There was also a mentioning of a group of Sami people emigrating to Canada and Nova Scotia with the help of the United States government in order to teach the native americans reindeering.

I think these skinheads are mostly belonged Swedish Minority of your country. Swedish Culture Imperialism is very high potential danger for Finland in my opinion. Finns are ethnically Uralic People and different from Norwegians, Swedish, Danns. But there is a huge Sweedish Influence in your south coast and metropol regions. Aynur, would you give some information about the Swedish Invasion of Finland? Do you have national heroes who resisted them? Btwn I am an admirer of Finns Winter War against commies I'm not familiar with any national heroes who resisted the swedish colonialization/imperialization of the country but I think there was some mentioning about some shamans and local tribes resisting their influence during history class when I was a kid. There wasn't an actual swedish invasion, the swedes and other germanic peoples from the west came in waves in time until some groups established themselves here and expanded of what was to become the Swedish Empire. Swedish language was usually the language of the aristocracy and basically every aristocrat was of swedish origin, the finnish language was the language mostly used by peasants and the normal people who had no word in politics-- it was sort of a linguistic racism. Similiar thing happened during russian rule when finnish people we're forced to learn russian language. And, in fact, swedish language wasn't a subject in finnish schools until the late 1970s because the swedish minority wanted so. Christianity was introduced to the finns from the three ( or four ) crusades conducted by the swedes. Here's a Sami family taken from northern Norway ( which was never inhabitated by nordic and germanic peoples ) around 1900. upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/8/87/Saami_Family_1900.jpgAs you can propably see, all of them have turanid/mongoloid features and characteristics in their faces. They all also have black hair, same thing with my father.

The Finns share lots of chromosonal similarities with the Buryats, who in turn shares some affinities to northern Koreans and the Japanese. I believe the "Buyeo" nation did make a migration east from the lake Baykal region. And they at the same time made a journey out to the homeland of the Finns. This occurred around 3000-2000 years ago. I wouldn't personally say that they are descednants of inhabitants of the Lake Baykal region. It's just the fact that Finland has europeanized so much because of the fact that it was under Swedish control, then Russian as a grand duchy ( 800-900 years in total ) and most are lutherian christians ( orthodox christian myself, most propably from my mother's side ) that you don't even notice the altaic/uralic culture here anymore, 500,000 of the 5 million people who live here live in the capital Helsinki and the only place to find similiar culture that you find in the east is northern Lapland among the Sami ( saamelaiset in finnish, the language is saame ). That also sort of isolates the estonians and finns from the rest of the finno-ugric peoples. Also, alot of foreigners who visit here often express that the finnish language sounds alot like japanese/korean, therefore the language doesn't have much to do with indo-german languages except some borrowed words from german and swedish ( keksi = biscuit, in swedish/german = keksen ) and it's classified as finno-ugric language. At least 80 percent of the people who live in Finland and speak finnish and claim to be fully finnish and are blonde/have caucasoid facial characteristics most certainly have descednancy in Sweden or Russia or the Baltic countries.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nihal_Ats%C4%B1zI'm currently working on an essay on this guy but most of the sources are in turkish and unfortunately I only understand like 1 percent of what they say on those sites. I'd really appreciate if somebody could give me some proper information on this guy, Wikipedia just isn't enough. By the way, has somebody ever read his books? Bozkurtların Ölümü, a novel of his sounds interesting.

Always wanted to learn how to ride a horse considering my roots from both my father's and my mother's side. Unfortunately here in Finland the offering is very poor and most of the classes are just the usual, boring and useless european-style riding.
Agreed with a relative that the next I time go to Kazakhstan he'll teach me to ride a horse. That's just a must.

I might be wrong, but isn't this a Seljuk horse archer?

I wanted to start this new topic because it had been a long controversy in Finland itself of the actual roots of Finland-- in fact, we have skinheads and white supremacists here that consider us indo-germans, which isn't true. If you only look at the language of Finland, it's finno-ugric. Now, being a little turanist myself I consider that the Finnish people are from the east, not west. However, the history of Finland might cause a little hassle if you compare it to the origins of the Finnish people. In fact, swedes who are of indo-german origin originally took and christianized the country in the early 1200s, smelting most of the population with the swedes. Because of this, in the school system of Finland, everybody, even immigrants like somalis and turkish have to learn how to speak swedish-- it's in fact a subject in school and I've strongly opposed to it. However, I myself dont believe that I am finno-swedish from my father's side since he's got significantly darker skin than most Finnish people and his facial characteristics, like mine's, have alot of turanid features. Same thing with my mother. I'd like to hear your opinions on this matter. You can also talk about the early history of Finland, from the times of the shamans all the way to the Winter War against the Soviet Union
