Thankyou for the comment (even if I cannot understand, I can sort of figure out what ou mean).

I thought he had an excellent voice and this tune is really deep.

No they are not related to native americans, but if you look at native peoples around the world you will find striking similarities in clothing, songs and chants. Dont know why, but that's how it is.

[Koyzo11]

I heard they're closely related to Finnish ppl as well

@ndrussiangerman1 My Grandmother was full-blood Sami from the Southern Sami group in Sweden, i love my heritage and how rich it is. really neat to see what my ancestors heart song was, and that people are willing to share that with us.

@Sulimaaren Both came from Siberia but changed over time depending on groups they encountered. We have 3 different gene pools among Native Americans- those who came from Siberia through Alaska down the West Coast (these people are direct from Siberia), those who came from E. Polynesia & down to S. America (Easter Island) then North & others who came from stars... they have all mixed but the Indian people of Central America are the same as the SW Indians of US- Zuni, Yaqi, Pima, etc...

Sami people are NOT related to Finnish people. They are both Finno-Ugric but Finns are not related to them.

My great, great grandmother was a full-blood Sami from Sweden. She was darker and shorter in stature. This genetic marker passed to my mother which is why people think she's Japanese. Also my brother looks like Keanu Reeves or Dean Cain. I look more Dinaric/Nordic like people from central Europe. Yet, it would be interesting to see what any offspring would look like if I married a Sami woman.

And why couldn't we be related to them? The Bering str8t theory ... who knows ... maybe it was always there ... we went there - you came here ... and vice-versa - so the Asian theory populating Native America ... baloney -- I think this concept is lost when you have peeps like this in Nordic countries ... I personally think we interacted years and years ago

Vain perkelettäkö kaikki englanniksi jauhavat? Hyvä oli. Jo vain.

@Sulimaaren

Yes they're.

Sami is related to the real americans so called indians american indians.

They're song seems very like and they're look on the face.

They're face is very simmular to american indians.

And indians and samis have the same backround they found out and that aint so weird if you look.

Beautiful :)

@02sweden it's not from all one place. Genes flow but that doesn't mean the populations migrate with them.

Pre-civilized cultures weren't isolated at all. The Neolithic bear cult is preserved in modern cultures from Sapmi to Siberia. Not because they all came from the same place, but because the bear cult really covered that much area.

@RaisingTurul Hungarians and Finns are actually from the same line of descent, the UrgoFinnic one :) So you are kind of connected :)
