I think that the Sami culture didn't come to light because there is no reconciliation between life and death in the church. When your soul is gone, so too, are you. But Saami people have a street smart view of things, and the culture deals heavily in paganism and witchcraft in a modern sense. In a saami sense it's all a science. You never die. Because the soul is infinite, you merely change form or the parts which used to comprise your soul move on to become a part of another thing. And as you liberate your soul, and change your physical form to represent that, you begin to be seen as a physical god in that culture. But it's more like nirvana In Buddhism. You are liberated from your form, and can achieve what you want... and Deer, they do this naturally in that part of the world, and that's how you learn this technique. And so the Deer are gods, and so are others, but they are things we can see and hear and touch. And some people, they become less human that way, and moat cultures see that as demonic, but not the Saami. If you can change your form, you are like an angel.
Thank you so much for the clarity. That was so beautiful. The Sami people's spiritual belief system aligns with mine as I have evolved over the years. Thank you for telling about the reindeer being god's, opened my eyes to a deeper understanding of symbolism. 🤯❤
@@eastindiaV yes you are right. I feel thought that most modern sami who are spiritual/religious believe now in mix of sami religion soul cycle, higher realm and christianity god and angels. It just makes more sense to me than being fully christian or fully old sami religion.
Here in Finland we get news in sami language on TV. I - as a Finn - understand one word here and there. And in comparison, I can understand Estonian language better, basically I can follow well, but miss details. And Karelian language I can understand almost 100% (I actually speak South Karelian Finnish dialect at home).
We got "same-news" here in Sweden too, and also in Norway iirc. Loanwords are easy to recognize, and there are lots of them. But their old words are totally different from my language, of course.
You know if N1c1 haplogroup was inserted into the germanic people of Finland by force? Was it there always from N1c1 eskimo tribes or did Russians bring it into germanic lands? In Germanistan they are just now finishing the germanics off with their usual neanderthal bestiality interbreeding genetic swamping deleterious hybridization it is real genocide :// If you Finns just would still be Germanoids you would immediately start some sort of war against Germany and safe at least some of us …
It's truly a shame that some of my countrymen still think sharing this country with the Sami is a burden rather than an honor. Sure, we haven't treated them as cruelly as Russia or United States did their indegenous populations, but that's a very low bar. And even then, we can't really say we treated the sami 100% fairly or justly.
Russia is literally known as a country who tended to treat their native people exceptionally well, tf u on abt? Still, considering what the fools in the Sami parliament are doing rn (in Norway) there’s no wonder people dislike them. Can’t wait for those fools to be voted out.
Im sami. Half of our ancestry is from siberia from same people nenets and other samoyedic and khanty/mansi people came from. This fact was used against us in very racist snd hateful way for long so lots of older sami deny it and even teach their kids to say that we are not asian.. But yeah truth is we were very north asian back in older times and still many of us look lot asian or native american. Now we are all mixed with swedes, norwegians, finns, karelians, russians though, so our original north asian blood and look is fading away. Sami "race" was born from mix of north asian and northern paleo european when north asian people started to migrate to north europe side over ural 4000 years ago. Sami culture replaced the original northern european cultures as they all eventually mixed to us coming from east and to swedes/norwegians coming from south. What is not talked about is that finnic people like finns, estonians, karelians, maris, komis came from some of the early sami leaving the sami culture and mixing and assimilating to indoeuropean farmers and iranians in volga river area. So finnics really talk language from early sami but live culture of indoeuropeans and iranians. Its still taboo to talk about for some reason even though its very obvious😂
Hi, our Sámi relative! I am Khanty/Mansi. There are many myths and misconceptions about our peoples. Let's start with one - Khanty/Mansi are "Asians", "Siberians" etc. Well, actually, we are only partially such. We are also partially Europeans or "white", but Indo-Europeans or other contemporary European peoples have nothing to do with it! Genetic studies have shown that our European "admixture" is very old, coming from times, when agriculture or IE languages weren't spread to Northern Europe. So our European blood is pretty unique for modern world. I believe that also at least part of Sámi European ancestry is very ancient, and you don't "own" it to Scandinavians, Slavs or whatever. Sámi inherently are "partially white plus partially North Asian" peoples just like ours are. And just like many Finno-Ugric peoples, actually. We have mixed origins probably already for thousands and thousands of years. We all have peoples having phenotypes ranging from blonde to black haired.
Thank you for your comment. I am Sámi, and have spent a lot of time trying to understand the origins of the Sámi people, and analyzing what I have found. I firmly believe that the Sami carry most of their European heritage from the people who lived in the country before the Indo-Europeans arrived. Sami and Norwegians have more than 90% common gene mass. The legacy of those who lived in the country is more visible in the Sami language than the Norwegian language, as a large proportion of the Sami language is of unknown origin. Linguists believe these are remnants of languages spoken in the Paleo-European area. There are also remnants of this/these language(s) in Norwegian. Although Norwegians and Sami have had different languages and religions, there have been common markers in lifestyle, clothing traditions and even parts of the religions. It is possible to distinguish typical Swedes, Danes and Norwegians by appearance. Since the ice retreated along the coast first I assume that Norwegians carry more of this specific "old" people in them than our neighbors, with the exception of the Sami, who I actually think carry more of this old people in them than the Norwegians. Let me point out that it is something I believe, not something I know. Call it an educated guess. When other Sámi say that I am trying to erase our Asian heritage, they are wrong. I fully accept that we have some Asian genes. On the other hand, I try to highlight the heritage of the Paleo-European people. The Stone Age people who walked up after the ice. I suspect that many Sámi are more concerned with the Asian heritage because it is what separates them from the Norwegians. Everyone likes to be special in the strange times we live in. I believe that we should love what unites us, and not what divides us.
@@iwanterniwsky9441 finland was known as something like "chama" etc by some other neighboring people, meaning "the land" and sami lived in finland area so sami became called sami. Finn also originally meaned sami people and sami lived in finland before finns. Finns became called finns later when they spreaded to finland from estonia replacing the sami population.
My wife's parents are Sami. My father in law looked like if he were dropped into the middle of Mongolia, the Mongolians would not think of him terribly out of place. One video I watched about Sami, spoke of three different Sami groups. So in most of the videos I have watched they say the origin of the Sami was the Ural mountain area. Most of the videos I have watched don't mention a Northern China/Mongolian connection. But even in this video you can see that connection in some of the faces. If someone can help me understand this better, feel free to contact me.
Nie mają nic wspólnego z Mongołami tylko z Ugrofinamii...może tylko tyle że są zazjatyzowani trochę ich rasą ale nie wywodzącą się od Mongołów czy Chińczyków tylko od paleoazjatyckich ludów Syberii typu Niwkowie itp. ale ogólnie to biali ludzie przystosowani do życia na dalekiej północy.
i cant really come up with any sane sounding explanation myself, im sami but look like the most typical north european with green eyes, blonde hair etc. while lots in my family look much more "asian"... i guess it really just depends on the area, and in general we are all mixed throughout the years, especially with paleo-europeans who were the original settlers of these lands, with norwegians having been a good bunch of people for most of the time too
the sami looked more mongolian in the past, today they often look identical to the avg scandinavian, tho they often are a bit stockier, maybe shorter and tall cheekbones. the skolt sami tho havent changed as much as far as im aware so perhaps thats something, but as far as im aware there are no sami who still looks like that
They live modern lifes now, with cars, Internet and all. Their religion died already hundreds of years ago when most Sami became/forced to became Christians. Most of them have ordinary jobs. Those who still have rendeer use mobile phones and usually live in modern houses parts of the year. They actually don´t live so close to nature anymore and their huge rendeerherds can damage a lot of nature. Besides they are allowed to hunt rare wild animals (wolves, wolverines, lynxes etc.) that are a threat to their rendeer which is not very nature-minded I think. But still an interesting film.
I know that I am part Sami. My great great grandmother and my fathers side was sami, but we don't know what town she was born in. After she married my great great grandfather, who was swedish, they moved to Jamtland in sweden. But my great grandparents are the ones who emigrated to America. I even had when I was in the University in the US. In a club I was part of, there was a student from finland. She and her friends from Finland asked me directly if I was, but used the word Laplander. I was surprised that they noticed, but since they were from finland, they know the physical traits. I am not sure what percentage I am, but I know that I am part Sami.
At 0.44 there is a mistake. The sami are not the only population of non indoeuropean origin. Finnish, Basque and Hungarian all are nations within the EU but their languages are of non indoeuropean origin.
Every one forget them , if sami are there from 4000 years Basques and iberians are in Iberia for far more , but still forbade to be called natives or indigenous but wo cares
They're certainly not "the indigenous people of Sweden". They have had a proven presence for 2.500 years, it's unknown when they actually permanently settled there since they were nomadic.
Interesting that they share any qualities of language with the Maori people of New Zealand. What people group lived in New Zealand before the Māori ? Bc they pushed out another group when they arrived there.
My biggest question involving the indigenous people. We all are originating from a location. All people were involved in some kind of racism, slavery, lands being stolen. So why aren’t everybody being treated as indigenous because we all are if you really think about it
Evidence suggests that the Indo European population first arrived in these areas sometime between 10,000 BC and 5000 BC. They first settled on the flat expanses of Denmark and in the south of Sweden. Other parts of Europe were already populated at this time. The first-known Scandinavian was the Koelbjerg Man, dated to around 8,000 BC. His body was recovered from a bog in Koelbjerg, Denmark, just outside of Odense.
@@Worldsbestcupofcoffee Nonsense. It is 2000-3000 years at most that the Sami have been within Sweden's current borders, they settled in larger numbers even later than that.
@@Cobbido my bad, I clipped some of my original post. I meant Indo European people were here at that time, not the Sami people. You’re right. Sorry for the miscommunication.
(copied from a comment above) Indigenous is a specific term relating to a relationship to the land, natural resources, and continuity of culture and way of life (key) from pre-colonial times, not about whether a people group still inhabits the area that their ancestors originally came from. An ethnic group which is the dominant one in a modern nation-state, and which has largely abandoned its traditional practices and way of life, and whose relationship to the land and natural resources is one of capitalistic extraction and exploitation, is not indigenous.
Cool.But they are actually relative new comers in comparison to the Basque and their Indo European neighbors, the Scandinavians. Once again, trying to strip other Europeans from rights to THEIR homelands by allowing one small group to be called "indigenous."

Not at all. They are a mix of arctic and south European DNA (from Siberian peninsula) and a much younger group in Scandinavia than the Swedes etc., by many thousands of years.
@@julioalbertoherrera1339 Fact: their ancestors arrived in Scandinavia several thousands of years later than the ancestors of the Swedes, Danes and Norwegians.
The misinformed part is that they were first. They have indeed been here for a long time but in no way we’re they first. Actually they came many thousands years after the first migrants. These things aren’t even up for debate, but for various reasons some people try nursing the idea that they were first in the land like the native Americans or something.
I'm hopefully not the only one to see the problem with giving specific groups of people the title of ''indigenous.'' I have nothing against the Sámi, nor do i believe the suppression/oppression of their culture is in any way warranted. But the title of ''indigenous'' makes it seem as if they have a greater claim on Fennoscandia than anyone else despite them actually having arrived after some ancestors of modern scandinavians. Also just want to mention that the definition of Indigenous given in the video is wrong. this is the ''real'' one: Indigenous communities, peoples and nations are those which, having a historical continuity with pre-invasion and pre-colonial societies that developed on their territories, consider themselves distinct from other sectors of the societies now prevailing on those territories, or parts of them.'' Which kinda sets indo-european descended people up to look like invaders and colonisers.
Sámi people ARE indigenous to NORTHERN fennoscandia. Arrived there much before the finns, russians and scandinavians. They colonized sápmi (northern scandinavia). The Sámi do not lay claim to all of fennoscandia, the finns, scandinavians and russians have claimed it. Therefore, making sámi people indigenous.
@@themarxologist not true the ancestors of Scandinavians arrived 12.000 years ago sami arrived 2000 years ago in Noway and Sweden, 3500 years ago in Finland, what you mean is that the Norweigians and Swedes didn't always live in all of what is today their country and the Sami are included in their countries, the label indigenous does not mean Native or came their first it's a legal term to protect language and culture, I do support Sami and other peoples right to have their culture, language and live as they like, I do not support changing history
@@themarxologist Among the ancestors of modern Nordic Scandinavians, actually arrived over 10,000 years ago FROM THE NORTH. That doesn't mean they didn't also, before that, come form somewhere further east but the Nordics were first, even in the North.

i hear there's been a big media push to shame/guilt scandis that they robbed samis of their land and culture: even though sami-land remain less than 1 person per 1km^2 and lots of samis just drifted toward scandi settlements because powered houses and market food is an easier life than normadic tents and igloos in arctic winter. You feel bad for developing modern society then welcoming people who want to join? Sami have still got their prehistoric genes, look at that Norweigan Manchester City player: shows that 35,000BC genes are still relevant today.
@JohnDove-d8d lapp is a racist word being used against us. We prefer sami, and sapmi instead of lappland. Thats the true non racist names. I have no idea why the official name still is lappland, its very bad.

Because we're not... indigenous?? Look I can only speak for the Finns but, 1. Finnish is not indigenous because we don't practice the long gone religions and beliefs of our ancestors, we're mostly one of the major religions or just atheists. 2. Finnish people are the word to describe a country's population, not a select group of people. 3. Unlike the samí we are not a minority or oppressed. 4. We can be any race or ethnicity, the Samí can obviously be mixed but they are still always in some parts Samí.
@@michael-helen " we don't practice the long gone religions and beliefs of our ancestors" That has absolutely nothing to do with the definition of indigenous.

@user-jf8oz2vh8d Again, it's not about how long someone has been in a place it is about their relationship to the land and their traditional practices, as well as their relationship to the modern nation state they live in. That is what the word indigenous means, and it's how scholars of indigenous studies use it. Indigeneity is a specific sociological concept with a specific meaning.
@ That is how sociologists and indigenous studies academics (and the UN) all use the term. Its colloquial and academic meanings are separate. When we say that the Sámi are an indigenous people group, it is referring to the sociological meaning, their relationship fo the land, their traditions, and the state. A word can mean different things in different contexts, and in this context it means what I said
Clarification. The Sami ARE NOT the indigenous people to Scandinavia. Their ancestors arrived long after the ancestors of Nordic Scandinavians. They certainly had more of a presence in northern Scandinavia before most Nordic Scandinavians, but the actual indigenous people of Scandinavia as a whole, are the ancestors of Nordic Scandinavians. For some reason, people just assume that primitive people are always assumed to be the "indigenous" of where ever they live, which is not true.

There's a number of definitions of "indigenous". None of them preclude the existence of other peoples before them, which is the criterion you seem to go by. By pretty much any mainstream definition of indigenous, the Sami people are actually indigenous.
@@wesselbindt Perhaps some definitions. Not by pretty much any mainstream definition. Do you go to videos featuring native Americans and leave similar comments? My family has been in north America for 2 centuries and I’m still made to feel like a colonizer or invader. Originating, growing, or produced in a certain place or region. synonym: native. Similar: native Being a member of the original inhabitants of a particular place. Of, belonging to, or characteristic of such inhabitants. produced, growing, living, or occurring natively or naturally in a particular region or environment indigenous plants b Indigenous or less commonly indigenous : of, relating to, or descended from the earliest known inhabitants of a place and especially of a place that was colonized
@@wesselbindt If the definition of indigenous is, the first group to occupy a particular area, then the ancestors of the non Sami Scandinavians are the indigenous people of Scandinavia and the Sami are not but are later "interlopers." If the definition means just any group who have lived in an particular area for a long time, then the ancestors of the non Sami Scandinavians are the first group of indigenous people and the Sami are a later group of "indigenous" people. The point is, the Sami are ALWAYS referred to as the indigenous people of Scandinavia and the native Scandinavians are never referred to as such and virtually all people who hear that claim ALWAYS assume that it means that the Sami were the first and only indigenous and the Scandinavians are the later "colonizers." Most everyone's definition of indigenous means "the first."
@@wesselbindtI agree. As a Hispanic and indigenous American it can mean people who live naturally. Live off the land and having a relationship with earth and nature. Not necessarily meaning boxing anyone in as the first arrivals. Though, here in the US that was the case, you are are correct when it comes to the term having multiple meanings. Here they mean they live as naturally and primitive as possible still. I got to visit one of their reindeer farms and it was a beautiful experience. I got to exchange stories with the Sami people and receive some beautiful hand made items, food, and even a bit reindeer pelt. They’re truly a beautiful group of people.
they actually arrived in northern norway around the same time (if not before) the norwegians arrived to southern norway. The thing is that the sámi stayed in northern norway, while the norwegians started moving north and colonized them. Making sámi people the first people of NORTHERN norway, and since the norwegians colonized the north (and the sámi) and not the other way around. The Sámi people are indigenous

Indigenous is inhabiting a place or area for hundreds and hundreds of years; the average European is mixed nationality, always having something else than their main one contributing.

The Sami people and other indigenous groups of people have occupied one area for a long time and have their own unique culture.

Eastern Siberia, Mongolia and North China. Other theories say there maybe other colonization waves from Indonesia, Polynesia and the oldest wave came from Australia.
Mongolian and Mongolia did not exist 20,000 years, so no native Americans are not related to Mongolians only Paleo Siberians have genetic connections to native Americans.
Native Americans are actually closely related to Northern Europeans like Scandinavians as we share the same ancestor the eastern hunter gathers , Native Indians however mixed with people further east befor migrating to America, Scandinavians mixed with farmers another people who came from the area of Ukraine
@@julioalbertoherrera1339 Ahh the Australian aboriginal theory has been debunked as well as the Polynesia theory. The accepted theory is the Ancestors of Native Americans/ Amerindians arrived via land bridge 20,000-17,000 years ago which is more plausible and an accurate theory since many old world animals such as horse and camels also crossed the land bridge from America to Asia and some old world mammals crossed over from Asia to the Americas. One thing wrong with the Polynesia theory,no actual anthropologist date the habitations of the Polynesia islands until 5000-6,000 years mainly by Austronesian seafarer's. Okay so the Americas were already inhabited before 6,000-5,000 years so before the Polynesia were inhabited by Austronesian / Polynesians, the Ancestors of native Americans/ Amerindian were already spread out across the Americas from Chile to Alaska. And 2 luiza women remains found in Brazil was inaccurately labeled australoid this is where the racist Australian theory comes from, trying to erase native American history and presence,update in genetics shows luiza women is the Ancestors of Amerindian and has haplogroups associated with the Americas and native Americans and no relation to Australia. One the first Americans were always in the Americas as always I mean since 20,000 years. The Americas were settled in 3 waves by the first American -Siberian population/ Paleo indian and evolved after thousands of years of separation into native Americans/ Amerindians.
It isnt true thatt here was basicly no contact before modern times! The vikings and sami traded, and the vikings occationally married sami women and hired sami "shamans" to help with diffrent spiritual quests. Both mythologies have influenced eachother.

So did literally every indigenous people in the world. People weren't even living in the Americas until between 10,000 - 20,000 years ago. You have no idea what indigenous means.
@@rheiagreenland4714Indigeneity is a useless concept that’s only deployed to deny the existence of European ethnic groups. Let’s be honest: the only reason the so-called “Saami” are considered “indigenous” is because of their slightly asiatic appearance. If they were indiscernible from fellow Scandinavians there’d be no talk about “the only indigenous people in Europe”. You’re pathetic.
As a metis with a full blooded native ket/evenki/altai/tungusic grandfather mongolians/turks/siberians are both ethnically and culturaly different us siberians have Turks are central asian and mongolians are east asian.

In the past, they prolly did look more like them too because if you look at other isolated Samoyedic people (branch of the Uralic language family which the Sami belongs to), such as the Nenets, they look very Asian.

I don’t like the term “indigenous.” As if they have some greater claim to Europe than anyone else. “Indo-Europeans” are just as indigenous. Quit using that term to justify the ethnic cleansing of modern Europeans and replacement with Africans.
I feel the same way. It makes it out to be that sami were just minding their business, and then these Europeans came from planet Mars and colonized their land or some nonsense.
No one is using the term indigenous to "justify the ethnic cleansing of modern Europeans and replacement with Africans". They're only using the term to describe the indigenous peoples and their ancient histories. And when complaining about ethnic cleansing, please consider the groups that have experienced exactly that and think about what that experience was really like for them and the effects it's had on their communities.
There are so many woke-minions just looking for every opportunity to say something negative about Europeans and Scandinavians while pushing their immigrant agenda
indigenous are not the same as native. native is where someone is from. Indigenous is a people group that have been colonized. Swedes came to southern sweden at around the same time as the sámi came to the northern part. The thing was that the sámi stayed up north, the swedes moved more and more north, expanded. And when they came to the north, the sámi people were already established there. And so they COLONIZED IT. Swedes are native to the central and southern parts of sweden, sámi to the north. Sámi people only claim their part, swedes claim all. Therefore, making swedes not indigenous, and not native to northern sweden (since they colonized it from the sámi) sámi people therefore an indigenous group of people. You didn't even know what the words means, you didn't even know history, yet you pretend you do and speak. It's dangerous. Educate yourself
There was this story of Swedes vs Norwegians and who the Vheking or Vikings were. Vikings were known as “sea warriors” like the Phoenicians or “sea peoples”. Turns out Norwegians were the Vikings, Swedes were more into crafts, artistry, tapestry, music, literature, and development of culture. The Vikings sadly, were about rape, pillaging, and plundering. Likewise, the ancient Finns were slaves to the Swedes. The Wends, or Muscovy Ruse exploited this civilian culture. The Swedes in the 18th century went to war with the Russians Czar Peter the Great. Peter promised freedom for the Finns that helped the Imperial Russians. It worked! The Swedes were horribly defeated by the Russians and lost the territory known as Finland. Czar Peter created this nation as compensation for Finns help in soundly defeating the Swedish Monarchy. Today, many Scandinavians did not know that Swedes treated Finns as secondary citizens. The Finlanders never forgot the help of Imperial Russia under half German, half Russian Peter the Great. That all changed with time and the formation of the Soviet Union. Today, Finns prefer the term Nordic peoples rather than the divisive term, “Scandinavian “ because this term invokes a legacy of a period when certain Scandinavians ruled over the indigenous peoples over northern Artic regions of Alaska, Canada, Greenland, Iceland, Norway, Sweden, Finland, northern Scotland, northern Russia, and northern Siberia.
@@themarxologist The battle axe/corded ware culture came to Scandinavia around 4900 years ago. The Sami came to northern Scandinavia perhaps 1800 years ago. There are many ancient Sami placenames that etymologically are borrowings from proto norse. I.e. there where Scandinavians in northern Scandinavia when the Sami arrived. Additionally, there are traces from an unknown language in Sami. The linguist Luobbal Sámmol Sámmol Ánte calls it Paleo-laplandic. So, apart from Scandinavians, there were a now lost people in Lapland, who the Sami replaced. "Colonization" is only relevant here in the meaning that we have developed the country to a modern industrialized state. And we have done that everywhere. Without it, the Sami would not be able to continue with what they do.
Jesus Christ. Can we not just get a documentary on a people we don't know a lot about without having to have modern virtue signaling terms being trotted out. Furthermore: indigenous? 4000 years ago? You mean more than 35000 years AFTER homo sapians became the dominant peoples of Europe?
For me they are ancient celts blood lines from the steps they body structures and hair skin color etc say everything about their genetic code really i think they real close genetics codes speaking to the basque people of Spain they do look a like physically as well everything else
Sad to see how larger groups of people can never leave smaller groups alone !. That happens all over the world . Endangered species!. They deserve respect and should be put on a pedestal as they are an ancient people of Europe ! Even if some are now mixed with other groups!.
There is a stripe at the coast of the Baltic sea, now made by Stalin part of Russia, whose Name is Samland. It may be the first home of the peaceful Sami. Always they went away North, if they were pressed by strong neighbours.
The Sami are no different than the rest of us. they certainly are not indigenous. To be indigenous they'd have to have 100% genes from the hunter gatherers. they may have a higher percentage of hunter gatherer genes but its more akin to 25%. thus they are mostly exactly the same as us.
To be indigenous, you have to be descendants of the original inhabitant of some region. It is not synonymous with "hunther-gatherers". For example, mayas are the indigenous inhabitants of Guatemala, and they practice agriculture.
I notice that when ever “the Sami” are mentioned as native to Europe it triggers you prideful thinking Europeans, it bothers that a non white people have link to Europe 🤫😉
@@julioalbertoherrera1339 so according to this they came 4000 years after the Norse. My home place was settled 6000 years ago. No evidence what kind of people, but the tools did not indicate Sami ( I am 1/2 Sami)
@@norseman5041 So it seems there is not a clear answer. I guess they traveled from other place, long time ago, but they kept they tradicional style of life, so they maybe considered _almost indigenous._
They should be in charge of their land and their way of life. It's THEIR tribal lands. Give it back to them. We need to protect them and respect them. My heart hurts for them the same as it does for our (North American) indigenous peoples. We should love and respect them and their cultures. They are our brothers and sisters. Fight the greed and fight for their way of life. For all indigenous peoples.
What are you talking about? Are you aware the Sami aren't native or indigenous to Scandinavia? They came thousands of years after the Nordic Scandinavians. Do you believe you're living on native American land that shouldn't belong to you? If so, then you're welcome to leave at any time. If we're to 'fight for the way of life for all indigenous peoples" I guess we need to send the Sami to back where they came from too, right? (they originated east of Europe)
@@Leif208 Yeah I was just adding extra info to your comment, and also there was three Finnish tribes before Sami came to Finland, these tribes were named, Finns, Tavastians, Karelians, so it's strange to say this land belongs to Sami.

History of Indo European conquests, colonialization, or the British mandate over the Irish in Northern Ireland and the Balfour Treaty. Using and inciting Zionist Germans to immigrate to Palestine. Most of these immigrants having ties to large banking and financial institutions of the Old World networks of slave trading, opium drug smuggling, and weapons production and sales. Once you gained a thorough knowledge of their respective histories you’ll begin to understand that the Romans under Caeser never had the interests of any of the inhabitants nor their religion on their minds. It was always a country used for money laundering, weapons sales, and drug smuggling. They funneled that money to Europe and the Caucasus. After the demise of the Ottoman Empire, the coastal enclaves became a Mecca for money laundering, drug smuggling from the East, and funneling wealth from newly established oil rich states from the Middle East. It also became a smuggling haven to transport art and priceless archaeological findings back to Western Europe to be housed in fine museums throughout their capitals and the found gold artworks into gold bars housed in underground bank vaults of Luxembourg and Switzerland.
I think that the Sami culture didn't come to light because there is no reconciliation between life and death in the church. When your soul is gone, so too, are you.
But Saami people have a street smart view of things, and the culture deals heavily in paganism and witchcraft in a modern sense.
In a saami sense it's all a science. You never die. Because the soul is infinite, you merely change form or the parts which used to comprise your soul move on to become a part of another thing.
And as you liberate your soul, and change your physical form to represent that, you begin to be seen as a physical god in that culture.
But it's more like nirvana In Buddhism.
You are liberated from your form, and can achieve what you want... and Deer, they do this naturally in that part of the world, and that's how you learn this technique.
And so the Deer are gods, and so are others, but they are things we can see and hear and touch.
And some people, they become less human that way, and moat cultures see that as demonic, but not the Saami. If you can change your form, you are like an angel.
Wow, ok. That's a very interesting commentary. Thank you for that!
Thank you so much for the clarity. That was so beautiful. The Sami people's spiritual belief system aligns with mine as I have evolved over the years. Thank you for telling about the reindeer being god's, opened my eyes to a deeper understanding of symbolism. 🤯❤

Thank you for the information
It's truly a shame that some of my countrymen still think sharing this country with the Sami is a burden rather than an honor. Sure, we haven't treated them as cruelly as Russia or United States did their indegenous populations, but that's a very low bar. And even then, we can't really say we treated the sami 100% fairly or justly.
Russia is literally known as a country who tended to treat their native people exceptionally well, tf u on abt? Still, considering what the fools in the Sami parliament are doing rn (in Norway) there’s no wonder people dislike them. Can’t wait for those fools to be voted out.
Im sami. Half of our ancestry is from siberia from same people nenets and other samoyedic and khanty/mansi people came from.
This fact was used against us in very racist snd hateful way for long so lots of older sami deny it and even teach their kids to say that we are not asian..
But yeah truth is we were very north asian back in older times and still many of us look lot asian or native american.
Now we are all mixed with swedes, norwegians, finns, karelians, russians though, so our original north asian blood and look is fading away.
Sami "race" was born from mix of north asian and northern paleo european when north asian people started to migrate to north europe side over ural 4000 years ago.
Sami culture replaced the original northern european cultures as they all eventually mixed to us coming from east and to swedes/norwegians coming from south.
What is not talked about is that finnic people like finns, estonians, karelians, maris, komis came from some of the early sami leaving the sami culture and mixing and assimilating to indoeuropean farmers and iranians in volga river area.
So finnics really talk language from early sami but live culture of indoeuropeans and iranians.
Its still taboo to talk about for some reason even though its very obvious😂
Hi, our Sámi relative! I am Khanty/Mansi. There are many myths and misconceptions about our peoples. Let's start with one - Khanty/Mansi are "Asians", "Siberians" etc. Well, actually, we are only partially such. We are also partially Europeans or "white", but Indo-Europeans or other contemporary European peoples have nothing to do with it! Genetic studies have shown that our European "admixture" is very old, coming from times, when agriculture or IE languages weren't spread to Northern Europe. So our European blood is pretty unique for modern world. I believe that also at least part of Sámi European ancestry is very ancient, and you don't "own" it to Scandinavians, Slavs or whatever. Sámi inherently are "partially white plus partially North Asian" peoples just like ours are. And just like many Finno-Ugric peoples, actually. We have mixed origins probably already for thousands and thousands of years. We all have peoples having phenotypes ranging from blonde to black haired.
Thank you for your comment. I am Sámi, and have spent a lot of time trying to understand the origins of the Sámi people, and analyzing what I have found.
I firmly believe that the Sami carry most of their European heritage from the people who lived in the country before the Indo-Europeans arrived. Sami and Norwegians have more than 90% common gene mass. The legacy of those who lived in the country is more visible in the Sami language than the Norwegian language, as a large proportion of the Sami language is of unknown origin. Linguists believe these are remnants of languages spoken in the Paleo-European area. There are also remnants of this/these language(s) in Norwegian.
Although Norwegians and Sami have had different languages and religions, there have been common markers in lifestyle, clothing traditions and even parts of the religions. It is possible to distinguish typical Swedes, Danes and Norwegians by appearance. Since the ice retreated along the coast first I assume that Norwegians carry more of this specific "old" people in them than our neighbors, with the exception of the Sami, who I actually think carry more of this old people in them than the Norwegians. Let me point out that it is something I believe, not something I know. Call it an educated guess.
When other Sámi say that I am trying to erase our Asian heritage, they are wrong. I fully accept that we have some Asian genes. On the other hand, I try to highlight the heritage of the Paleo-European people. The Stone Age people who walked up after the ice.
I suspect that many Sámi are more concerned with the Asian heritage because it is what separates them from the Norwegians. Everyone likes to be special in the strange times we live in. I believe that we should love what unites us, and not what divides us.

My wife's parents are Sami. My father in law looked like if he were dropped into the middle of Mongolia, the Mongolians would not think of him terribly out of place. One video I watched about Sami, spoke of three different Sami groups. So in most of the videos I have watched they say the origin of the Sami was the Ural mountain area. Most of the videos I have watched don't mention a Northern China/Mongolian connection. But even in this video you can see that connection in some of the faces. If someone can help me understand this better, feel free to contact me.

i cant really come up with any sane sounding explanation myself, im sami but look like the most typical north european with green eyes, blonde hair etc. while lots in my family look much more "asian"... i guess it really just depends on the area, and in general we are all mixed throughout the years, especially with paleo-europeans who were the original settlers of these lands, with norwegians having been a good bunch of people for most of the time too
Because there is no connection as you think.
If you check out another famous tribe for reindeer herding, the Evens and Evenks, you will understand why Sami looks like Siberian Mongoloid.
the sami looked more mongolian in the past, today they often look identical to the avg scandinavian, tho they often are a bit stockier, maybe shorter and tall cheekbones. the skolt sami tho havent changed as much as far as im aware so perhaps thats something, but as far as im aware there are no sami who still looks like that
They live modern lifes now, with cars, Internet and all. Their religion died already hundreds of years ago when most Sami became/forced to became Christians. Most of them have ordinary jobs. Those who still have rendeer use mobile phones and usually live in modern houses parts of the year. They actually don´t live so close to nature anymore and their huge rendeerherds can damage a lot of nature. Besides they are allowed to hunt rare wild animals (wolves, wolverines, lynxes etc.) that are a threat to their rendeer which is not very nature-minded I think. But still an interesting film.
I know that I am part Sami. My great great grandmother and my fathers side was sami, but we don't know what town she was born in. After she married my great great grandfather, who was swedish, they moved to Jamtland in sweden. But my great grandparents are the ones who emigrated to America. I even had when I was in the University in the US. In a club I was part of, there was a student from finland. She and her friends from Finland asked me directly if I was, but used the word Laplander.

My biggest question involving the indigenous people. We all are originating from a location. All people were involved in some kind of racism, slavery, lands being stolen. So why aren’t everybody being treated as indigenous because we all are if you really think about it

Indigenous is a specific term relating to a relationship to the land, natural resources, and continuity of culture and way of life (key) from pre-colonial times, not about whether a people group still inhabits the area that their ancestors originally came from. An ethnic group which is the dominant one in a modern nation-state, and which has largely abandoned its traditional practices and way of life, and whose relationship to the land and natural resources is one of capitalistic extraction and exploitation, is not indigenous.
Cool.But they are actually relative new comers in comparison to the Basque and their Indo European neighbors, the Scandinavians. Once again, trying to strip other Europeans from rights to THEIR homelands by allowing one small group to be called "indigenous."

I'm hopefully not the only one to see the problem with giving specific groups of people the title of ''indigenous.'' I have nothing against the Sámi, nor do i believe the suppression/oppression of their culture is in any way warranted.
But the title of ''indigenous'' makes it seem as if they have a greater claim on Fennoscandia than anyone else despite them actually having arrived after some ancestors of modern scandinavians.
Also just want to mention that the definition of Indigenous given in the video is wrong.
this is the ''real'' one:
Indigenous communities, peoples and nations are those which, having a historical continuity with pre-invasion and pre-colonial societies that developed on their territories, consider themselves distinct from other sectors of the societies now prevailing on those territories, or parts of them.''
Which kinda sets indo-european descended people up to look like invaders and colonisers.
Sámi people ARE indigenous to NORTHERN fennoscandia. Arrived there much before the finns, russians and scandinavians. They colonized sápmi (northern scandinavia).

@ That is how sociologists and indigenous studies academics (and the UN) all use the term. Its colloquial and academic meanings are separate. When we say that the Sámi are an indigenous people group, it is referring to the sociological meaning, their relationship fo the land, their traditions, and the state. A word can mean different things in different contexts, and in this context it means what I said
Clarification. The Sami ARE NOT the indigenous people to Scandinavia. Their ancestors arrived long after the ancestors of Nordic Scandinavians. They certainly had more of a presence in northern Scandinavia before most Nordic Scandinavians, but the actual indigenous people of Scandinavia as a whole, are the ancestors of Nordic Scandinavians.

There's a number of definitions of "indigenous". None of them preclude the existence of other peoples before them, which is the criterion you seem to go by. By pretty much any mainstream definition of indigenous, the Sami people are actually indigenous.
@@wesselbindt Perhaps some definitions. Not by pretty much any mainstream definition.
Do you go to videos featuring native Americans and leave similar comments?
My family has been in north America for 2 centuries and I’m still made to feel like a colonizer or invader.

Indigenous or less commonly indigenous : of, relating to, or descended from the earliest known inhabitants of a place and especially of a place that was colonized
@@wesselbindt If the definition of indigenous is, the first group to occupy a particular area, then the ancestors of the non Sami Scandinavians are the indigenous people of Scandinavia and the Sami are not but are later "interlopers." If the definition means just any group who have lived in an particular area for a long time, then the ancestors of the non Sami Scandinavians are the first group of indigenous people and the Sami are a later group of "indigenous" people. The point is, the Sami are ALWAYS referred to as the indigenous people of Scandinavia and the native Scandinavians are never referred to as such and virtually all people who hear that claim ALWAYS assume that it means that the Sami were the first and only indigenous and the Scandinavians are the later "colonizers." Most everyone's definition of indigenous means "the first."
@@wesselbindtI agree. As a Hispanic and indigenous American it can mean people who live naturally. Live off the land and having a relationship with earth and nature. Not necessarily meaning boxing anyone in as the first arrivals. Though, here in the US that was the case, you are are correct when it comes to the term having multiple meanings. Here they mean they live as naturally and primitive as possible still. I got to visit one of their reindeer farms and it was a beautiful experience. I got to exchange stories with the Sami people and receive some beautiful hand made items, food, and even a bit reindeer pelt. They’re truly a beautiful group of people.
Not the first people in norway!sami came mutch later
they actually arrived in northern norway around the same time (if not before) the norwegians arrived to southern norway. The thing is that the sámi stayed in northern norway, while the norwegians started moving north and colonized them. Making sámi people the first people of NORTHERN norway, and since the norwegians colonized the north (and the sámi) and not the other way around. The Sámi people are indigenous

Actually Nirway gas got the biggest number of sami ppl. The next is Sweden. Finland is the third and Russia has the least number of them.
The Sami languages are not the only non-Indo-European ones in Europe; the Basque language (in the Basque Country, Spain) is also non-Indo-European, and linguistics specialists claim it may be the oldest in Europe.
The Sami are beautiful gorgeous amazing people.
Thats weird.. i bought a reindeer toy from a sami person in Norway and it says Lapland on it....
jack palance (an actor) has very much in common with facial features etc.
All of Europes people's are indigenous!!! The Hungarians, Estonians, and Basques are all indigenous people who speak non-indo European languages
Indigenous and native are different words. Native means someone who is the first to a land, indigenous means a native group who have been colonized by another group of people. Making most europeans "not indigenous" while yes, native, not indigenous. Sámi are. Hope this helped
@@themarxologistMost Europeans would still be indigenous under that definition. Open a history book
@@TrueNativeScot Wrong. Indigenous is inhabiting a place or area for hundreds and hundreds of years; the average European is mixed nationality, always having something else than their main one contributing. The average english men has Scandinavian DNA, German DNA and French DNA. The Italians has some North African, Spanish and Greek. The Sami people and other indigenous groups of people have occupied one area for a long time and have their own unique culture.
@@nemesisgardenia1this rises some other questions. The largest use of the term indigenous refers to the first peoples of the Americas and Australia, but they would also interbreed with one another similar to how Europe did. It’s one of the things like make ethnic and linguistic maps of precolonial America so fascinating. Im confused as to what makes the Europeans, Asians, and North Africans different in this sense?
@@nemesisgardenia1 Europeans have been in Europe for around 40,000 years. We have not mongrelised. The majority of Europeans are 100% European
Native Americans indians r related to the Mongolian ppl b cuz we migrated from there long ago.
Eastern Siberia, Mongolia and North China. Other theories say there maybe other colonization waves from Indonesia, Polynesia and the oldest wave came from Australia.
Mongolian and Mongolia did not exist 20,000 years, so no native Americans are not related to Mongolians only Paleo Siberians have genetic connections to native Americans.
Native Americans are actually closely related to Northern Europeans like Scandinavians as we share the same ancestor the eastern hunter gathers , Native Indians however mixed with people further east befor migrating to America, Scandinavians mixed with farmers another people who came from the area of Ukraine
@@julioalbertoherrera1339 Ahh the Australian aboriginal theory has been debunked as well as the Polynesia theory. The accepted theory is the Ancestors of Native Americans/ Amerindians arrived via land bridge 20,000-17,000 years ago which is more plausible and an accurate theory since many old world animals such as horse and camels also crossed the land bridge from America to Asia and some old world mammals crossed over from Asia to the Americas. One thing wrong with the Polynesia theory,no actual anthropologist date the habitations of the Polynesia islands until 5000-6,000 years mainly by Austronesian seafarer's.
Okay so the Americas were already inhabited before 6,000-5,000 years so before the Polynesia were inhabited by Austronesian / Polynesians, the Ancestors of native Americans/ Amerindian were already spread out across the Americas from Chile to Alaska. And 2 luiza women remains found in Brazil was inaccurately labeled australoid this is where the racist Australian theory comes from, trying to erase native American history and presence,update in genetics shows luiza women is the Ancestors of Amerindian and has haplogroups associated with the Americas and native Americans and no relation to Australia. One the first Americans were always in the Americas as always I mean since 20,000 years. The Americas were settled in 3 waves by the first American -Siberian population/ Paleo indian and evolved after thousands of years of separation into native Americans/ Amerindians.
It isnt true thatt here was basicly no contact before modern times! The vikings and sami traded, and the vikings occationally married sami women and hired sami "shamans" to help with diffrent spiritual quests. Both mythologies have influenced eachother. The sami version of the norse god Thor is Horagalles !
Well meaning, but could have been better researched!
The Scandinavian girls mixed between Sami and the actual Scandinavian are very beautiful
You seem to forget they migrated there like every other European group.
So did literally every indigenous people in the world. People weren't even living in the Americas until between 10,000 - 20,000 years ago. You have no idea what indigenous means.
@@rheiagreenland4714Indigeneity is a useless concept that’s only deployed to deny the existence of European ethnic groups. Let’s be honest: the only reason the so-called “Saami” are considered “indigenous” is because of their slightly asiatic appearance. If they were indiscernible from fellow Scandinavians there’d be no talk about “the only indigenous people in Europe”. You’re pathetic.

As a metis with a full blooded native ket/evenki/altai/tungusic grandfather mongolians/turks/siberians are both ethnically and culturaly different us siberians have Turks are central asian and mongolians are east asian. Siberians like all indigenous people have been in Russia/asia/europe for millions of yours before the mongolian and turkic peoples. The sami are originally siberian but then mixed with the Germanic invaders. Making a primarily mixed eurasian people.
The sami are our northern European siberian brothers
Thousands not millions of years.
Finns and Sámi have same ancestry Finns just mixed with europeans more so why don't you just add every human ever in there because we all related going far back.

😂 The Indigenous peoples of Europe are Germanic, Celtic, Slavic, Baltic, Italic, and Hellenic peoples
no not only
No those people have their own states so they're not indigenous. They are however native
@@jubmelahtes bruh indigenous is an actual synonym for native. From Oxford dictionary, the FIRST definition of indigenous: "originating or occurring naturally in a particular place; native". So the Poles, Germans, Celts, etc of Europe are indigenous to Europe...i know, crazy - Europeans being indigenous to EUROPE!
@@jubmelahtes what do you think indigenous even means?
Slight Inuit feature
In the past, they prolly did look more like them too because if you look at other isolated Samoyedic people (branch of the Uralic language family which the Sami belongs to), such as the Nenets, they look very Asian.
For to understand the roots of the nations, may you look the families of the language groups... By the way this people are in Ural - Altay group... So, Japan, Korean, Mongolian, all Turkish nations Kazakh Uzbek Kyrgyz Turkmen Tatar Azerian Bulgar Hungarian, Finn and Estonia people are in this family...
I don’t like the term “indigenous.” As if they have some greater claim to Europe than anyone else. “Indo-Europeans” are just as indigenous. Quit using that term to justify the ethnic cleansing of modern Europeans and replacement with Africans.
Fact: Sami are indigenous to northern Scandinavia.
@@julioalbertoherrera1339 And non-Sami are indigenous to the rest of Scandinavia.
I feel the same way. It makes it out to be that sami were just minding their business, and then these Europeans came from planet Mars and colonized their land or some nonsense.
No one is using the term indigenous to "justify the ethnic cleansing of modern Europeans and replacement with Africans". They're only using the term to describe the indigenous peoples and their ancient histories. And when complaining about ethnic cleansing, please consider the groups that have experienced exactly that and think about what that experience was really like for them and the effects it's had on their communities.
There are so many woke-minions just looking for every opportunity to say something negative about Europeans and Scandinavians while pushing their immigrant agenda
These people are not indigenous. Stop the cap.
indigenous are not the same as native. native is where someone is from. Indigenous is a people group that have been colonized.
Swedes came to southern sweden at around the same time as the sámi came to the northern part. The thing was that the sámi stayed up north, the swedes moved more and more north, expanded. And when they came to the north, the sámi people were already established there. And so they COLONIZED IT.
Swedes are native to the central and southern parts of sweden, sámi to the north. Sámi people only claim their part, swedes claim all.
Therefore, making swedes not indigenous, and not native to northern sweden (since they colonized it from the sámi) sámi people therefore an indigenous group of people.
You didn't even know what the words means, you didn't even know history, yet you pretend you do and speak. It's dangerous. Educate yourself
There was this story of Swedes vs Norwegians and who the Vheking or Vikings were. Vikings were known as “sea warriors” like the Phoenicians or “sea peoples”.
Turns out Norwegians were the Vikings, Swedes were more into crafts, artistry, tapestry, music, literature, and development of culture. The Vikings sadly, were about rape, pillaging, and plundering. Likewise, the ancient Finns were slaves to the Swedes. The Wends, or Muscovy Ruse exploited this civilian culture. The Swedes in the 18th century went to war with the Russians Czar Peter the Great. Peter promised freedom for the Finns that helped the Imperial Russians. It worked! The Swedes were horribly defeated by the Russians and lost the territory known as Finland. Czar Peter created this nation as compensation for Finns help in soundly defeating the Swedish Monarchy. Today, many Scandinavians did not know that Swedes treated Finns as secondary citizens. The Finlanders never forgot the help of Imperial Russia under half German, half Russian Peter the Great. That all changed with time and the formation of the Soviet Union. Today, Finns prefer the term Nordic peoples rather than the divisive term, “Scandinavian “ because this term invokes a legacy of a period when certain Scandinavians ruled over the indigenous peoples over northern Artic regions of Alaska, Canada, Greenland, Iceland, Norway, Sweden, Finland, northern Scotland, northern Russia, and northern Siberia.
@@themarxologist The battle axe/corded ware culture came to Scandinavia around 4900 years ago. The Sami came to northern Scandinavia perhaps 1800 years ago. There are many ancient Sami placenames that etymologically are borrowings from proto norse. I.e. there where Scandinavians in northern Scandinavia when the Sami arrived. Additionally, there are traces from an unknown language in Sami. The linguist Luobbal Sámmol Sámmol Ánte calls it Paleo-laplandic. So, apart from Scandinavians, there were a now lost people in Lapland, who the Sami replaced.
"Colonization" is only relevant here in the meaning that we have developed the country to a modern industrialized state. And we have done that everywhere. Without it, the Sami would not be able to continue with what they do.
@JohnDove-d8d Webster's got the definition. Shut up.
@JohnDove-d8d only white spend time trying to destroy what it means to be native or indigenous and we all know why that is
Sami loud and true.👍

I wouldn't be surprized if she were part Sami.
This history is comming back with the refugees in scandinavia now the scandinavian goverment should be accountable this and dragged to European court
Sad to see how larger groups of people can never leave smaller groups alone !. That happens all over the world . Endangered species!. They deserve respect and should be put on a pedestal as they are an ancient people of Europe ! Even if some are now mixed with other groups!.
Some Sami look more White while others look more Eskimo and some look like Whasians yeah.
There is a stripe at the coast of the Baltic sea, now made by Stalin part of Russia, whose Name is Samland. It may be the first home of the peaceful Sami. Always they went away North, if they were pressed by strong neighbours.
"The Hunt for Red October" (1990)
Now, what has happened to the Sami and Mongolian peoples? The
Advance Party of aliens? Now, what about the Russian base at Murmansk?
The Sami are no different than the rest of us. they certainly are not indigenous. To be indigenous they'd have to have 100% genes from the hunter gatherers.
they may have a higher percentage of hunter gatherer genes but its more akin to 25%.
thus they are mostly exactly the same as us.
To be indigenous, you have to be descendants of the original inhabitant of some region. It is not synonymous with "hunther-gatherers". For example, mayas are the indigenous inhabitants of Guatemala, and they practice agriculture.
I notice that when ever “the Sami” are mentioned as native to Europe it triggers you prideful thinking Europeans, it bothers that a non white people have link to Europe 🤫😉
@@julioalbertoherrera1339 so according to this they came 4000 years after the Norse. My home place was settled 6000 years ago. No evidence what kind of people, but the tools did not indicate Sami ( I am 1/2 Sami)

Native europeans.
All Europeans are natives. If someone think otherwise, it's because of desinformation on the net.
They are no more native than any other European ethnic group.
They should be in charge of their land and their way of life. It's THEIR tribal lands. Give it back to them. We need to protect them and respect them.
My heart hurts for them the same as it does for our (North American) indigenous peoples. We should love and respect them and their cultures. They are our brothers and sisters.
Fight the greed and fight for their way of life. For all indigenous peoples.
You sound like you think they can't do anything themselves by the way your talking and no its not only their land its also ours.
What are you talking about? Are you aware the Sami aren't native or indigenous to Scandinavia? They came thousands of years after the Nordic Scandinavians. Do you believe you're living on native American land that shouldn't belong to you? If so, then you're welcome to leave at any time. If we're to 'fight for the way of life for all indigenous peoples" I guess we need to send the Sami to back where they came from too, right? (they originated east of Europe)
@@Leif208 Sami came to Finland late bronze age/early iron age.
@@TRLGamingRTS Yes. That was my understanding too.

Well,for a start you spelt Palestinians wrong.....
History of Indo European conquests, colonialization, or the British mandate over the Irish in Northern Ireland and the Balfour Treaty. Using and inciting Zionist Germans to immigrate to Palestine. Most of these immigrants having ties to large banking and financial institutions of the Old World networks of slave trading, opium drug smuggling, and weapons production and sales. Once you gained a thorough knowledge of their respective histories you’ll begin to understand that the Romans under Caeser never had the interests of any of the inhabitants nor their religion on their minds.
It was always a country used for money laundering, weapons sales, and drug smuggling.
They funneled that money to Europe and the Caucasus.
After the demise of the Ottoman Empire, the coastal enclaves became a Mecca for money laundering, drug smuggling from the East, and funneling wealth from newly established oil rich states from the Middle East. It also became a smuggling haven to transport art and priceless archaeological findings back to Western Europe to be housed in fine museums throughout their capitals and the found gold artworks into gold bars housed in underground bank vaults of Luxembourg and Switzerland.
