    I am Sami from Northern Norway. There is little doubt that we belong to the same people as those in the film. I could recognize both appearance, costume traditions, way of life and customs from where I come from. My family is Sea Sami, but we have contact with reindeer herding Sami. It is a shame that there is so little contact across national borders between Sami in the various countries, but I know that work is being done to establish contacts and maintain contact across the borders.
    In the Nordic countries, the Sami communities are flourishing, and there are several Sami musicians who are well regarded in our countries. I recommend everyone to check out Mari Boine (Norway) and Jon Henrik Fjällgren (Sweden). Ella Marie Hætta Isaksen (Norway) and Sofia Jannok (Sweden) are also skilled performers of the Sami song tradition joik/yoik.

      I went on a camping trip to Northern Norway and at one campsite, a lovely man and his wife shared dried reindeer and krekling liquor with me. The further north I went, the friendlier the people, I noticed. Years later, we found out my son's great grandmother was Sami from the Finland/Norway boarder. The family had no idea because it was from a generation when 'these things weren't talked about'. We just happened to run into a very elderly neighbour from where she grew up and they told us.

    Its important to point out White Northern European & Scandinavian people are Indigenous to their lands just as much as a Native American is Indigenous to America. There is an agenda to label us all colonizers as if we steal everyone's lands.
    Nonetheless racist talk like that is why there is so much hate in the world.
    My ancestoral heritage is Scandinavian & Germanic. My ancestors migrated to the US in the 1820s & 1860s. But both my mothers families & my fathers kept oral records of the place we cams from. I often want to move to my ancestoral homeland from the US.

    To all those who claim Sámi isn’t indigenous:
    The Proto Finns, the ancestors of modern day Finns, Estonians and Sámi migrated from Siberia Asia during the Last Ice Age, same time the ancestors of all 1st nation/indigenous Americans migrated to America from the very same place, as they are related. The reason why the Sámi is indigenous:
    - they intermixed with the 1st Europeans who where black with blue eyes, originating in the Middle East, the cradle of all white people, whilst their Finnish kin who stayed behind in Finland intermixed with various other people groups who came later resulting in modern day Finnish and Estonian people.
    - the Sámi culture and languages already existed long before any modern Scandinavian nation, boundaries and languages was created!
    We all came from somewhere. In regard to being indigenous it’s related to colonization. The Sámi was colonzied by the modern day state of Norway, Sweden, Finland and Russia. All the others are late comers who mixed with people who came later into the area from the Middle East, and Central Asia: Anatolian farmers (Turkey), Yamnaya (Ukraine), Germanic famers aka Vikings.
    Modern day Scandinavians and Europeans can’t be indigenous, and I say that as a Norwegian indigenous person!
    I see this propaganda and false narrative rooted in racist ideology all the time. People with a settler, imperialist, racist and colonial mentality try and spread this BS to justify colonialism, and erase indigenous ties to their lands.
    Please get educated on human history and evolution as well as Scandinavian history before spewing hateful nonsense! CRINGE!
    And at the end of the day, doesn’t matter as science aka facts backs this up regardless. Genetic/DNA, linguistic and archaeological evidence!

    There is so much disinformation here. The Sami people are not indigenous to Scandinavia nor Europe. They also don't have any connection to the indigenous people in Siberia, which some people have gotten into their heads because they both have reindeers. The Sami people came to Scandinavia from the Kola Peninsula in Russia about 2000-2500 years ago, people had been living in Scandinavia for over 10 000 years by then. They were nomads, hunters, and did not have any reindeer from the beginning, as opposed to the indigenous of Siberia who lived with reindeer for thousands of years. In Sweden agriculture was established 6000 years ago, and when the Sami people wandered in there about 4000 years later and saw that people can own animals, they decided to take Sweden's wild reindeer and make them Sami property. Unfortunetaly they killed off whatever remained of the reindeer they couldn't catch, so they actually kidnapped a whole species and claimed them as their property. To this day there are no wild reindeer in Sweden because the Sami people claim to own them all. A few wild reindeer still exist in Norway. The Sami people also exterminate all predators in more than half of Sweden, because they want "their" reindeer to be safe without having to guard them. This is the sad truth about the Sami people and "their" reindeer.
    But one should also know that it's only a handful of Sami people involved in the reindeer business, most Sami people live like everyone else in Scandinavia - and most of them also think it's embarrassing how some Sami people try to play the role as indigenous and demand rights they are actually not entitled to.
    For those who are interested in facts I recommend reading Karin Boje's scientific books about Sweden's and Europe's history, they used the newest and most advanced science techniques and DNA testing for that research. She's won many prizes for her research. You can learn a lot from her.

      @@elwolf8536 I’ve learned over the years that the official academic information on any ethnic group, or culture is not automatically 100% accurate, and especially when it comes to academic teachings on the status of indigenous people. A great example would be the very recent change that was made to the official information on the indigenous people of Japan who are now listed as “Ainu People” who happen to be a separate district group that’s different from the modern day majority of Asians in Japan. The Ainu have been officially recognized as indigenous of Japan since 2008! Prior to this change anyone talking about Ainu being indigenous of Japan was labeled a conspiracy nut, even though people who share the information on Ainu being indigenous of Japan didn’t just make empty claims but backed their claims up with facts and evidence. Still even with facts and evidence that directly contradicts the official information, The public to refused to listen to any of it, because this information was not yet recognized by the official academic sources of information. Of course anything outside of official academic sources of information is automatically conspiracy, or invalid information for most people, simply because it does not have the stamp of approval of being official academic information. So this is why I say simply because official sources claim that no European ethnic groups other than Sami are indigenous to their lands, it doesn’t automatically make it true in my eyes. I mean if we are going to get technical, then there are some ethnic European family lines who live in North America, and their lineage, their ancestry in North America is almost as old is not exactly same age as the Maori of New Zealand, and we all know that the Maori are considered natives of New Zealand. The whole New Zealand connection is its own separate story, because even in New Zealand the Maori themselves claim that they are not natives of New Zealand, because when their ancestors have arrived to New Zealand for the first time, according to Maori themselves New Zealand was already populated by some kind of mysterious population that was written out of history who supposedly have fair skin and red hair. This isn’t coming from me this is coming from the Maori people themselves and you can find this in various documentaries and articles online. I look at my own ancestors Russians who are of course Slavic people, they are part of the Slavic family tree, and the whole Slavic family tree is part of an even bigger Indo-European family tree, but I know that some Slavic people lived on their land for of at least couple thousand years. Who is to say that they are not native of their own land? The whole official listing of who is native/indigenous and who is not is so suspicious to me, and it’s pretty clear to me that whoever made this list intentionally left out ethnic Europeans and only included one single group that there’s no way you can deny Sami being indigenous because they still live like indigenous peoples till this day. So those who are in charge of making this official list of indigenous people on earth had no choice but to include Sami in it.

"Seyd" in the translation from the Sami language means "sacred".

      Heya this subject is one of the many things i find very interesting and the connection has been documented already, through genetics, culture, oral history and language. They are not connected directly, as in they came or went to what is now America themselves but they are decendents from the same "group" that lived spread around Siberia. It seems some of that "group" went east and others went west. I say group with "" as this was a process that took many many generations, cultures and what not, and we are not really sure if those people would have seen themselves as being from the same group. Having similar roots left quite a number of similairities and the communities in the modern day have re-established contacts, as they share fates and future threats.

      ​@@rubenskiiithe begining of this video told you where Sami culture came from. And they certainly aren't in the same "group" as native Americans. Cultural similarities exist all over the world, some with no connection or relation use the same tools and technology as people on the other side of the world. Bows for example use the same general design everywhere and yet many cultures that used the bow had no connection with other bow using cultures. Trying so desperately to make all people the same is more harmful to small cultures like this, than helpful.

    • @rubenskiii

      @@grizzlyblackpowder1960 genetics certainly showed a connection, as they have ancestors from Siberia deep in time. The people that lived there, which i explicitly called "group" because there is a clear genetic connection. Those ancestors moved around, a lot. This is probably linked with dog domestication as that increased the mobility greatly. From Siberia some of that "group" went west, most of them there being replaced/displaced/absoberbed by or into other "groups" later on, Sami are one of the last of that "original group" in the west. Others went eastward from Siberia, crossing into America. How exactly is unknown but they did. As i stated this took an immense amount of time with multiple cultures, and as i stated it is hard to say if they would even see themselves as part of this one "group". But saying they are not connected is even more harmful as it diminishes the deep links people have. And as for the Sami and Native Americans today: they certainly see the connection, and have been creating bonds and ties, having meetings and visits, supporting eachother. For example there was a group of Sami that went to standing Rock to help.

      @@grizzlyblackpowder1960 as for bows: that technology is old, very old. So old we don't exactly know how old. But there does seem to be a link through people moving around, and trading. Many cultures that use a bow are based on previous cultures that already used the bow. For Africa, Europe and Asia there is a clear connection. One very interesting outlier is Australia, as there the spear thrower was never replaced by the bow. One of the first evidence for bows we have in America for example is arrowheads, and these early stone arrowheads show striking similarities to arrowheads made in eastern Asia at the time. People where way more connected back then already than we give them credit for. Even in Australia, where they didn't use bow and arrow technology they had trading partners that did. It seemed in Australia they chose not to use it, because they did adopt many other technological advances in for example canoe building and stone tool making. Even Captain Cook remarked on that.

U5 is found in about 12-15% of all maternal haplogroups of Europe and arose among Western Hunter -Gatherers of Ice-Age Europe. Milennia ago, the people in Northern Iberia refuge moved out of here (or stayed such as my case) and recolonized Europe (some of this people are the Sami) which have very high U5 maternal haplogroups (Scandinavia and Northern Iberia have high U5).

    What a WONDERFUL life!! I have long wanted to visit Sápmi, and hope to visit one day. The examples they set for living in harmony with the natural world are inspiring, and next year, I'm going to build a "stand" like I saw in this video for drying my firewood. I have learned how to live off-grid, and even though we are in very different regions of the world, so many great lessons can be learned about correct living from the Sámi!!!
    One thing about this video that I found less appealing is the usage of the words "Lap" and "Lapland" in place of Sámi or Sápmi. The word "Lap" is a derogatory racial slur, much like calling a person of African decent the "N-word". It comes from the colonizers who ridiculed the "rags" (laps) that the Sámi wore/wear, their traditional dress. To use this term is outdated and unfortunate. I hope to see future videos where the respectful titles of Sámi and Sápmi permanently become the modern terms, to help break down the unkindness and disrespect that the old terms bred.
