I mean, it technically is? Sámi are indigenous.

@@EisfeuerArts ah, of course! Thank you. I neglected to say Indigenous of present-day USA.

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?

I wish I had been there too....

@Eric St-laurent , Sofía Janok en plus, elle est très battante. Elle est toujours dans les activités pour revendiquer la langue et les terres qui leur ont été volées. J'aime vraiment son style. Amitiés de l'Espagne ❤️

It is Sofia Jannok

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

We one of the the ancestors of sammis and siberian tribes so us native American really need to help them out as well whenever we get the chance in the near future help the Altai and Sapmi people we are the ancestors

100 million native Americans? Ugh no not at all lol

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!

I am here because of the Giant Sequoia Trees, and yes my heart will always be there and close to Mother Earth.

Their white but I believe were originally Siberian because they emigrated from the same place native American did that's why their culture is similar. Some of them have a watered down Asiatic look you'll sometimes see a similar look to mixed natives born on reserves.

You don’t have to be “white” aka European to have pale skin! According to your logic I should be black, but I’m not black nor African!

Eva Schroeder Similar doesn’t mean the same.

@@kilipaki87oritahiti no it doesn't but there's probably a dna connection just saying.

No shit, they’re Sámi people, indigenous Europeans from the Nordic countries. Not every indigenous person has a “specific” look, as there are indigenous people from around the world. Stop being ignorant.

You should seriously read up on the history of the Sami people. We are a nomadic people who have lived in Northern Europe for thousands of years, before germanic people came to the lands. In modern time the Sami people were literally forcefully sterilised, had to marry Swedes, Finns, Russians and Norwegians TO SURVIVE!! We were forced to abandon our language that is going extinct. I can also promise you that you have never been to Sapmi or Finnmark, and thus you have no idea what we actually look like. We are incredibly diverse, some having blond hair and some having black. Just because some are more stereotypically European looking doesn’t mean we aren’t indigenous. Indigenous literally just means “native to a land”. It has nothing to do with race or color. You fucking racist

Also here is a list of a few Sami people that aren’t just «regular» blonde whites. Ranja elisabeth berg, Lars Filip Paulsen, Anette Iren Langås Larsen, Lene Cecilia Sparrok (you can easily find more by looking up Sami politicians, Sami people, Sami actors etc etc on google) Maybe you should visit Sapmi/Finnmark and look for yourself before you write such shit.

@Amalie Olsdatter we are the first people in as far south as Trøndelag😂😂 Det e ingen folk i nordnorge som har norske forfedre som har levd her før 12-14-tallet. Men så har vi dem med samiske foredra og kultur som har hørt til her i tusenvis av år.

@@Asdfghjkl-us5jr Sami people aren’t any more native to fennoscandinavia than Norwegians, Finns or Swedes. 3000 years ago, people started to migrate from Northern Siberia westwards to present-day Finland. To begin with, every one of these people communicated in the same ancient language. Eventually the language began to split into different dialects and then into different languages. Finnish linguists have concluded that the Sami languages originated about 2000 years ago. These people mixed with the stone-age women that already lived in fennoscandinavia. Some of them would eventually turn into Sami people. While others were absorbed into the already existing population. This is also one of the reasons we don’t have any Sami DNA, because many Finnish, Norwegian and Swedish people are also mixed with the Siberian migration that happened thousands of years ago.

@Amalie Olsdatter ja, jeg leste det for noen dager siden. Det var veldig interresant.

Probably because Finnish people aren't Sami.

Gulahallat Eatnamiin: We Speak Earth, those are the only words I think

Precicely it means "to have a discussion with the Earth"

The words is: speaking with earth

All people of Europe are indigenous.

Sweden, Norway, Finnish, and Russian governments, back off, hands off the Sami people. Do not destroy what you did not create. Do not encroach upon their territory and their society, Do not destroy their environment....Leave this beautiful people in peace...

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

@@wilka171 thank you Wilka. Best wishes.

Learn the culture. Honour it💚

I'm apache and learn your roots brother it's not always about the percentage it's about the heart 🔥💯👩🏾♥️ much love from a full blood 100% apache kickapoo native American

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!

Not me, I am NATIVE NORSE

its not words, just sounds

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.

@@childchild266 thank you

@@azureflametarot thank you

Aho!

@@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

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.

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.
