beautifully and with scientific research to back it up. What a treat. Thank you.
Renee Zellweger actually has Finnish roots, not Sami. It seems Norwegians and Swedes easily mix Finns and Sami, which has been a centuries-long occurrence, being called Finns, Lapps, Kvens... all meaning both or either of the two peoples.
@@amarialight~ If she is Finnish then it seems quite rational to think she may have some Sami just like my sister. They call the shape of Renee’s eyes “Sami eyes”. I cannot fathom how anyone would think Renee’s ancestors do not have some Sami’s included. Certainly not based on the declaration of total strangers to her.
"Sami eyes" - you need to know that samis are most likely to be caucasian, not having slint eyes, since that group migrated 3000 yrs at first, whilist first samis as caucasian eyes were already living
@@trixy1823 very many Finns have Asian looking or monolid eyes, even more so than the Sami. Still, they are not Sami, but Finnish. Sami and Finns are very closely related though. Her grandmother's last name is Hildonen (Hiltunen) which is purely a Finnish name from Eastern Finland.
BTW ... As a Karelian/Saami admixed person I have no problem with the word “Lapp”. Karelians used to call each other Lapps and it was not a derogatory term, but described people still living in wilderness/hunting areas. My Karelian gran’s people were called Lapps for this reason even though they weren’t Saami. On the other side of the family, we had some real Saami and those cousins were called “Firelapps”, maybe because they lived further up North where aurora borealis, “revontulet” (foxfire in English) could clearly be seen.
I can relate. I am Sea Sami from Northern Norway. In Norwegian, the Sami were called "finn/finner", presumably because part of the culture was to gather (find/finne) plants in nature. I have no problem with the term Finn, but today I use Sami because the Sami from the mountains, who were not Norwegianized to the same extent as us, have a more negative experience of the term. We belong to the same people, and in our language we call ourselves Sami. Although I have lost the language, it lived in my family for so long that my father could speak Sami, and my mother understood the language. Therefore, I feel ownership of the language.
@@ahkkariq7406 Hi ... Obviously there had been negative experiences with that term up in your neck of the woods, I get that, but since I grew up with close, “homey” and heartfelt associations with it, I still have difficulty in cognizing the word as something negative. Also btw …. Here I would like to take the opportunity to extend a greeting to my Norwegian Saami cousins (although quite distant) from Enontekiö to Kautokeino.
Thank you for your post. You have clearly demonstrated that the Sami People have their roots in Scandanavia including Finland and much of the surrounding area. These people must be recognized for the role they have played in populating their homeland. I can only wish them the very best possible outcome.
Harald Hårfagre (or Fairhair as you translate it to) had a favourite seeress he called on for important matters. She is said to have been Samí. There was no animosity between the Samí and the Norse. Not till the monks and their "loving religion" arrived.
Scandinavia does not include Finland. Finland has not treated Sami the same way as Norway or Sweden. Finnish (especially Northern Finnish) DNA is very similar to Sami DNA.
EXCELLENT study of these fascinating people! I've often wondered what trade routes or cultural exposures led the Sami to their consumption of coffee? I'm guessing they learned of it from their neighbors/oppressors, the Swedes, who first learned of it in the mid-17th century in the writing of Swedish statesmen Claes Rålamb, who had led a Swedish delegation to Istanbul, Turkey. Thirty years later Sweden received it's first beans, and eventually Sweden's King Charles XII (who enjoyed coffee during a visit to Turkey) became Sweden's enthusiastic "early-adopter". By the early 18th century coffees availability had risen and cost had dropped to the point that it had become a middle class sensation, and I believe this the the period where the Sami first acquired the taste, likely trading for it in exchange for their furs and pelts. I'd love to hear from anyone who's also studied this question!
I hope you don't mind if I interject my thoughts. Coffee seems to taste much better on a cold day. In warm weather I am repulsed by that nasty, bitter, brown liquid. In cold weather, even black coffee is enjoyable.
@ximono, Maybe it was the merchants. The could have offered the Sami a hot cup of coffee. When they wanted more, they wanted furs in exchange for coffee. Addictive substances have been traded that way for a very long time. The Sami were probably getting along fine without coffee before they knew it existed. The Chinese were doing great before opium was introduced to them, American Indians were doing well before they had whiskey.
Well, it seems to me like all european colonial powers did more or less the exact thing whenever and wherever we came across indigenous people all over the world. I guess it’s because of the colonial mindset most europeans had back in the day. But anyways, @TexasTrosper is absolutely true in his/her qoriginal post. In Sweden we did really treat the Sami people almoust exactly like the US treated native americans. Not very surprising, the results of us forcing our culture and religion down their throats had the exact same effect and to this day a lot of the Sami people living in Sweden have many (if not all?) of the same social problems associated with the native american peopulation in the US. One of the worst parts about this, is that the way we treated the Sami people in Sweden was very much based on the idea that we were actually helping them to bevome civilized. But regardless of motives, we sure managed to do one Hell of a nasty number on them. In the process we broke their cultural identity and to this day a lot of people ”blessed” by western (colonial) civilization still have a lot of social problems because of it. The results around the world speaks for itself and that’s a huge f*cking tragedy. 😔
No past tense, instead : like US treat native ppl. Trump just decided no more border crossing for Can. natives with status card, instead need a passport 2025
My great great great grandmother was Northern Sami and was from a reindeer herding family. In every generation there’s at least one of us that looks full blood Sámi. My dad was the one in his generation as was his father. I’m the one in mine. My son and my big brother’s youngest daughter are the ones in their generation. However, both my brothers and my youngest sister as well as all of my son’s generation have a recognizable Sámi look, especially in the eyes. My dad says I look exactly like my great great great grandmother except for my hair color. I almost never get cold. I’m definitely more suited to a high fat diet. I’ve got a bunch of the other markers too. I’ve never done the genetic testing to see what I’ve inherited but based off looks, metabolism, cold tolerance, cheek bones, eyes, rib cage, hand and foot size, it’s always utterly fascinating to learn more about my Sámi grandmother’s people. Outside of my family, I’m not used to seeing people who look like me much less have my unusual temperature preferences. This was very interesting. Thank you.
i once met a Sami woman in a Nature area near Vienna. she noticed me photographing a small common flower. i think she liked ist 🙂 we had a very nice talk about Nature and from where she was coming and her genes are good. she appeared to me like an angel. it was years ago and still i can't forget her.
An excellent and well presented video. My son's DNA analysis shows Siberian haplotypes. He is Norwegian ( my side) and Greek-Bulgarian, his father's ancestry. Thank you for your research.
Doesn't really mean anything, when the Finns predate the Sami by thousands of years. It just means they mixed, competed or coexisted. In Norway Sami only arrived about 2000 years ago. Likely by invasion.
It is the same in Norway. In the 12th century, Borgartingsloven reduced the ban on the Norwegian local population in Eastern Norway seeking out the Sami in order to have non-Christian religious services performed. Borgarting applies to Oslo and the neighbouring areas. The law would not have such provisions if there were no Sami nearby.
I have U5b1b1a (the “Sami Motif”) and I see a lot of flags from Scandinavia, especially Finland around my DNA data entry. The problem is I am from the Balkans. According to AI I must be representing a “remnant”. The DNA stuff is like rocket science but thus far the “theoretical paths” for my maternal lineage point to a migration from south-west Asia to south-west Europe maybe 40 thousand years ago when the Neanderthal was still around and was associated with the first cultures of Europe- the Aurignacian, Gravetian etc. After the last Ice Age it moves to Central Europe and from there it either goes directly to the Balkans (which would mean the “Sami motive” was formed in Central Europe) or goes up to Scandinavia before coming down to the Balkans. The strange thing for me is I’ve never considered myself much of a “European” but DNA evidence points to a maternal link to the very first Europeans. According to AI these were not only “Western Hunter Gatherers” but simply first “Homo Sapiens” in Europe whose lineage still survives. My late mother would have been surprised.
Thank you for uploading this very important video on the Sami. The comments show how important this is to so many people that this information pertains to and affects.
And most people in far northern Sweden, both samis and farming swedes, helped each other in the harsh landscape. Both eager to avoid the representatives of the monarch.
Fun fact: Sami people were introduced in North America to work as reindeer herders for the Lomen company. As promotions to make Americans eat reindeer meat, there were organised parades in American cities where reindeers pulled Santa Claus on a sledge, and the Sami worked as Santa's helpers. One can still see today how Santa's helper's clothes have drawn inspiration from Sami clothing.
@@evoinception The reason why Sami and reindeer were imported from Norway was that the indigenous population in Alaska needed more livelihoods, but it did not work very well, except in mixed families between Sami and Innuit.
It is important knowledge because the Sámi still today live under forced, albeit "unwanted" Norwegianization (probably the same in the other Nordic countries), and old myths that the Sámi migrated in after the Norwegians, killed the Norwegians and stole their land are alive and well. You will also find it in this comment section.
I'm a Finn who has Sami ancestors too (many of them found with the help of Dna tests) due to strong Lappish roots. They were the southern Samis better known as Forest Sami" (they have existed in Sweden as well). Unfortunately their language and identity died out in the 1800s. There's a small possibility of me having North Samis from Swedish Lapland too.
Maybe a dumb question but do the genes of the Sami tend to run with very high triglycerides? I heard the digestive system geared towards fats vs carbohydrates and my mind began to think of my 80 year old grandpa with triglycerides over 80p…🤷♂️PS he could outwork a team of horses and so I’m really curious now.
Why people don't became farmers is simply because it was almost not possible to do farming in the most northern regions of Scandinavia. What was possible was to sow a bit of barley and hay. This cattle was what people had who were "farmers" thus they didn't differ very much from the Sami. Furthermore, lots of people lived more like trappers with a sustenance by fishing and hunting mostly.
There is a natural border between Norwegian and Sami where the border for growing grain runs. In Norse culture, growing grain was essential because beer and mead were part of the religious rituals. Grain was needed to make beer. Therefore, Norse people had no desire to settle further north than to have access to grain before Christianization. There was also a peaceful agreement with the Sami neighbors about where the border between the two peoples was. Norwegians had great respect for the Sami because they were skilled shamans, and they were trading partners. You can read about this in the book "Samenes historie frem til 1750" by Bjørnar Olsen and Lars Ivar Hansen.
Please remember…every baby is born with needs. When referring to “rights” the ideas formalized as rights are finally ideas on paper that society has turned into laws, sometimes enforceable, sometimes not.
Remember that as you go north the circumstance of the globe gets smaller. It's much easier for groups to intermix. So some could easily be blondish while others are darker (some Siberian).
I consider the top of the world to be a region of its own. It’s absolutely possible for a group to cover the whole latitude of the world at that longitude (hope i phrased that right!)
All of that around the world, including with the Native Americans and all of the wars in history are all manipulated events from the satanic cult which has been behind the scenes for 6,000 years. I have Sami ancestry, and my Norwegian ancestors came to the US to escape the corruption in Europe, and were greeted here with a demand to fight the Native Americans, or face execution. No man coming here for freedom would allow himself to be executed so that his wife and children would be left behind in the control of such evil. And, the immigrants here were also blocked from returning to Europe, which is a clear crime that they could not fight due to their vulnerabilities as immigrants. The satanic cult has had too much control and negative influence on everyone, and at this point, I personally would rather celebrate the goodwill of the people who the satanists attacked. Granted, the cabal is already taken down by the White Hats at this moment, or else that would be my priority. But now while the world recovers, I would rather recognize the goodness in people, so that we know that is what the cult attacked. We are safe to do that now that the cult doesn't loom over world affairs anymore. Notice that if you do an internet search of Nordic people, English People, and German People, you will see blonds, brunettes, and blonds again, in that order. Why? Because the English have Egyptian ancestry. Granted, many pharaohs were fair complected with red hair, but there were also dark haired, probably Cainite Egyptians, too. The Egyptians were satanic, and when the Biblical Israelites (fair complected peoples with colorful eyes and hair, aka the Germanic peoples) left the middle east and Egypt to come to Europe, the Cainites could not stand it and so stalked us into Europe. They are the Italians, who, genetically, are related to the joos. The Italians are evil, but the joos claim to be descendants of satan, and they are the infamous hook nosed people with big ears and are related to the Italians. Italy was established only as cover for the Cainites, who used to live in Venice until only 2016, and were the head of the entire global satanic cult. A sect of them got to England, which explains the brown haired English in the middle of the blond Israelite countries. The English attacked Scotland, Ireland, and Wales, because it was an ancient continuation of the spiritual war between Cain (descendants of satan) and Able (descendants of Adam, the Israelites), between good and evil, the global battle of the last 6,000 years, which was just finally won a few days ago.
I wrote a thesis on the Sami and the far leftists at my university harassed me and tried to destroy my academic career as an undergraduate. I reported them to the federal government as they were abusing me while I was paying tuition with federal loans and grants(Scholarships). I am currently seeking an educational lawyer that can practice in Texas and anyone who wants to read my thesis can contact me here. I refused to tow the only people of color can suffer line and was harassed in the way that is usually reserved for faculty as an undergraduate student.
I carry one of the haplogroups of the Sami, thanks to my Grandad whose family came from Sweden to North America in the 1890s. His mother and my mother do bear a resemblence to the more modern Sami. I haven't found the connection to the Sami yet and may not ever if it was hidden due to the racism shown for these people.
I have Sami ancestry, too, and the Norwegian side of my family doesn't like to talk about it. Also, I was speaking to some Norwegians online last year, who wanted to go back to "the old ways," which means satanism amongst other things, and they were also against the Sami. The Sami were also satanic, so one would think that the Norwegians I was talking to were on the side of the Sami, but they said they were against them because the Sami had central Asian ancestry (the video mentions Siberian ancestry, but I always thought it was central Asian ancestry). The Sami have been discriminated against racially, but it doesn't make any sense to me that their satanism is overlooked, almost "okayed." Sometimes the world is strange!
Also I believe that for a large portion of the overall Sámi population, fishing has been the main livelihood over te centuries, rather than reindeer herding or hunting.
Sweden treated Finnish speakers in northern Sweden pretty much the same as Finland treated the Sami people in northern Finland. However, I am happy to report that Finland has treated our Swedish speaking minority much better. It may be a coincidence that they comprise a large fraction of our cultural, political and financial elite. Food for thought...
This story is oversimplified. And certainly doesn’t take into account all the financial benefits Sami peoples enjoys today, and the generosity and tolerance of the Norwegian nation. This black/white narrative is a typical reductive and revisionist representation that doesn’t form a truthful and nuanced historical basis for the complex interactions between nomadic and agricultural and modern societies. The situation today is that the Sami population in Norway enjoys a range of economic and social benefits that are among the best in any country in the world. Also it is unfair to take the relationship between Norwegians and Sami people out of its historical context. Ethic minorities have been treated differently and admittedly with little or no tolerance for their cultural differences. In a predominantly Christian conservative society, the religious superstition and strange practices, was of course in strict conflict with the church. This has been the same pattern we have seen in many countries all over the world. The history Sami peoples must therefore be remembered in its historical perspective. This video is very romanticized and biased.
sad, you destroy a culture and language, then throw a few coins as if they even needed it, give them their land and do not destroy them any further ...
@@evoinception And by the way, the Sami people’s land has been recognized since in the so called ’Lappkodisilen’, where this special codicil formalised the rights of the Lapps or Sámi people to continue with their traditional migratory reindeer herding across the newly formalised border between the then Danish territory of Norway and Sweden. It also had provisions about citizenship and taxes among other things. The Lappkodisilen is the foundation for the Sami people’s land rights as recognized already in 1751.
thank you so much for this video as I am Part Sami on my grandpa's side his grandma being from Sweden and after doing my DNA test saw I had 1.5% dna from mainland asian and 1% dan Finnish in addition to the DNA of SWEDEN. I AM SO HAPPY TO LEARN ABOUT WHAT CULTURE I LOST AND NEVER HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE BROUGHT UP IN SADLY.. BUT IT GIVES ME HOPE FOR Rising my children on our true cultural roots someday
Hmmm, that boarding school thing sounds strangle familiar. Don’t you remember that exact same things happening to indigenous peoples in Canada and the United States?
Finns and sami share approx. 50% dna. 1 000 years ago both languages were mere dialects. Finns have also endured pressure from swedes, norwegians, russians to assimilate and to change their language. Ingrian finns even faced ethnic clensing from USSR. Most vulnerable have been though the sapmi people. Corrective measures have been unfortunately miniscule, some progress have been made in recent times. One hour of home language studies in Sweden and Russia to learn sami, finnish and carelinian does not cut though. It is not even compulsary to save the language 🤔 Finland outshines here giving swedish minority (300 000) inhabitants full education from kindergarten to university in swedish. Progress in forgotten carelinian language and indigenous sami education is though yet needed. Problem with carelinian is that it is too near finnish. Viena dialect is just a finnish dialect, but livvi is mixed with veps language and russian lian words so it is harder to understand without engagement. Reindeer herding is a new phenomena, 200 years old. Sapmi and finns came after the wild mountain reindeer and forest reindeers to fennoscandia. There are 20 000 wild mountain reindeers in southern Norway and 3 000 forest reindeers in Finland and in Russian Carelia 2 000 of them. The reintroduction program in southwestern Finland increases the amount of wild forest reindeers every year and brings them back to old forest reindeer habitats in northern and southern Suomenselkä. In Russia the amount keeps declining due of illegal hunting. The semitame mountain reindeers are plentifull in northern parts of nordics. In Finland 200 000. In Sweden and Norway way more. There is even too much of them for the area and yet fewer people each year get their whole livelyhood from it.
The Sami, Finnish, and Estonian languages are related to Hungarian. None of them is an Indo-European language, making those languages and cultures unique in modern Europe.
Only the vowl harmony are similar with Hungary ää öö. I work with a Hungarian Finn and she assures me the language is very different. Her parents communicate in English with each other
@@thomasreilly6362 Of course the languages are very different now. They had different influences over the last thousand years. I grew up with a Finnish girl whose parents spoke Finnish among themselves. I could often get the gist of what they were saying. My father had a Finnish colleague. They amused themselves by comparing words from the dictionaries of both languages and found many, many words that were similar.
@ There are certain words in Indonesian that are also similar to Finnish. But mean different things. I can understand some Swedish and German because they have similar structures to English and French but I can’t speak them. Estonian is also similar to Finnish. But from experience with both Finns and Hungarians they can not communicate using each other’s language
@@thomasreilly6362 My example was about words that mean the same thing in both Finnish and Hungarian, not words that just sound the same. As I said, I was able to get the gist of Finnish conversation. I didn't claim fluent communication.
@@agnesvanya2329In an old 50's dictionary the connection between fiinish and hungarian was exemplified with sentence: Hal uit eläväenen viz alatten= Kala ui elävänä veden alla
My maternal haplogroup is U5b1b. Women carrying U5b1b crossed the Mediterranean Sea from either Spain or Italy into northern Africa, where their descendants can now be found in Morocco among the indigenous Berbers and their descendants. A separate migration carried U5b1b to eastern Europe, and then northward into eastern Scandinavia by about 6,000 years ago. Today haplogroup U5b1b can be found in the Berbers of northern Africa and the Saami, or Lapps, of northern Finland.Being blond I identify myself with Saamis.
Hi there, I do have a soft spot for Berbers and looking at the facial tattoos of Berber women and then the markings on Saami drums - the similarity sometimes makes me wonder ….
Anybody complaining about the summarization of Sami History before the genetics were discussed really should get their heads checked. This video promised a dark secret, and that dark secret is that the Sami were mistreated by the Norwegians and other Scandinavians.
I'm Norwegian, and as far as I could tell there was nothing controversial in the introduction. I had to go back to double-check if I had missed anything after seeing some of the comments.
As an Indigenous American I’ve watched several movies about them. Please support their right to live and speak their language. My Federally Recognized Tribe went through many atrocities but three SISTERS were hidden by farmers when the soldiers came. These SUSTERS were instrumental in keep our BAND alive.
It has been speculated that when the Artic Ocean was open thousands of years ago, there was culture that lived on shores. They found trade of rocks and minerals in northvAsia, Siberia, nothern Europe, and the nortern Americas.
A note about Sami and Reindeer herding. Reindeer have always been important for Sami but it's also a colonizing tool. Let me explain. Historically Sami have mainly been fishing, gathering and hunting in a semi nomadic fashion, reindeer being one of the game animals but not the most important. Looking at the south Sami language there's loan words from old norse (just as there's Sami loan words in Norse) about keeping and milking suggesting these were practices introduced to the Sami at about 1500 years ago. This evolved in to the intensive type of reindeer herding done in the south of Sapmi where you have a few animals, keep a close watch, use them as pack animals and milk them. This was done in tandem with fishing and hunting in a seminomadic way all over the nordic forests. This changed in the 1600's when colonizing began in earnest and a heavier tax burden was laid on the Sami population. In response to that a more extensive type of reindeer herding began with larger herds to produce more skins to sell and pay taxes with and a more nomadic lifestyle since large herds need large grazing areas. The type of kåta (tent) with two distinct arches was developed at this time since it was more portable. Some Sami communities was not affected by this taxation and continued to live as normal, mainly forest Sami who had side income from crafts and trapping, and fishing Sami along the coasts. One ecological effect of this change in herding was the extinction of forest-reindeer on the scandinavian peninsula since their smaller herds was absorbed by the larger herds of mountain reindeer. So when colonization in the 1900's stepped up a notch (when the economical value of Sami trade became lower then timber and iron) together with racist ideas they wanted Sami to be as different from Scandinavians as possible so they defined Sami by the trade most different, reindeerherding. This policy, Lapp ska vara Lapp, was only targeted at reindeerherders in the mountains meaning they had to bear the brunt of social stigma while other Sami could hide and integrate. This has created problems today in two ways. First. people discovering their ancestry today or coming forward as Sami, and are not reindeer herders, are seen as showoff and not true Sami within the Sami community since they only stepped forward now when it's "easy". This divide and conquer situation all to common among colonized. Second, all legal rights to the use of land is bound to reindeerherding. All land that was unlawfully declared by the states as theirs can only be used in some ways by reindeerherders.
Superinteresting. I thrive in cold conditions too (Dutch), perhaps I have some Saami roots. Perhaps you can do something similar about the Kawaskar. The native tribes of Patagonia? They lived pretty isolated in South America.
All aboriginal ppl were treated the same way. The sami.. the anui.. the aboriginals Australian.. indigenous ppl of the Americas.. t v ey tried to kill us all off but failed. Unfortunately they did succed with some ppl. 😢
The ice dissapeared from the South AND the North of Fenoscandia. The first ancestors of present Sami settled in the very North and was seperated by a huge remaining ice sheet in the middle.
Being a Forest Sami, I think the Tsaatan are actually much more fascinating than my racist reindeer herding relatives. The Tsaatan treat reindeers like a family, which is closer to my heart. There are also Komi, Khanty, Yakut, Koryak, Chukchi, and Itelmen peoples who all tend reindeers.
Yakuts are more with horses, reindeers are more of a evenks/evens animals who lives in the same areas, but they are nomadic, while the yakuts are settled people
@@alexandracotton4514 according to Wikipedia they do, but yes probably Evenks and Evens tend reindeers more. But it's not my point. In Finland, more Finns tend reindeers than Sami, and all Sami are 100% settled (no more nomadic lifestyle). Still they pretend to be the only reindeer herders in the world and act like they own the reindeers and the nomadic lifestyle. The reindeer herding portion of Sami who came to Finland from Norway in the 1800s is very racist towards the original Sami people of Finland.
I am from Southern Bulgaria but my DNA test showed that I have some of their genes through the maternal side. My mother has similar facial phenotype as the Sámi people.
It even happens voluntarily. My children: mother Estonian, looks more like Sami, has surely some Germany influence from her family history. Some Russian too. And the father of her father is unknown. I’m German. My father is biologically Greek but more is unknown as well. From my mothers side there’s some Swiss and probably Italian influence as well. Not to forget the German Alemannic influence. So over only 4 generations it covers half of Europe and several different ancestries. 😊 And: my first wife was Hungarian. Dark skin. There’s a girl as well, half German, half Hungarian.
@birgitgro-probst7747 They destroy to conquer. They conquered your people too unless ur one of them playing innocent...sooo persecuted. Learn ur history and u might get a clue
Well, I must say, after watching the photoos, that especially the west-Sami-people look a lot like my mid-dutch-family-members (frisian ancestrary, which shows in our dna by 'My Heritage'). The older our remaining photoos... the greater resemblance, but also from my brother and me as children.
Sounds like the same thing that was done to American Indians. Unfortunately, while today’s western world feigns tolerance, there is, in reality, a greater push toward homogeneity. In example, is the “woke” crowd or the “cancel culture” really more tolerant? No, the targeted group and the model to which it is to be assimilated has shifted. It is a distinction without a difference.
Did they show a connection with Native Americans? I recall that Native Americans have a value of DNA, Ancient DNA, from a couple areas in the Mideast area, (and maybe Asia Minor/Turkey), I would really appreciate clarity on this subject. 🚩 Further, it would be most valuabke to define the "Time Measure of DNA data", particularly for references of identifying and distinguishing between the Migrations and Seafaring (AdMix). Oh to have an easy "Go To Resource" for these Facts! Beth Bartlett Sociologist/Behavioralist and Historian
They originally had the same lineage. They descend from the same Siberian culture.

Not really. Native Americans are related to the ancient - Proto-Europeans - by their paternal lineage. And Eastern Asian women by their maternal lineage. Saami are opposite - South-Eastern Asian paternal lineage mixed with European maternal lineage. European ancestors settled Americas during Mesolithic age. Saami ancestors settled in Europe during the Bronze age.
Read about the “Ancient North Eurasians” and the 24 000 year old Siberian Mal'ta Boy dna that links Native Americans & Europeans. Udmurts and Saami are the closest populations genetically to Malta Boy on the European side. Y-dna haplogroup Q that Indo-Europeans have from their link to Ancient North Eurasians migrated to Americas. But when Saami take a dna test, they often get “Inuit” and “Mesoamerican and Andean” in their results. We all have “Siberian”, because Siberians came to us about 4000 years ago. This Siberian in us is partly “Yeniseian” and some of it geneticists can not tell apart from “Amerind” dna. Read also about the Dene-Yeniseian Hypothesis which proposes a genetic relationship between the Na-Dene (or Athabascan-Eyak-Tlingit) languages of North America and the Yeniseian languages of Central Siberia. Both Tlingit and Saami are rather 'close' match to the before named Malta Boy.
It's a good, interesting story, and deserves to be told. But where, oh where are your sources? Will you put them into the description? Because they're not there when I write this.
The Sámi were not the first inhabitants. They are simply another tribe among many. Similarly, in pre-Columbian America, tribes also fought with one another.
Major Sami haplogroups, V and U5b1b1, date back to approximately 7,600 and 5,500 years before present respectively , both considerably earlier than the Iron Age which began around 500 BC in Northern Scandinavia.
The Samis ancestors were Eastern Hunter- Gatherers arriving from Kola peninsula and Finland. In southern Sweden these Eastern Hunter- Gatherers met, and admixture with Western Hunter- Gatherers. This mix of Hunter- Gatherers were incorpotated with farmers from Anatolia that brought agriculture to southern Scandinavia. And soon thereafter Yamnayas from Ukraine intermixed with the farmers in southern scandniavia. Roughly 2000 years later the Vikings intermixed with areas close to Scandinavia.
@@gurulf i think remember reading that Scandinavians got their Anatolian farmer dna indirectly from the bell beaker or corded wear movement north. It didn't sit well with me.
@@gurulfno it’s not as you stated. the sami are of the same ancestry as the inuit and eskimo’s. the european admixture began with hunter gatherers. over time the European ancestry became half of their 🧬. the reason why they don’t look like the indigenous inuit of green land and Canada.
Iam sami. Our ancestors migrated from siberia 4000 years ago and absorded earlier populations and also steppe people mix. Those people before here were not sami as we were born about 4000-3000 years ago. We originate from same people as nenets, nganasan and khanty camo from but we mixed with white folk. Literally. Yakutoa LNBA migration look it up. From manchuria to east siberia to west and central siberia. Then some continued to Europe and mixed with euros. Tribes that staid in siberia side became the samoyedic people Also there is no mystery about our sami genetics so i dont understand why people talk about as like we were mystery. We are not genetic mystery haha. Just siberian/east asian european mix 4000 years ago😂😂😂
My Swedish ancestry, as best as I can tell, is from Västerbotten which is Swedish Lapland. I have never had DNA done so I have no idea if there's any Sami, though I can say I am very sensitive to heat. I'm at least heartened that there is a pretty strong recognized Sami population there. I hope they have the self-determination they deserve.
Just like the indigenous people of Canada. And, my friends, like all of us. The masters took over, and they want a faceless workforce, obedient and hard-working. Like Chinese.
The history of the Sami people has tragic moments, and I wonder if there is any country in the world where there has not been serious mistreatment of minorities in the last 2 centuries ? I already know many countries who had dark forced assimilation (or reject) policies in the past
im Swedish/Norwegian/Finish mix from Nordkalotten but also mixed with Danish on one side . i eat whatever i have in my storage and a lot but i am slim no matter how much i eat
There are no Paleolithic or Mesolithic human remains from Doggerland yet, as far as I know, only one Neanderthal eyebrow. But if genetic material on both sides of the North Sea is alike, you might be right. In the Netherlands the earliest material is Mesolithic.
ALL original Nordics were Doggerlanders - me thinks. My mtdna V and H1 (both Karelian and Saami) are claimed to have come from there. Y-dna I1 too (?) Autosomally we are ‘close’ to Magdalenians as well - as far as I can see. So Magdalenians weren’t wiped out or replaced, only in Uk and Ireland perhaps. It is just that Norwegians and Swedes have now got more Early European Farmer and later Bronze Age Indo-European expansion ancestry which obscures those earliest origins.
Thanks!
thanks for your support ...
Thank you very much for this video.
I am Sami myself. I have studied Norwegian history, and have read everything there is to learn about older Sami history. In most videos about the Sami, it is claimed that the Sami migrated in 2-3000 years ago, which is wrong, since Sami ethnicity arose there, as you so correctly confirm.
The Sámi are still living today with a quiet and gradual Norwegianization, through the loss of land, language and culture. Most decent people in Norway accept the Sami's right to their ancestral land, but a few individuals are very loud, and other people believe the old myths they spread despite being disproved by modern research decades ago. It's exhausting, and I've missed a video like this, where you get into the Sami's status as a mixed people with a connection to the Stone Age people. Thank you very much!
thanks, i hope Sami do not get their culture and language destroyed any further and are given their due rights ...
@@ahkkariq7406 god damn it you are brainwashed. Sami have been in Finland and russia for 4000 years, in Sweden and Norway for 2500 years. The only native part of their dna is they share part of their mitocondrial dna with the Swedes and Norwegians. As it mostly is men were most mobile and if they were succesful they came to mix with the women allready living there.
My farmor was Saami. I was very skeptical about watching this video, but pleasantly surprised. I will be sharing this video on Facebook in my account and in at least one Saami group, as well as elsewhere.
Yeah, tell me about it! My mind boggles - where on earth do people get these false/fake time frame estimates from. As I understand it, it was about 2000 years ago when proto-Saami developed into separate Saami languages. It was 3000-3500 years or so ago when Uralic language was a stronghold (?)
But language development time estimates are not the yardstick, nor the proof of how long Saami and/or Uralics had been here, that is the dna story, which is altogether different and goes back to 10 000+ years in Fennoscandia.
What was the dna secret?
The way indigenous peoples of all nations have been treated by governments is probably the darkest truth of all.
A fascinating view. Thanks.
They are not indigenous. They are colonizers. They treated us much worse than we treated them. Africa occupied parts of Europe for 800 years. Europe occupied parts of Africa for 80. Might makes right is the story of humanity.
Not indigenous
Ya. “Government“ is another word for victors.
@@fieldsofgold775 swedes are the indigenous people of Sweden.
@@joellarsson9486 We’re talking about Sami. Go smoke your pipe somewhere else.
One of my grandfathers was Sami. The bit about diet rings a lot of bells with me. All my life, I had trouble with my digestion until I went on a keto/carnivore diet -- beef, butter, bacon, eggs, cheese, and seafood, preferably from northern waters. No more carbs.
Also no more weight or blood pressure issues, no more hyperinsulinemia, or digestion problems, and no more catching every rhinovirus passing through the area.
I also know one Sami whose grandfather lived over 90 being mostly on meat/fish diet and was active till death with no health issues. As populations are mixing more and more these days evolutionary useful traits for different environments are also mixed. So we need to experiment more to find out best solution for our individual diet.
There are research that since people started growing grain 9000yo our sugar and fat metabolism genes has evolved along diet change. One might expect that in populations where that diet change didn't occur metabolism also didn't change.
@@marsilt Yes, I have been thinking along those lines for a few years, now. My other grandfather was half American Indian and half p-Celtic Welsh, so between two grandfathers, my heritage is mostly hunter-gatherer.
@@marsilt Interestingly, the poor American south ate very much the same as the things listed, less fish and larger variety of wild game. None of the men of my family from Arkansas were ever fat. No uncles or cousins, father or grandfather. When I was young I tried hard to gain weight, I played football and needed it, but really never could. My metabolism has always run high. The only issue though, a large percentage of the men also had hypertension. No other issues, just that one stat. My father used to say it was because we had ferrari hearts and most Americans had pinto tempo hearts. Most all of them were smokers, so I avoided that one. At fifty I'm as healthy as anyone I know. My father has chainsmoked now for around sixty years and still cooks with lard. He does not however, do any sweets outside of holidays or if someone gifts him a pie. He's now 78. Between he and I there has been just one single overnight stay in a hospital. One. That was me, when they needed to put me out to remove a kidney stone.
My wife is Etonian. Looks like Sami though. She has a problem with Lactose. Like many northern people. Maybe she should switch here diet. Living in Germany causes her lots of problems with pollen allergy. In Estonia she doesn’t have that problem..
@volkerr. That would be grandmother -in -law smooching up to Red Army . Buryaks got moves !
I live in Sweden. My late husband's great grandmother was full Samí. Many look Asian, many look caucasian. Many have asian features and blonde hair and blue eyes. I think they are the most beautiful.
When i look at the pictures of the people in this video i'm pretty sure i am related to them. Never did a dna test yet but i'm starting to get very curious now.. 😊
Born & raised in the Netherlands
There were kipchak turks, they were blonde, blue eyed.
I think the ancients in Western Asia were fairer than many in modernity realize. Even the oldest Egyptian doll in existence has blue eyes (the tribe who built dynastic Egypt migrated down into N Africa from the western edge of the Asian Levant).
@MielaMazeagree, my heritage is Dutch and I'm looking at those cheekbones going hmmmm.
I suspect the Sami and the northern Asiatic peoples stretching from Northern Scandinavia across Siberia to the east and Greenland to the West. Then down into the Americas. Modern maps are warped around geopolitical units created by invasion and colonisation. The loudest people are so fixated on race, but what we think of as racial differences are environmental ones.
What I have read from a DNA perspective is that they are Eurasians. The mitochondria is mostly European and the y dna is Asian. Lets face it historically people of all ethnicities have been discriminated against if they don't have settled communities. Governments seem to get nervous when people are self-sufficient and move around a lot.
Apparently we are born 4000-3000 years ago from east siberian neo siberian tribes migrating to west siberia and europes side and mixing with steppes people along the migration and northern paleo europeans. Really just siberian european mix.
Not a mystery people haha😂 people love to call us samis genetics mystery for some reason but we are not. Yakutia Lnba migration look it up. The first neo siberians i suppose. People migrated from manchuria china to yakutia area in east siberia around time when native american left to americas side.
Then 4000 years ago following the seimaturpino people for trading they traveled to central and west siberia. Some continued to europes side all the way to finland and north west russia and mixed with locals and steppe folk along the travel.
That group became us sami.
The tribes that split to stay in asia side became the nenets, enets, nganasan, selkup and they did not mix to white folk so much.
Many modern Sami look very white because they dont really have much sami blood anymore due to marrying our whiter neighbours so many generations. Some families still look like old time sami though with heavy siberian appearance
Full blooded sami were 30-60% east north asian and look like mixed native american white or mixed east asian white children.
But now we are all mixed with our modern white neighbours too and full genetic sami sami do not exist. We are all partly something else than sami now. Sami finn mix myself
Modern Sami are 20-40% siberian depending of person but thats lowered because of marriages with norwegians, swedes, finns and russians. Old time "full blooded" sami were 30-60% siberian.
We are truthfully very white washed nowadays and racially near extinction
It's hard to tax people when you don't know where they live and every time they see a tax collector they just walk away.
Are’t Y-haplogroups R Asian?
Saami also migrated to Fennoscandia with Y-DNA I1 which is Native to Europe
Always interested in information about the Sami. I'm American. My father is 100% Norwegian, ethnically, but something is a bit off. Instead of being a tall, blue-eyed blond - he is short, wiry, black haired, black eyed, swarthy skinned and has an epicanthic fold. I have one photo of him, when he was young - which - if labeled "Ojibwe" Child" or "Cree Child" would raise no eyebrows. This gene predominates in at least one person every other generation and shows in many others. My father's grandmother looked Chinese. Some old photos of Sami look exactly like members of my family. Every family reunion (hundreds gather - every year), we joke about the Chinaman in the family tree. As time went by - we began to wonder if there was a Sami gene in the family tree, however, both sides of my father's family are from Southern Norway, grandfather's side from Sandness area in Rogaland, and grandmother's side from Hallingdalselva - Fla, Gulsvik, and related areas. As these were both, roughly, in southern Norway - I couldn't see how this could be related to Sami. Just recently, however, I read about an archeological dig near Fla (8 miles away - if memory serves) of a Sami encampment. The article stated there were two types of Sami, "Sea" Sami, of the far north, and "Mountain and Forest" Sami who settled well into southern Norway - keeping to the mountains. The article also stated these Sami were assimilated much earlier than the "Sea" Sami, many taking over farms after the Black Death killed off many in Norway from 1350 to about 1550 - and that names like "Odegard" were an indicator of people who had taken over an abandoned farm. I have checked my grandmother's family back as far as I am able, but working with names only - I am unable to locate indicators of a point when Sami may have become part of the family. One other thing, I have a sister-in-law who is descended from an American immigrant family who were Sami from northern Norway. However she is what she refers to as "White" Sami - white blond hair and very light complected - whereas we are "Dark" or "Black" Sami.

Very interesting. With time and more evolved dna analysis, you'll find more answers (as well as questions). I'm American and both my parents have a large share of Norwegian ancestry. From Telemarken and from Lunde. My son did a dna test and found he had dna from a specific area i Siberia, from my ancestry, not his father's which is Greek- Bulgarian.
This video is inspirational.
@menashakate my family from Sweden came to America 1602, the Urians
My National Geographic Genome Project indigenous DNA said I’m 70% Sami. My Swedish immigrant grandmother never mentioned it.
wonderful heritage you have ...
@ My grandmother’s family immigrated to Northern Wisconsin about 20 minutes from the Sami heritage center in Duluth Minnesota.I’ve wondered if they were escaping persecution, so she wanted that kept a secret. My other grandmother was French Canadian . Her family went back to the early 1600’s. There had to have been Sami somewhere else as well.
@@KellyK-il2bk Some French-Canadians have Normandy ancestry, which can be traced back to Scandinavia eventually.
70% is very high for only having one grandparent who is Sami.
@@Gwenhwyfar7 It's impossible.
My wife is Native American, and loves the movie Frozen 2. She especially liked the Northuldra people since there were a lot of similarities with her ancestral native culture. When I told her about the Sami, she was fascinated. Disney had consulted with Sami people when making the movie.
It is great to hear your wife is fascinated by the Sami. Your wife's connection to Native American culture is wonderful ...
The tragic untrue image of wolves in Frozen broke my heart. Wolves just like indigenous peoples are so horribly persecuted based on lies.
I just left a comment inquiring about the Native American connection AND another Native American Ancient Marker that is somewhere in the area of the Mideast to Near East or even Turkey "?"

Stop the bullshit KellyK. You don't know anything about wolves or native culture beyond a cartoon.
Native American and Sami music sounds very similar. It doesn't seem to have changed much over time
Thank you for this interesting and well presented video
Glad you enjoyed it
👍👍👍👍👍❤️
From Palestine we love you Sami people. We the indigenous have our own culture, heritage, and history. It's sad in 2025 to still be under oppression! Till this day we both are not given our rights, but as long as we keep our identity, we will never be defeated. Thanks for all the free spirits out there that defend the rights of indigenous people.
You can't compare this!
You don't have nothing in common with people who lived in - what we call now - Palestine 1000, 2000 or 3000 years ago. They were not Muslims, they did not speak Arabic and their DNA was different. What happend in Palestine happend in all the region there: Syria, Lebanon, Turkey, Iraq, etc.: it was always another group who ruled there - and people who lived there had to submit or had to go (Kurds, Greeks, Armenians, Isrealites, Druses, etc)
@@epona1525 This is simply not true a single bit! Palestinians today share the same genes of native population from 6000=9000BC. Yes they were not muslims or christians nor did they speak arabic...but this is all human history! People and culture evolve but they are the same people. They spoke Aramiac which is a sister language of Arabic, and Actually in this region(levant) Northern Arabic came to exist. As of religon nations changed religion throughout history. Finally you can see many Palestinian traditions from Canaanite era like cuisine, music, vocab and even fashion! Don't try to water down any native population...Yes nations change language and religion but they keep heritage and I have seen it in many countries like Ireland, Egypt, Basque, and Japan.
@@epona1525
That is a lie! It has been genetically proven that Palestinians are related to the Canaanites. They have been there thousands of years and are indigenous to the area.
This video completely overlooks the persecution of the Sami people by the Christian Church. Sami religious artefacts were systematically destroyed and their religious culture oppressed.
I believe that's a different era of focus. But noteworthy value.
.
The christians did that to everyone. People like to pretend it's a religion of peace, but its history is all extremely bloody conversion by the sword, oppression, destruction, and brutality.
It also overlooks the genocide and ethnic cleansing of white indigenous Norwegians by Sami invaders.

@@RuneBrsj-zm7vi The Sámi people are considered one of the indigenous groups of Scandinavia, but whether they were the first settlers is a bit more complex. Evidence suggests that people migrated to Scandinavia after the last Ice Age, around 11,000 years ago. These early settlers were hunter-gatherers, and it's possible that the Sámi culture evolved from some of these groups over time.
Archaeological and genetic evidence indicates that the Sámi are linked to ancient hunter-gatherer populations in northern Europe. They developed their distinct culture and way of life over thousands of years, centred around reindeer herding, fishing, and hunting, in what is now Norway, Sweden, Finland, and Russia’s Kola Peninsula.
However, other groups also migrated to Scandinavia, including early Germanic-speaking peoples who settled further south. So, while the Sámi are among the earliest and longest-surviving inhabitants of northern Scandinavia, it's not entirely clear if they were the absolute first people there. Their history and identity as an indigenous people, however, are deeply tied to the region.
This sounds exactly what was done to the American Indians, forcibly removing the children to Missionary schools and trying to erase their language & culture. Thank you so much for this video.
And indigenous People of Siberia. They share same tragic story only the culprits are different.
Also with the Aborigines in Australia, later than with the Native Americans.
And to the Canadian Indians. Seems to have been the common playbook in the 18 and 1900s.
That allways happened all over the globe to all conquerred people....dehumanising! Look into every people's history and still going on. Dehumanising!.... not looking in the eye, not speaking their language, not recognising their traditions and folklore, ruling over them with harsh methods, letting them do all the dirty heavy work noone else wants to do for any price. So many people suffered under these restrictions. And still do.
We call ourselves: 'Homo Sapiens Sapiens'. Yes, twice 'sapiens'. The ultimate arrogance! Just 'Homo' is more then enough. And all our ancestry too, please. All included. Because all contributed to our existence here now. They roamed the earth. They fought against horrible fauna and cleared away many of them so we now can thrive unhindered. Learned to live on and use the benefits of the flora. Learned about the waters, the skies, the lands.
In my opinion, we as the latest more 'civilised' (while living in cities) and educated (first only the 'elites' and since a few hundred years also the lower classes) encountered the last living archaic ancients and wrote about them in their scriptures. Mostly with names starting with 'H', wich allways has to do with a 'human'.
Lol this was done everywhere. Religion was imposed and children indoctrinated... coz it's the only was to buy into religious bullshit. And it works.
I’m of the Sámi from my mother’s side. My dna is from Northern Lapland in Finland and Finnmark in Norway, with percentage of Siberian genes which is common in the Sámi people. After investigating my genealogy, I have relatives in Sámi families throughout the Sápmi, excluding the Kola Peninsula in Russia.

I'm from Scotland (northern) , a group of us did DNA tests for an American clan society, which revealed two ingredients, Celtic (dominant) and Finnish, or Sami. The ice caps extended over Scotland, and melted at the same time as the Sami moved over Scandinavia.
I know my statement will have kick back from those who don't want to hear it, but it can't be helped, of a group of 12 of us, I was typical, 88% Celtic, 12% Finnish (or Sami). My DNA is linked to Canadian Indians and Eskimo. I have no viking / Germanic connections. I was expecting at least some viking. Apparently in southern Scotland the Sami connection isn't so strong
sorry, but the timeline does not add up. your Finnic/Sami ancestry is likely due to some recent introduction. i understand you dont want to hear this, but it cant be helped.
Your Sami DNA is probably the part of the Sami heritage from the mesolithic era, when the Stone Age people wandered up along the ice, across Doggerland to Scandinavia and the British Isles. Don't listen to those who reject your theory. Many people do not realize that the Sami have a much older heritage in Europe than they think. They imagine that the Sami migrated in 3000 years ago, which this video rejects.
@ I'm happy enough what you say, but the DNA of myself and 11 others is saying we are Celtic / Finns. I cant change that. 12% is a large number, and a good friend of mine from the west coast (I'm north east) has 92% Celtic, 8% Finnish. Scotland is on the edge of Europe, we aren't like Hungary Germany, France, England or even Ireland with a much bigger mix of peoples. Scotland is one of the least fertile countries in Europe, our landscape is like northern Scandinavia, so there was never much to blunder for anyone looking in.
You were expecting at least some Viking, you said. That Finnish dna can be the Viking part. Some Finns took part in the Viking ransacking business, also Vikings mixed with the Finns and the Sami long before they ever went to the British Isles and Ireland and mixed with the Celts. In DNA lottery you can miss the Danish/Norwegian/Swedish part and get the Finn/Sami part.
@@ahkkariq7406 "They imagine that the Sami migrated in 3000 years ago, which this video rejects." not so much rejects as explain that the Sami acquired certain genetic traits from early European hunter/gatherers that had inhabited the area since the end of the ice age. it is this admixture of Siberian/Uralic and early European hunter/gatherers that set the Sami apart from other Finno-Ugric groups.
it is suggested that these early Hunter/gatherers were the first to follow the receding ice sheets into Europe (including Doggerland), some 12000 years ago, while the Sami is thought to have migrated into Fenno-Scandia some 3500 years ago. thou the earlly hunter/gatherer genetic make-up is now mostly extinct in modern Europeans.
linguistically there is even a proposed sub-strata in Sami some languages, toponyms and such, that might point to these earlier inhabitants.
the point is that if there are shared genetic markers between Sami and some modern Scots, this is likely due to those early hunter/gatherers leaving their genetics in both groups, not that Scots and Sami intermingled directly.
who were the Picts?
My mom married my adopted dad and they had my sister. My adopted dad was from Finnescandia.
In 1970 we went on the common American family trip to the Grand Canyon. On the way we stopped on the Navajo reservation.
We were walking up to a shop door and stopped to allow a family to exit through the door. My 3 year old sister was leading the way and that family’s 3 year old daughter was leading the way as well.
They meet as if the door were a receding curtain. These two three year olds were face to face and it was as if they were looking into a mirror. These two had the same eye shape, face shape, toddler pot belly, legs and all of their parts were a match.
Everyone, who witnessed this meeting, just stopped and stared. The only difference, between them, was that the other family’s daughter had coal black Navajo hair and my sister’s hair was bleach white blonde.
My mom had studied my dad’s ancestry and was able to explain how they could look alike through my dad’s Sami roots. My sister grew up to look very much like Renee Zellweger with their Sami eyes. It was most startling when Renee gained weight for Bridget Jones. Far more like her sister than mine.
Your video takes a deep dive into a similar explanation. Done so beautifully and with scientific research to back it up. What a treat. Thank you.
what a wonderful moment you have shared, thanks ..
Renee Zellweger actually has Finnish roots, not Sami. It seems Norwegians and Swedes easily mix Finns and Sami, which has been a centuries-long occurrence, being called Finns, Lapps, Kvens... all meaning both or either of the two peoples.
@@amarialight~ If she is Finnish then it seems quite rational to think she may have some Sami just like my sister. They call the shape of Renee’s eyes “Sami eyes”. I cannot fathom how anyone would think Renee’s ancestors do not have some Sami’s included. Certainly not based on the declaration of total strangers to her.
"Sami eyes" - you need to know that samis are most likely to be caucasian, not having slint eyes, since that group migrated 3000 yrs at first, whilist first samis as caucasian eyes were already living
@@trixy1823 very many Finns have Asian looking or monolid eyes, even more so than the Sami. Still, they are not Sami, but Finnish. Sami and Finns are very closely related though. Her grandmother's last name is Hildonen (Hiltunen) which is purely a Finnish name from Eastern Finland.
Hey, really good. The Saami/Lap have interested me for a long time but I knew little of them. You have helped me know more. Thank you.
thanks for your kind words ...
BTW ...
As a Karelian/Saami admixed person I have no problem with the word “Lapp”.
Karelians used to call each other Lapps and it was not a derogatory term, but described people still living in wilderness/hunting areas. My Karelian gran’s people were called Lapps for this reason even though they weren’t Saami. On the other side of the family, we had some real Saami and those cousins were called “Firelapps”, maybe because they lived further up North where aurora borealis, “revontulet” (foxfire in English) could clearly be seen.
I can relate. I am Sea Sami from Northern Norway. In Norwegian, the Sami were called "finn/finner", presumably because part of the culture was to gather (find/finne) plants in nature. I have no problem with the term Finn, but today I use Sami because the Sami from the mountains, who were not Norwegianized to the same extent as us, have a more negative experience of the term. We belong to the same people, and in our language we call ourselves Sami.
Although I have lost the language, it lived in my family for so long that my father could speak Sami, and my mother understood the language. Therefore, I feel ownership of the language.
@@ahkkariq7406 Hi ... Obviously there had been negative experiences with that term up in your neck of the woods, I get that, but since I grew up with close, “homey” and heartfelt associations with it, I still have difficulty in cognizing the word as something negative.
Also btw …. Here I would like to take the opportunity to extend a greeting to my Norwegian Saami cousins (although quite distant) from Enontekiö to Kautokeino.

Thank you for your post. You have clearly demonstrated that the Sami People have their roots in Scandanavia including Finland and much of the surrounding area. These people must be recognized for the role they have played in populating their homeland.
I can only wish them the very best possible outcome.
Their roots are in Asia. They invaded and conquered the north of Norway around 2.000 years ago, and Sweden and Finland before that.
Harald Hårfagre (or Fairhair as you translate it to) had a favourite seeress he called on for important matters. She is said to have been Samí.
There was no animosity between the Samí and the Norse. Not till the monks and their "loving religion" arrived.

Scandinavia does not include Finland. Finland has not treated Sami the same way as Norway or Sweden. Finnish (especially Northern Finnish) DNA is very similar to Sami DNA.
EXCELLENT study of these fascinating people!
I've often wondered what trade routes or cultural exposures led the Sami to their consumption of coffee? I'm guessing they learned of it from their neighbors/oppressors, the Swedes, who first learned of it in the mid-17th century in the writing of Swedish statesmen Claes Rålamb, who had led a Swedish delegation to Istanbul, Turkey. Thirty years later Sweden received it's first beans, and eventually Sweden's King Charles XII (who enjoyed coffee during a visit to Turkey) became Sweden's enthusiastic "early-adopter". By the early 18th century coffees availability had risen and cost had dropped to the point that it had become a middle class sensation, and I believe this the the period where the Sami first acquired the taste, likely trading for it in exchange for their furs and pelts.
I'd love to hear from anyone who's also studied this question!
I hope you don't mind if I interject my thoughts. Coffee seems to taste much better on a cold day. In warm weather I am repulsed by that nasty, bitter, brown liquid. In cold weather, even black coffee is enjoyable.
@@alexanderlapp5048 Your input is ALWAYS welcome! Thanks!
Through church coffee perhaps? If that existed back then. Maybe the missionaries introduced coffee with the gospel?
@ximono,
Maybe it was the merchants. The could have offered the Sami a hot cup of coffee. When they wanted more, they wanted furs in exchange for coffee.
Addictive substances have been traded that way for a very long time. The Sami were probably getting along fine without coffee before they knew it existed. The Chinese were doing great before opium was introduced to them, American Indians were doing well before they had whiskey.
@@alexanderlapp5048 That could also be it, maybe more likely. At least coffee is a lot better than opium and whiskey :)
Long may these beautiful people advance.
Sounds like how the US treated Native Americans.
And how Scottish Gaelic speakers were treated by England Britain
@@CharlesGorrieand Spain treated its Gaelic speakers in Galicia.
Well, it seems to me like all european colonial powers did more or less the exact thing whenever and wherever we came across indigenous people all over the world. I guess it’s because of the colonial mindset most europeans had back in the day.
But anyways, @TexasTrosper is absolutely true in his/her qoriginal post. In Sweden we did really treat the Sami people almoust exactly like the US treated native americans. Not very surprising, the results of us forcing our culture and religion down their throats had the exact same effect and to this day a lot of the Sami people living in Sweden have many (if not all?) of the same social problems associated with the native american peopulation in the US.
One of the worst parts about this, is that the way we treated the Sami people in Sweden was very much based on the idea that we were actually helping them to bevome civilized. But regardless of motives, we sure managed to do one Hell of a nasty number on them. In the process we broke their cultural identity and to this day a lot of people ”blessed” by western (colonial) civilization still have a lot of social problems because of it. The results around the world speaks for itself and that’s a huge f*cking tragedy. 😔

My great great great grandmother was Northern Sami and was from a reindeer herding family. In every generation there’s at least one of us that looks full blood Sámi. My dad was the one in his generation as was his father. I’m the one in mine. My son and my big brother’s youngest daughter are the ones in their generation. However, both my brothers and my youngest sister as well as all of my son’s generation have a recognizable Sámi look, especially in the eyes. My dad says I look exactly like my great great great grandmother except for my hair color. I almost never get cold. I’m definitely more suited to a high fat diet. I’ve got a bunch of the other markers too. I’ve never done the genetic testing to see what I’ve inherited but based off looks, metabolism, cold tolerance, cheek bones, eyes, rib cage, hand and foot size, it’s always utterly fascinating to learn more about my Sámi grandmother’s people.

Doesn't really mean anything, when the Finns predate the Sami by thousands of years. It just means they mixed, competed or coexisted. In Norway Sami only arrived about 2000 years ago. Likely by invasion.
@RuneBrsj-zm7vi Finns settled Finland only some 1500 yeard ago from east and south...
It is the same in Norway. In the 12th century, Borgartingsloven reduced the ban on the Norwegian local population in Eastern Norway seeking out the Sami in order to have non-Christian religious services performed.
Borgarting applies to Oslo and the neighbouring areas. The law would not have such provisions if there were no Sami nearby.
I have U5b1b1a (the “Sami Motif”) and I see a lot of flags from Scandinavia, especially Finland around my DNA data entry. The problem is I am from the Balkans. According to AI I must be representing a “remnant”. The DNA stuff is like rocket science but thus far the “theoretical paths” for my maternal lineage point to a migration from south-west Asia to south-west Europe maybe 40 thousand years ago when the Neanderthal was still around and was associated with the first cultures of Europe- the Aurignacian, Gravetian etc. After the last Ice Age it moves to Central Europe and from there it either goes directly to the Balkans (which would mean the “Sami motive” was formed in Central Europe) or goes up to Scandinavia before coming down to the Balkans. The strange thing for me is I’ve never considered myself much of a “European” but DNA evidence points to a maternal link to the very first Europeans. According to AI these were not only “Western Hunter Gatherers” but simply first “Homo Sapiens” in Europe whose lineage still survives. My late mother would have been surprised.

And most people in far northern Sweden, both samis and farming swedes, helped each other in the harsh landscape. Both eager to avoid the representatives of the monarch.
Fun fact: Sami people were introduced in North America to work as reindeer herders for the Lomen company. As promotions to make Americans eat reindeer meat, there were organised parades in American cities where reindeers pulled Santa Claus on a sledge, and the Sami worked as Santa's helpers. One can still see today how Santa's helper's clothes have drawn inspiration from Sami clothing.

The reason why Sami and reindeer were imported from Norway was that the indigenous population in Alaska needed more livelihoods, but it did not work very well, except in mixed families between Sami and Innuit.
Reindeer husbandry was shut down in the USA by the Beef industry who feared competition
So what? It’s been done to EVERY native population by the later occupiers of the native lands. The real question is “Now what?”
It is important knowledge because the Sámi still today live under forced, albeit "unwanted" Norwegianization (probably the same in the other Nordic countries), and old myths that the Sámi migrated in after the Norwegians, killed the Norwegians and stole their land are alive and well. You will also find it in this comment section.

Why people don't became farmers is simply because it was almost not possible to do farming in the most northern regions of Scandinavia. What was possible was to sow a bit of barley and hay. This cattle was what people had who were "farmers" thus they didn't differ very much from the Sami. Furthermore, lots of people lived more like trappers with a sustenance by fishing and hunting mostly.
There is a natural border between Norwegian and Sami where the border for growing grain runs. In Norse culture, growing grain was essential because beer and mead were part of the religious rituals. Grain was needed to make beer. Therefore, Norse people had no desire to settle further north than to have access to grain before Christianization. There was also a peaceful agreement with the Sami neighbors about where the border between the two peoples was. Norwegians had great respect for the Sami because they were skilled shamans, and they were trading partners. You can read about this in the book "Samenes historie frem til 1750" by Bjørnar Olsen and Lars Ivar Hansen.

All of that around the world, including with the Native Americans and all of the wars in history are all manipulated events from the satanic cult which has been behind the scenes for 6,000 years. I have Sami ancestry, and my Norwegian ancestors came to the US to escape the corruption in Europe, and were greeted here with a demand to fight the Native Americans, or face execution. No man coming here for freedom would allow himself to be executed so that his wife and children would be left behind in the control of such evil. And, the immigrants here were also blocked from returning to Europe, which is a clear crime that they could not fight due to their vulnerabilities as immigrants. The satanic cult has had too much control and negative influence on everyone, and at this point, I personally would rather celebrate the goodwill of the people who the satanists attacked. Granted, the cabal is already taken down by the White Hats at this moment, or else that would be my priority. But now while the world recovers, I would rather recognize the goodness in people, so that we know that is what the cult attacked. We are safe to do that now that the cult doesn't loom over world affairs anymore.
Notice that if you do an internet search of Nordic people, English People, and German People, you will see blonds, brunettes, and blonds again, in that order. Why? Because the English have Egyptian ancestry. Granted, many pharaohs were fair complected with red hair, but there were also dark haired, probably Cainite Egyptians, too. The Egyptians were satanic, and when the Biblical Israelites (fair complected peoples with colorful eyes and hair, aka the Germanic peoples) left the middle east and Egypt to come to Europe, the Cainites could not stand it and so stalked us into Europe. They are the Italians, who, genetically, are related to the joos. The Italians are evil, but the joos claim to be descendants of satan, and they are the infamous hook nosed people with big ears and are related to the Italians. Italy was established only as cover for the Cainites, who used to live in Venice until only 2016, and were the head of the entire global satanic cult. A sect of them got to England, which explains the brown haired English in the middle of the blond Israelite countries. The English attacked Scotland, Ireland, and Wales, because it was an ancient continuation of the spiritual war between Cain (descendants of satan) and Able (descendants of Adam, the Israelites), between good and evil, the global battle of the last 6,000 years, which was just finally won a few days ago.

I have Sami ancestry, too, and the Norwegian side of my family doesn't like to talk about it. Also, I was speaking to some Norwegians online last year, who wanted to go back to "the old ways," which means satanism amongst other things, and they were also against the Sami. The Sami were also satanic, so one would think that the Norwegians I was talking to were on the side of the Sami, but they said they were against them because the Sami had central Asian ancestry (the video mentions Siberian ancestry, but I always thought it was central Asian ancestry). The Sami have been discriminated against racially, but it doesn't make any sense to me that their satanism is overlooked, almost "okayed." Sometimes the world is strange!
@@cozycoffee3831
They had their own religion which was not Satanism. Satanism only occurs within Christian societies.
How similar is this story to that of Europeans' treatment of indigenous Peoples in the Americas, much of which continues to occur.
Reindeer keeping is a late addition to the samis, a few hundred years.
Also I believe that for a large portion of the overall Sámi population, fishing has been the main livelihood over te centuries, rather than reindeer herding or hunting.
Sweden treated Finnish speakers in northern Sweden pretty much the same as Finland treated the Sami people in northern Finland.
However, I am happy to report that Finland has treated our Swedish speaking minority much better. It may be a coincidence that they comprise a large fraction of our cultural, political and financial elite.
Food for thought...
This story is oversimplified. And certainly doesn’t take into account all the financial benefits Sami peoples enjoys today, and the generosity and tolerance of the Norwegian nation. This black/white narrative is a typical reductive and revisionist representation that doesn’t form a truthful and nuanced historical basis for the complex interactions between nomadic and agricultural and modern societies. The situation today is that the Sami population in Norway enjoys a range of economic and social benefits that are among the best in any country in the world. Also it is unfair to take the relationship between Norwegians and Sami people out of its historical context. Ethic minorities have been treated differently and admittedly with little or no tolerance for their cultural differences. In a predominantly Christian conservative society, the religious superstition and strange practices, was of course in strict conflict with the church. This has been the same pattern we have seen in many countries all over the world. The history Sami peoples must therefore be remembered in its historical perspective. This video is very romanticized and biased.
sad, you destroy a culture and language, then throw a few coins as if they even needed it, give them their land and do not destroy them any further ...
@ Is the Sami culture destroyed? Certainly not in Norway.
@@evoinception And by the way, the Sami people’s land has been recognized since in the so called ’Lappkodisilen’, where this special codicil formalised the rights of the Lapps or Sámi people to continue with their traditional migratory reindeer herding across the newly formalised border between the then Danish territory of Norway and Sweden. It also had provisions about citizenship and taxes among other things. The Lappkodisilen is the foundation for the Sami people’s land rights as recognized already in 1751.
During which period do you regard land acquisition as legitimate?
Another interesting thing is that my father's DNA has Denisovan markers.
That is interesting! I wonder how rare that is or not…
Omg yes. My mtdna is U5b and I have more Denisovan dna than Neanderthal. The Denisova cave is in Siberia.
@@Hi-Phi Thank you for sharing. I didn't know that there were more people than my father with this profile. But this is very very logical.
@@evaberglund8144
Yep. It makes sense in relation to. this video, that’s for sure.
thank you so much for this video as I am Part Sami on my grandpa's side his grandma being from Sweden and after doing my DNA test saw I had 1.5% dna from mainland asian and 1% dan Finnish in addition to the DNA of SWEDEN. I AM SO HAPPY TO LEARN ABOUT WHAT CULTURE I LOST AND NEVER HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE BROUGHT UP IN SADLY.. BUT IT GIVES ME HOPE FOR Rising my children on our true cultural roots someday
thanks for your kind words ...
All these ancient peoples are where we came from-and are the future,
This is NO DIFFERENT than what happened in Canada, the US, Australia... to Indigenous people.
Hmmm, that boarding school thing sounds strangle familiar. Don’t you remember that exact same things happening to indigenous peoples in Canada and the United States?
Inuits should get an own country and so the Samis aswell.
And in Australia.
I myself live in the USA. A very large amount of my Ancestors are Sami. Thank you for your information.
Thanks for sharing! It's incredible how far those roots reach.
Finns and sami share approx. 50% dna. 1 000 years ago both languages were mere dialects.
Finns have also endured pressure from swedes, norwegians, russians to assimilate and to change their language. Ingrian finns even faced ethnic clensing from USSR. Most vulnerable have been though the sapmi people.
Corrective measures have been unfortunately miniscule, some progress have been made in recent times.
One hour of home language studies in Sweden and Russia to learn sami, finnish and carelinian does not cut though. It is not even compulsary to save the language 🤔
Finland outshines here giving swedish minority (300 000) inhabitants full education from kindergarten to university in swedish. Progress in forgotten carelinian language and indigenous sami education is though yet needed. Problem with carelinian is that it is too near finnish. Viena dialect is just a finnish dialect, but livvi is mixed with veps language and russian lian words so it is harder to understand without engagement.
Reindeer herding is a new phenomena, 200 years old. Sapmi and finns came after the wild mountain reindeer and forest reindeers to fennoscandia. There are 20 000 wild mountain reindeers in southern Norway and 3 000 forest reindeers in Finland and in Russian Carelia 2 000 of them. The reintroduction program in southwestern Finland increases the amount of wild forest reindeers every year and brings them back to old forest reindeer habitats in northern and southern Suomenselkä. In Russia the amount keeps declining due of illegal hunting.
The semitame mountain reindeers are plentifull in northern parts of nordics. In Finland 200 000. In Sweden and Norway way more. There is even too much of them for the area and yet fewer people each year get their whole livelyhood from it.
They are so keen on support palestinians but they are not so keen on support sami people.
Tipical Hipocracy....
That is very magnanimous of the Finnish government that it allows the Swedish minority to be taught in its own language.
@@BarryHart-xo1oy and what about sami education.
@@BarryHart-xo1oy what about sami education????
Excellent insight into this culture. Thank you.
The Sami, Finnish, and Estonian languages are related to Hungarian. None of them is an Indo-European language, making those languages and cultures unique in modern Europe.
Only the vowl harmony are similar with Hungary ää öö. I work with a Hungarian Finn and she assures me the language is very different. Her parents communicate in English with each other
@@thomasreilly6362 Of course the languages are very different now. They had different influences over the last thousand years. I grew up with a Finnish girl whose parents spoke Finnish among themselves. I could often get the gist of what they were saying. My father had a Finnish colleague. They amused themselves by comparing words from the dictionaries of both languages and found many, many words that were similar.
@ There are certain words in Indonesian that are also similar to Finnish. But mean different things. I can understand some Swedish and German because they have similar structures to English and French but I can’t speak them. Estonian is also similar to Finnish. But from experience with both Finns and Hungarians they can not communicate using each other’s language
@@thomasreilly6362 My example was about words that mean the same thing in both Finnish and Hungarian, not words that just sound the same. As I said, I was able to get the gist of Finnish conversation. I didn't claim fluent communication.
@@agnesvanya2329In an old 50's dictionary the connection between fiinish and hungarian was exemplified with sentence: Hal uit eläväenen viz alatten= Kala ui elävänä veden alla
My maternal haplogroup is U5b1b. Women carrying U5b1b crossed the Mediterranean Sea from either Spain or Italy into northern Africa, where their descendants can now be found in Morocco among the indigenous Berbers and their descendants. A separate migration carried U5b1b to eastern Europe, and then northward into eastern Scandinavia by about 6,000 years ago. Today haplogroup U5b1b can be found in the Berbers of northern Africa and the Saami, or Lapps, of northern Finland.Being blond I identify myself with Saamis.
Hi there, I do have a soft spot for Berbers and looking at the facial tattoos of Berber women and then the markings on Saami drums - the similarity sometimes makes me wonder ….
Yes, I remember reading about the link researchers found between them. Truly fascinating!
Anybody complaining about the summarization of Sami History before the genetics were discussed really should get their heads checked. This video promised a dark secret, and that dark secret is that the Sami were mistreated by the Norwegians and other Scandinavians.
I'm Norwegian, and as far as I could tell there was nothing controversial in the introduction. I had to go back to double-check if I had missed anything after seeing some of the comments.
We already knew they were mistreated and clicked for some new genetic information which none was given. 👎
The way they were treated was reprehensible. But it was nothing compared to how they treated the true indigenous Norwegians.
Taking away their children and cultural genocide, is just about as dark as it gets
@@Googolgon Its honestly strange.
As an Indigenous American I’ve watched several movies about them. Please support their right to live and speak their language. My Federally Recognized Tribe went through many atrocities but three SISTERS were hidden by farmers when the soldiers came. These SUSTERS were instrumental in keep our BAND alive.
This also happened in the US.
Fascinating! Thank you!
Thanks for watching! 😊
It has been speculated that when the Artic Ocean was open thousands of years ago, there was culture that lived on shores. They found trade of rocks and minerals in northvAsia, Siberia, nothern Europe, and the nortern Americas.
A note about Sami and Reindeer herding. Reindeer have always been important for Sami but it's also a colonizing tool. Let me explain. Historically Sami have mainly been fishing, gathering and hunting in a semi nomadic fashion, reindeer being one of the game animals but not the most important. Looking at the south Sami language there's loan words from old norse (just as there's Sami loan words in Norse) about keeping and milking suggesting these were practices introduced to the Sami at about 1500 years ago. This evolved in to the intensive type of reindeer herding done in the south of Sapmi where you have a few animals, keep a close watch, use them as pack animals and milk them. This was done in tandem with fishing and hunting in a seminomadic way all over the nordic forests. This changed in the 1600's when colonizing began in earnest and a heavier tax burden was laid on the Sami population.
In response to that a more extensive type of reindeer herding began with larger herds to produce more skins to sell and pay taxes with and a more nomadic lifestyle since large herds need large grazing areas. The type of kåta (tent) with two distinct arches was developed at this time since it was more portable. Some Sami communities was not affected by this taxation and continued to live as normal, mainly forest Sami who had side income from crafts and trapping, and fishing Sami along the coasts. One ecological effect of this change in herding was the extinction of forest-reindeer on the scandinavian peninsula since their smaller herds was absorbed by the larger herds of mountain reindeer.
So when colonization in the 1900's stepped up a notch (when the economical value of Sami trade became lower then timber and iron) together with racist ideas they wanted Sami to be as different from Scandinavians as possible so they defined Sami by the trade most different, reindeerherding. This policy, Lapp ska vara Lapp, was only targeted at reindeerherders in the mountains meaning they had to bear the brunt of social stigma while other Sami could hide and integrate. This has created problems today in two ways. First. people discovering their ancestry today or coming forward as Sami, and are not reindeer herders, are seen as showoff and not true Sami within the Sami community since they only stepped forward now when it's "easy". This divide and conquer situation all to common among colonized. Second, all legal rights to the use of land is bound to reindeerherding. All land that was unlawfully declared by the states as theirs can only be used in some ways by reindeerherders.
Superinteresting. I thrive in cold conditions too (Dutch), perhaps I have some Saami roots.
Perhaps you can do something similar about the Kawaskar.
The native tribes of Patagonia? They lived pretty isolated in South America.
I have noted your suggestion ..
All aboriginal ppl were treated the same way. The sami.. the anui.. the aboriginals Australian.. indigenous ppl of the Americas.. t v ey tried to kill us all off but failed. Unfortunately they did succed with some ppl. 😢
The ice dissapeared from the South AND the North of Fenoscandia. The first ancestors of present Sami settled in the very North and was seperated by a huge remaining ice sheet in the middle.
I am Turkish. The gene test says I am Sami ?
wonderful ancestors to have ...
Sounds a similar story to Australian indigenous peoples
Being a Forest Sami, I think the Tsaatan are actually much more fascinating than my racist reindeer herding relatives. The Tsaatan treat reindeers like a family, which is closer to my heart. There are also Komi, Khanty, Yakut, Koryak, Chukchi, and Itelmen peoples who all tend reindeers.
Yakuts are more with horses, reindeers are more of a evenks/evens animals who lives in the same areas, but they are nomadic, while the yakuts are settled people
@@alexandracotton4514 according to Wikipedia they do, but yes probably Evenks and Evens tend reindeers more. But it's not my point. In Finland, more Finns tend reindeers than Sami, and all Sami are 100% settled (no more nomadic lifestyle). Still they pretend to be the only reindeer herders in the world and act like they own the reindeers and the nomadic lifestyle. The reindeer herding portion of Sami who came to Finland from Norway in the 1800s is very racist towards the original Sami people of Finland.
I am from Southern Bulgaria but my DNA test showed that I have some of their genes through the maternal side. My mother has similar facial phenotype as the Sámi people.
Always take their language and history away from the indigenous people all over the world.
Every culture was assimilated.
Conquer and divide....😢
And religion or belief system. For some reason they think theirs is the best and saving the poor souls is their mission 😂
It even happens voluntarily. My children: mother Estonian, looks more like Sami, has surely some Germany influence from her family history. Some Russian too. And the father of her father is unknown. I’m German. My father is biologically Greek but more is unknown as well. From my mothers side there’s some Swiss and probably Italian influence as well. Not to forget the German Alemannic influence. So over only 4 generations it covers half of Europe and several different ancestries. 😊
And: my first wife was Hungarian. Dark skin. There’s a girl as well, half German, half Hungarian.
@volkerr.
Ich bin auch Deutsch. My ancestors were assimilated by the regime..
But why? And by whom? Christian Religion? What's behind this? What want they to destroy?
@birgitgro-probst7747
They destroy to conquer. They conquered your people too unless ur one of them playing innocent...sooo persecuted. Learn ur history and u might get a clue
Well, I must say, after watching the photoos, that especially the west-Sami-people look a lot like my mid-dutch-family-members (frisian ancestrary, which shows in our dna by 'My Heritage'). The older our remaining photoos... the greater resemblance, but also from my brother and me as children.
Voor mij ook zo, ik dacht even dat ik mijn zus ertussen zag staan 😄

Sounds like the same thing that was done to American Indians. Unfortunately, while today’s western world feigns tolerance, there is, in reality, a greater push toward homogeneity. In example, is the “woke” crowd or the “cancel culture” really more tolerant? No, the targeted group and the model to which it is to be assimilated has shifted. It is a distinction without a difference.
Is there a link between the first people to enter North America via the Bering land bridge and the Sami
Did they show a connection with Native Americans? I recall that Native Americans have a value of DNA, Ancient DNA, from a couple areas in the Mideast area, (and maybe Asia Minor/Turkey), I would really appreciate clarity on this subject.
🚩 Further, it would be most valuabke to define the "Time Measure of DNA data", particularly for references of identifying and distinguishing between the Migrations and Seafaring (AdMix).
Oh to have an easy "Go To Resource" for these Facts!

They originally had the same lineage. They descend from the same Siberian culture.
Not really. Native Americans are related to the ancient - Proto-Europeans - by their paternal lineage. And Eastern Asian women by their maternal lineage. Saami are opposite - South-Eastern Asian paternal lineage mixed with European maternal lineage. European ancestors settled Americas during Mesolithic age. Saami ancestors settled in Europe during the Bronze age.
Read about the “Ancient North Eurasians” and the 24 000 year old Siberian Mal'ta Boy dna that links Native Americans & Europeans. Udmurts and Saami are the closest populations genetically to Malta Boy on the European side. Y-dna haplogroup Q that Indo-Europeans have from their link to Ancient North Eurasians migrated to Americas.
But when Saami take a dna test, they often get “Inuit” and “Mesoamerican and Andean” in their results. We all have “Siberian”, because Siberians came to us about 4000 years ago. This Siberian in us is partly “Yeniseian” and some of it geneticists can not tell apart from “Amerind” dna.
Read also about the Dene-Yeniseian Hypothesis which proposes a genetic relationship between the Na-Dene (or Athabascan-Eyak-Tlingit) languages of North America and the Yeniseian languages of Central Siberia. Both Tlingit and Saami are rather 'close' match to the before named Malta Boy.
Where did you find that?
Were there any countries that respected unique indigenous communities and found methods of co-existing?
It's a good, interesting story, and deserves to be told. But where, oh where are your sources? Will you put them into the description? Because they're not there when I write this.
The Oera Linda book explains everything about the Sami and their origins, as well as the black magic religion they brought with them from Asia.
Yep, Europe no better than the US -- at the time. No doubt the world.
The Sámi were not the first inhabitants. They are simply another tribe among many. Similarly, in pre-Columbian America, tribes also fought with one another.
This started in Finland hundreds of years before USA.
They're the same people.
You didn't discuss any possible connection with the Inuit of northern Canada and Alaska.

What genetic evidence is there of Sami presence in Scandinavia before the Iron Age?
Major Sami haplogroups, V and U5b1b1, date back to approximately 7,600 and 5,500 years before present respectively , both considerably earlier than the Iron Age which began around 500 BC in Northern Scandinavia.
The Samis ancestors were Eastern Hunter- Gatherers arriving from Kola peninsula and Finland. In southern Sweden these Eastern Hunter- Gatherers met, and admixture with Western Hunter- Gatherers. This mix of Hunter- Gatherers were incorpotated with farmers from Anatolia that brought agriculture to southern Scandinavia. And soon thereafter Yamnayas from Ukraine intermixed with the farmers in southern scandniavia. Roughly 2000 years later the Vikings intermixed with areas close to Scandinavia.
@@gurulf i think remember reading that Scandinavians got their Anatolian farmer dna indirectly from the bell beaker or corded wear movement north.
It didn't sit well with me.
@@gurulfno it’s not as you stated. the sami are of the same ancestry as the inuit and eskimo’s. the european admixture began with hunter gatherers. over time the European ancestry became half of their 🧬. the reason why they don’t look like the indigenous inuit of green land and Canada.
Iam sami. Our ancestors migrated from siberia 4000 years ago and absorded earlier populations and also steppe people mix. Those people before here were not sami as we were born about 4000-3000 years ago.
We originate from same people as nenets, nganasan and khanty camo from but we mixed with white folk. Literally.
Yakutoa LNBA migration look it up. From manchuria to east siberia to west and central siberia. Then some continued to Europe and mixed with euros.
Tribes that staid in siberia side became the samoyedic people
Also there is no mystery about our sami genetics so i dont understand why people talk about as like we were mystery. We are not genetic mystery haha. Just siberian/east asian european mix 4000 years ago😂😂😂
My Swedish ancestry, as best as I can tell, is from Västerbotten which is Swedish Lapland. I have never had DNA done so I have no idea if there's any Sami, though I can say I am very sensitive to heat. I'm at least heartened that there is a pretty strong recognized Sami population there. I hope they have the self-determination they deserve.
Just like the indigenous people of Canada. And, my friends, like all of us. The masters took over, and they want a faceless workforce, obedient and hard-working. Like Chinese.
Like any state government.
Long Live The Sami People. ❤
wonderfu people indeed ...
well what happened to the sami sounds very familiar
They did the same thing in Canada
The history of the Sami people has tragic moments, and I wonder if there is any country in the world where there has not been serious mistreatment of minorities in the last 2 centuries ? I already know many countries who had dark forced assimilation (or reject) policies in the past

Who knows what gene's came in from Doggerland
There are no Paleolithic or Mesolithic human remains from Doggerland yet, as far as I know, only one Neanderthal eyebrow. But if genetic material on both sides of the North Sea is alike, you might be right. In the Netherlands the earliest material is Mesolithic.
ALL original Nordics were Doggerlanders - me thinks.
My mtdna V and H1 (both Karelian and Saami) are claimed to have come from there. Y-dna I1 too (?)
Autosomally we are ‘close’ to Magdalenians as well - as far as I can see. So Magdalenians weren’t wiped out or replaced, only in Uk and Ireland perhaps.
It is just that Norwegians and Swedes have now got more Early European Farmer and later Bronze Age Indo-European expansion ancestry which obscures those earliest origins.
This is so interesting. Paulina see this.
