One Of The Least Known Ethnic Groups Of Europe. Who Are They?

We also have Sami people in the middle east of Norway(North Hedmark and Trøndelag)) and middle west in Sweden(Härjedalen, Jämtland), who have reindeers. There are several sami languages in Norway and Sweden. The sami in the south of Norway doesn’t speak the same language as those in the north.

[@didntknoicouldchangethis]

That is a great fact to know, and appreciated

[@imse81]

@@didntknoicouldchangethis we also have some other minorities, like the Romani people and the lesser known Kvener, they have also their own languages. Kvener are some times put in the same category as Sami, but they are not Sami. And then we have Finns, a people coming from Finland, through Sweden during 15 and 1600s. They were known for their special way to grow rye, they burned down the forest and sowed rye and got an amazing big harvest. They often lived a a special timbered cottage, with no chimney, the smoke vent out of a hole in the roof, and the fireplace were a big massive stove known as “masseovn” here in Norway. It retains the heat for hours and hours after you have lit up it. They did not speak Finish, they were an own people. Today they have their own flag and are stated to be a minority.

As sami i have to say this video is full of kind of partly inaccurate information and kind of badly done but i dont understand why are you so bothered about the pink haired girl in thumbnail. Honestly most of these people in this video do not look like they have much sami genetics left anyway. We are most very mixed with our white neighbours now in modern time and most of us are more something else than sami truthfully. Full sami would look much more mixed inuit/east asian type like some families still look that did not marry as much from our neighbours. Originally we mostly look similar to mixed race east asian white and mixed race inuit/nativeamerican and white. Our ancestry came from mix of ancient samoyede type people migrating from north asia to northern europe 4000 years ago and mixing with the locals and replacing their culture. Google nganasan and nenets people. They are our close relatives but they did not mix as they staid in asias side so their like us but full asian. We are like them but very mixed now in modern time. Im mix of sami and finnish and look lot like sami,, north asian ish kind of but i have blond hair and colors from non sami side of ancestry. There was no blond sami really 100 years ago many yet.

[@saggguy7]

I’m confused why a Sami with pink hair and septum piercing would be weird? Unless there’s something cultural against it or something that I don’t know about. They live in 2024 with the rest of us. Being of a particular ethnic group doesn’t imply that a person lives exactly like their ancestors did.

Yeah old time full sami like my grand father looked very east asian/inuit native american but now we are all basically half something else from our white neighbours. We are originally from mix of samoyed type people from siberia and europeans when our siberian ancestors migrated to europes side 4000 years ago and mixed with locals.

These all people are connected each to other. Mostly "insiders" can really see that, the people, who belong to these cultures (I am one of them - I belong to one of these ethnic groups). I absolutely can see similarities and commonalities in all three - Sami, Mari and Ob-Ugrians. From clothing to religions. I can give you exact examples, if you want. As for the Samoyeds, they are a different folk. I know many people confuse Nenets with Northern Khanty or something, but really, they have large differences in cultures. It is the Khanty culture that Sami have more similarities to, not Nenets. But of course, one can see commonalities between Sami and Nenets cultures.

[@Viso333]

@@Kolemjen im not confused at all. i think you dont understand what iam saying fully. Both sami and khanty came from ancient samoyed type culture migrating to ural volga region from siberia and mixing with european people met there. Nenets and nganasan are the ones that did not mix and did not get as much influence as they lived deeper in siberia. Both sami and khanty are similar to samoyedic people but mixed. Mari have really nothing from the ancient samoyed type ancestry left culturally. There was baltoslavics in Estonia and iranic people in south of volga and ural. Majority of finnougrians are really culturally almost fully iranian pagan or baltoslavs. Identical literally from culture, living, clothing, etc. Expect sami, khanty and mansi people who lived in more remote northern areas and did not get fully assimilated to those southern neighbours so the siberian did not disappear from us. Mari culture and all FU living volga area are mostly iranian pagan by culture with only little paleo european and siberian inlfluence. Sami culture is mostly siberian and paleo european mix with influence from southern neighboring people germanic, balts, iranic. Yes there is some similarities with Sami and Mari but its very oppositio cultures and actually big difference. I know its now in modern time harder to see difference, because we sami are now in modern time very mixed with finns, russians, norwegians, swedes. Nenets and nganasan are full siberian. Sami, khanty and mansi people are mixed siberian euro "half blood". Rest of the finnougric are quarter or less and culturally basically fully balt/volgan iranian that just kept talkin the siberian language because it was the male lineages language in patriark society leed by men. Half siberian male lineage but mostly white female lineage. But yeah culturally theres really nothing from the original uralic speaking ancestors in finns, karelians, Mari, Komi, udmurt etc. Uralic speakers were full asian from siberia. The iranians living in south of volga got swiped off later by huns, mongols and slavic colonisation. Im finn and sami mix and have to say modern Sami culture and appearance is very very europeanised. Old time sami looked very north asian and there was no these blond white sami 100 years ago many. We are very mixed now and only some families look ethnic sami.

@@Viso333 I see now where your opinions come from, your angle. But I must disagree with you! Because I can see that you aren't correct (no offence intended). I am a member of one of Ob-Ugric peoples, I have met Mari people plenty times and I have pretty good idea about them. I myself (my facial features) look like a member of my ethnic group. Yet I look not much different from Maris. I also sometimes wear my own traditional clothing. Mari people have been coming to me and touched my jewellery, and said "it looks just like our Monisto!" If I was wearing one of those Khanty or Mansi shirts with wool embroidery, I'd be the star, the center of attention for Maris! As it is something in Mari culture as well and even considered sacred. Mari people have been coming to me to speak, invited me to their events etc. I am even in their own chat group by their own invintation! Mari people have attended also Ob-Ugric religion prayer ritual, where I also attended, and they said then that so many things are similar. We can basically go to worship together! So you are really wrong about Mari people. They have a lot of similarities to us, Ob-Ugrians. And I can also see similarities between Maris and Sámi. There are so many stereotypes about our erhnic groups, which form a lot of misleading information. As for Samoyedic culture - it is different in so many ways from Ob-Ugric one, even conflicting. I don't see how they would be our "forefathers?" Sure, we did mix with them (one of my ancestors down the line was in fact Nenets), but this ancestor was forced to adapt to our culture. There are some fundamental differences between Ob-Ugrian and Samoyedic cultures that outsiders aren't aware about.

How exactly Sami are Indigenous to Scandinavia? They are literally Asians. Fins, Estons, Magyars and Samis are all originating from Asia. Infact they are all relatives.

[@yeshiyangzom8532]

They arrived Scandia much earlier than Northern Germanic tribes.

[@Bubajumba]

@@yeshiyangzom8532 No they did not, the indo europeans was in scandinavia 2000 years before the sami. Indo-European language came to Scandinavia about 5,000 years ago. The first Sámi group came to the area at least 3500-3600 years ago. Finns have lived in Scandinavia 2,800 years ago. It must be added that there were several separate groups for both Finns and Sámi. Sámi and the Finns are also two completely different groups.

It is actually contested, as both groups arrived in Scandinavia from Asia before written history, but from different directions. Both groups are native, as opposed to romani and judaics.

Of course Sami people have usually purple, pink or blue Hair, Piercings and Tattoos all over their body, mostly written lines like "YOLO" or "believe in yourself". They are usually gender-fluid and their people are known for fighting patriarchy. Video fails to adress all that sadly since it seems to be part of the patriarchy.

I have a silly question, are they Asiatic like native americans, or of european extraction? Or Eurasian?

[@Viso333]

4000 years ago ancient samoyed type culture from siberia north asia migrated to europes side and mixed with locals. This mix created early sami type culture. That is our origin story shortly. But most sami you see nowadays do not look like old time sami because we are all now mixed with our white neighbours very much. Google Nganasan and Nenets people. Our close relatives that staid in asia side and did not mix with europeans. Nganasan are full 100% asian.

You are spreading misinformation and unscientific bs. The Sami aren’t indigenous in Scandinavia. There were South Scandinavians living in these areas for thousands of years before Sami lived there. No Sami artifacts in northern Scandinavia until mid Bronze Age. The oldest South Scandinavian artifacts are from Mesolithic Stone Age.
