I did a test recently and found I had 70% "scandinavian" DNA origin, rest was finnish, French/german and british. And 1 percentage from deep amazon. But yeah, I knew of this, but I do not think all Norwegians do. And for the Sami, they were treated bad for a long time, but not so much in the viking age. Worse in the christian period and worst in recent history until the 1980's. Norwegification it was called, kind of. One of the darkest chapters of Norwegian history. Today they have their own "Sameting", kind of their own governing structure and their own language rights and cultural rights, along with increased protection for their reindeer herding. But not without problems. There were different kind of Sami people. If not for many Sami loosing their language and culture attachment in the Norwegification period from the 1700s onwards, more would be Sami today. But there are maybe 100,000 but not all speak Sami as many lost their language and links to the culture.
I'm a norwegian forest finn so I'm 25% finnish, 70% scandinavian, 2,5% Inuit and 2,5% southern italian. The Sami people pay less tax have cheaper electricity etc. They have their own government and flag aswell.
Its not only the Sami people I think ? It's all of Finnmark that gets subsidies! To counteract centralization, we need dentists, occupational therapists, taxi drivers and so on for people there too!
Yes, I've had a DNA-test. I'm 93% Norwegian and 7% Finnish. We've had extensive geneological research on my fathers side, but not on my mother, where the Finnish genes comes from, so it's a bit of a mystery. Could be that I'm related to Kven or Sámi people or that a great-great grandfather moved in from Finland.
I have no knowledge about DNA at all. So the letters and numbers doesn’t mean much to me. In the end I feel like that the cultural history is much more relevant. Yes, one can sometimes see a difference between certain people, but I think the difference today has more to do with cultural and social factors than DNA. Great video though!

Sykt
Why do Sami pay less tax than the rest of Norway?
"Finnmarksfradraget" 30000 nkr in 2024..
@@larsbjrnson3101 ah, so it's because they live in the north, not because they're sami, got it

The Samis did not get to Scandinavia before the Scandinavians. 💯
