@@tonygomes6306 Relax. The Norwegians and the Sami are getting along just fine.

@@wilka171 thank you Wilka. Best wishes.

@@wilka171 PS;- Wilka, my original comment disappeared...????....

haha I’m sorry but that term makes me laugh. I’m also a black Norwegian in America. Ridiculously, people give me flack for not being blonde! I always wondered if we were part Sami.

SeaweedWitch I’m Norwegian by ethnicity, grew up and lives here, and a new study proves that Vikings weren’t all blond, and blued eyed as previously thought lol. Also actually skin tone isn’t the same as a tan. People always confuse the two. Most Norwegians back then where poor, and farmers so the majority would have a dark tan. My mom’s grandmother looks “black” in their old BW photo lol, because anything that isn’t white will come off black.

My matrilineal grandmothers were Sami and I grew up with my mom’s stories of their wisdom in healing arts(like curing TB!) and also wise council in legal disputes etc. As an American born I have always identified with Native culture and now I watch the undoing of the controller society as we are all now oppressed.

Yes, many of the Sami people have darker complexion (especialy hair) than people in general in Nordic countries. Though the notion that nordic people are mostly blondes is just not true. People who lived in the area of nordic countries some thousands of years ago were most likely quite dark skinned and dark haired. At least that's whatthe most recent studies say.

Lol no such things as a black skinned Saami. You probably mean dark tan! Saami are basically white, as no pure Saami exists today. Their ancestors on their paternal side migrated from Siberia Asia during the last Age Age to find land of their own as no women wanted to join them, and intermixed with the people already living in Norway since the Stone Age. They are related by DNA and language to the Suomi/Fins, and the Estonians, who are mixed with Germanic farmers aka Vikings, and Slavs. They're basically Eurasians passing as white. Fun fact: the biggest concentration of blonde hair is found among the Suomi, and blonde hair is a genetic trait that originated in Asia, not Europe.

You might be mixing the Sámi up with native Americans

@@refresh5690 They had Sami migrated to Alaska and northern Canada

@@markusantonio4866 Ye thats why i said might

@@refresh5690 My family was Sami and migrated to the Dakota's a long while back (100ish years ago) and even lived on the Oglala-Sioux reservation before moving to Rapid City was even possible for most people and also most Norweigen people didnt like them much so they really did my family a solid. My great grandma used to always fuck with me saying, "back in my day we had to ride a horse to school. BOTH WAYS!" A lot of the culture died out but theres still a Sami population in the Dakotas, whats left of all of them as a whole. I think its around 200k people left across all countries.

@@refresh5690 the women in the video are Sami.... What? 🤔

Thank you 😊😊

Because their ancestors came from the same place, Siberia in Asia.

@@riccardofioravanti what does that word mean?? I ask because it is a family name.

@@crazylady.. "Aho", which comes from the Lakota tradition, is not a word that can be translated, but the meaning is "I agree with what you say".

@@riccardofioravanti Thankyou for the quick reply. I find this interesting, as I learn more about my family that was hidden from me, or that made me feel like an outcast. See I knew that I was a 'Finlander' 3rd generation in the U.S. I just thought it meant they came from Finland. I didn't know that they were ashamed of being 'Sami'. Now at being 66 next month, I'm learning more about myself and 'why' I have always been drawn towards things and ways, what, I only thought were 'native' ways. But maybe were in me or my heritage? My mother's maiden name was " Aho" . This is why I asked you. Thankyou again. In looking up the names meaning, Google said it means a 'forest glade' or forest opening. :)

The Great Bouddica from the Icini tribe was in tune with the great Durids

They kinda do? Just one went to America the other went to Europe

Indigenous people of America come from several different haplogroups found in Asia/Middle East and even Europe. Sami mixed with Europeans? It’s common knowledge that genetically speaking, there isn’t much that separates the Sami from their fellow germanic neighbors. Europeans are the most mixed people on earth. 60-80% of all Norwegian men can trace their ancestry back to Anatolia Turkey on their paternal side because make immigrants from the Middle East and Turkey intermixed with the European population that had been there since the last Ice Age. It was more an adoption of a mew language and culture that separates the two.

@@kilipaki87oritahiti Yep. South and north americans are from two completely different groups of people. It seems like south americans came from polynesia by boat and north americans came later through russia-alaska connection. Its just that the north americans and Samis, who inhabited russia(from east to west near alaska) around the same times, share a lot of common things, not only culturally, but also share some physical similarities. To my knowledge it is not proven with certainty how these groups formed, but if you have some resources, i would be interested to see. Its been few years since i studied this in more depth. Samis come from same source as Finns for example it seems, which i think is same origin as most other europeans. But Samis have east and central asian genes also. I remember there was a theory about why eastern asian people have different shaped eyes, it said that likely they also were living in the north before migrating to southern areas where they live now and the eye lid shape is an adaptation to snow. You also see similar eye lid shape in eskimos and samis. I dont remember timelines for these events, so i would need to check them out. But i would see it as a possibility that at one point there were people in the north who consisted of early asians, sami and a bunch of these people went to north americas. Or maybe the people who went to north americas just passed through these territories and there was some mixing of genes there. Let me know if you know more about these things and have some input

@El Nazgûl He is totally wrong, but I'm pretty sure you are too. What words does Nahuatl share exactly, and with what Alaskan language? Also, that's beside his point because the Mexica are North American.

@@YrjoPuska777 Check your sources please. Nothing in the current science supports that. There may actually have been contact between Polynesians and South Americans, but that was between 1100-1300CE. About 10 000 years later than the South Americans has arrived, lol. The Sámi never migrated South. Quite the opposite, they used to live far in the Southern Finland, and were migrating further north. You can't even migrate into Sápmi from north, there's nothing but the sea there : D

Ian Forsyth Why do you isolate whites from indigenous? Not all whites are non-indigenous and not all indigenous are non-whites. Sámi are Finno-Ugric, just like Finns (whites). Are you saying Uralic (finno-ugric) people are not nature-loving, indigenous people?

No, not at all. I didn't mean to imply that. Absolutely the Sami are indigenous peoples, as are the Ainu of Japan and both groups had Caucasian roots. I wasn't referring to racial stereotyping; quite the opposite. More like "original inhabitants before the arrival of others". As for the last sentence of my post, I was just referring to North Americans of European heritage, which includes myself. Best wishes.

@Amalie Olsdatter I think it's a mistake. Pls read : en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/S%C3%A1mi_people

@Amalie Olsdatter I think it's a mistake. Pls read : en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/S%C3%A1mi_people

@Amalie Olsdatter true, they might have been the first people to live up in the arctic regions but saying they are the only natives of scandinavia is not really true. And people forget that the germanic tribes were a lot more similar to what we see as natives today, before the forced christening. On holy ground churches stand in place of what once was. Blood was spilled and memory lost.

Probably because Finnish people aren't Sami.

Not me, I am NATIVE NORSE

Free World these people are European but yes there is a lot of similarities.

+Free World We are all related. We all come from native, traditional, hunter gatherer, primitive pagan people. That some have lost that connection is not their fault. If they don't try to find it again, it is their fault.

Rune that is true, scientifically speaking they are finno-ugric people, they are mixed between the mongoloid Mongoloid and Caucasiod racial groups, these ladies look white but in truth that is because of interbreeding with nordic people.

Saami are related to the Algic First Nations of Canada.

Rune yeah you did and thank you for that, I will look into what you have just told me.

Stone Henge

Ma'm, this is about the Tribe Standing Rock Sioux, not Stone Henge.

@@SordidandSalted I know Im just giving u an account of my ancestors all well

They were many European tribes at the time of the Romans in my country there was the Icini, Briganti, Vittadini, they were wiped out by the Roman Empire. One of the famous chefs from the Bargnani was Bodicia the Romans took their tribal lands then all the tribes of Briton tried to drive the Romans out but fail 80,000 Britons were killed.

The Sami are from Siberia

@@joannechisholm4501 The Sami are from Scandinavia, as a mix between the people already living there and "Asians", who brought the knowledge of reindeer herding with them.

@@fredosinsemilla3896 There culture comes came from Siberia where there ancestors come from. Here in the UK will still remember the tribes here were I live there was tribe called the Brigantti. They disappeared long ago after the Roman Empire come to our country. Yes even Europe had tribes one. Hard to believe they were called the Celtic Tribes. We have a temple called Stone Hendge it's over 4,00O years old.

​@Rob Gorman I have no idea where you get your "facts" from even though i have my suspicions, but you are in any case wrong on, if not all, most accounts, which is both amazing and disturbing at the same time. First of all, the origin of the Sami people is believed to be the Ural mountains, as that is the origin of the Finno-Ugric language family. That's more then 2000 miles from Mongolia. The archaeology shows us that the Sámi has lived in northern Scandinavia for several thousand years. Secondly, what historical viking texts are you referring to? The only written material the vikings themselves left behind are the rune stones and they most often were made in remembrance of someone who died. The Sámi are mentioned in several Iclandic and Norwegian sagas from the 13th century however, telling stories from the time of the viking age, for example Ottar's account and Egil Skallagrimsson's saga. Now, the roman historian Tacitus book Germania (98 A.D) mentions a people he calls Fenni believed to be the Sami, and then by Claudius Ptolemy, and then by Prokopios, and then by Paulus Diaconus, and then by Adam of Bremen etc etc. Thirdly, there have been many Sámi artifacts found in viking age graves, in for instance Birka. The Swedish History Museum had an exhibition on the subject not long ago. So there, now you know.

it would be great if you could please pass us your email address could we have your permission to use a few seconds from the video? :) thank you very much indeed!

I can say that people were sprayed with freezing water, shot with non lethals, peppersprayed, and even beat.

A joik or yoik sometimes used words and sometimes doesn’t, but it is repetitive sounds that may contain elements of words or just syllables and vowels. There are no lyrics, it just resonates with a spiritual energy.

I know your heart is in the right place, but it's kinda tactless to bless them with the same God that was used to persecute these people for centuries

anfearspuinse Here are the commandment of GOD we as Christians are to obay EXODUS 20. The Ten Commandments 1.And God spoke all these words: 2 “I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery. 3 “You shall have no other gods before[a]me. 4 “You shall not make for yourself an image in the form of anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters below.5 You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I, theLord your God, am a jealous God,punishing the children for the sin of the parents to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me, 6 but showing love to a thousand generations of those who love me and keep my commandments. 7 “You shall not misuse the name of theLord your God, for the Lord will not hold anyone guiltless who misuses his name. 8 “Remember the Sabbath day by keeping it holy. 9 Six days you shall labor and do all your work,10 but the seventh day is a sabbath to the Lord your God. On it you shall not do any work, neither you, nor your son or daughter, nor your male or female servant, nor your animals, nor any foreigner residing in your towns. 11 For in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, but he rested on the seventh day.Therefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and made it holy. 12 “Honor your father and your mother,so that you may live long in the land the Lord your God is giving you. 13 “You shall not murder. 14 “You shall not commit adultery. 15 “You shall not steal. 16 “You shall not give false testimonyagainst your neighbor. 17 “You shall not covet your neighbor’s house. You shall not covet your neighbor’s wife, or his male or female servant, his ox or donkey, or anything that belongs to your neighbor.”

Did u know that Jesus was from the tribe of Judah one of the 12 tribes of Israel.

And help them to know the true God!

Exactly, everyone is a descentant (of a mixture) of tribal people but unfortunately many tribal and and native traditions have vanished. And also the fact that people have mixed so much (especially) in last few hundred years that not many know their whole heritage anymore. Fortunately there are still so many native and tribal traditions alive that we all have the opportunity to appreciate those regardless of our own heritage.

What they really mean is white as a concept is not a culture by itself, since it was only created to serve a descriptor to separate them from black people. I think it’s great people are starting to reconnect with their roots so that they don’t have to use only physical attributes like white or black to describe themselves :D

BS! As a Norwegian there's no such thing as a native Norse. The vikings doesn't exist anymore. And it wasn't a single people, but a culture. No such things as European tribes, nor natives! Only indigenous people in all of Europe are the Saami! Europeans hasn't been ''tribal'' since the Romans introduced Christianity! Nice try claiming shit that ain't yours to claim! Hands off privileged entitled white man!

They are actually related to Native American peoples, they come from Northern Siberia near Alaska! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jJ6garll1ayynGg.html

The Sami are indigenous to their ancestral areas called Sapmi, not all of scandinavia, northern germanic people and sami both inhabited scandinavia during the same timeframes. Just in diffrent areas.

You do realize that the Sami have seperate groups between culture they are not a single ethnic group. Finnish and Russian Sami have came from the Siberian Sápmi that now runs through Russia, Swedish migrated from Norway and the Norwegian Sami are descendants of the Komsa people who were in Norway in 10000bc. The hell do you get Greek and Italians from?
