The Sámi (US SAH-mee, UK SAM-ee [8], also spelled Sami and Saami) are the indigenous Native Scandinavians, the Sámi-speaking people inhabiting the region of Sápmi (formerly Lapland), which today encompasses large northern parts of Sweden, Norway, Finland, and of the Kola Peninsula in Russia.
Historically, the Sámi have been known in English as Lapps or Laplanders. However, these terms are regarded as offensive by the Sámi, who prefer their own endonym, that is, the Northern Sámi Sápmi [9, 10].
Their traditional Native languages are the Sámi languages, which are classified as a branch of the Uralic language family. More: Sámi people
Finland is a county. It's no BuddhistBhutan, the last Himalayan kingdom in the world, with its "Gross Domestic Happiness" rating being of central concern. Yet it manages to be happy. It's close to Sweden, not far from Norway. It is Scandinavian. And cold. There is no reason to be happy there, unless one is just traveling. Try Monty Python Travel Agents to arrange a tour.

My Brother, Buddhist Monk | short documentary
We have an ancient Scandinavian Helgo Buddha
(Dhamma Source) This cinematic short covers a 26-year-old Finnish man who is leaving his frigid Scandinavian home country to become a Theravada Buddhist monk in the southcentral Thailand, at a Thai Forest Tradition hermitage called Wat Map Jap (aka Wat Marp Jan). This documentary was filmed by his sister, who includes the narration as she videos his departure and arrival at the faraway Asian monastery and their family's reaction to his decision to lead a pure monastic life, striving for enlightenment in this very life.

Sami ("Laplander") life might not be possible without reindeer, just as Indians needed buffalo.
Who invented our European-American version of "Christmas"? Sami shamans in Siberia-Scandinavia-Arctic Circle (North Pole) -- with their reindeer obsession, big red coat and boots, long beard, stocking distribution (used as bags over the fireplace to dry psychoactive Fly agaric (Amanita muscaria) mushrooms the shaman distributes to families living in yurts by entering through the "chimney" (open rooftop access where fire smoke is ventilated out by design. And even the reindeer get so high they "fly" by partaking of the magical mushrooms and the urine of the shaman or head reindeer, characteristically licking the snow for more of the molecule. Sounds unbelievable, but it's all true. The mushroom has a symbiotic relationship with pine trees, under which they grow, popping up as red and white wrapped "gifts." So we imitate the ritual by wrapping nice things in red and white, the color of peppermint canes, and placing them under the conifer pines tree we drag in for loved ones to find in the morning. It's like an Easter egg (mushroom vulva) hunt in winter snow with the helper Elves or mechanicals cybernauts speak of seeing and interacting with. It's starting to feel a lot like winter solstice time!
Ho ho ho, says the Shaman, gifts for everyone!
One of the least known ethnic groups of Europe. Who are they?
(Science) Aug. 18, 2024: Girl football? Forest spirits? Living in tents with advice of female shamans? Sápmi is the Sámi (\sammy\) people’s own name for their traditional territory. The Sámi people are the Indigenous people of the northern part of the Scandinavian Peninsula and large parts of the Kola Peninsula. They live in what some used to call "Lapland" in Sweden, Norway, Finland, and Russia. There is no reliable information on the population of the Sámi people; they are, however, estimated to number between 50,000-100,000. The Sami – an ethnic group who are known as the last indigenous people of Europe (or Laplandia).
Let's go through the genome, DNA, and haplogroups of many of the various peoples of Northern Asia. The natives of Siberia are a very interesting group to learn about, not very well known by the general public.
Let's touch on the fact that Hungarians, Finns, and Estonians all speak languages that come from outside the borders of Europe. Thoughts on the Sami, Ainu, and the native peoples of Siberia? Comment

Leif Erikson: The First European in North America
Hi, we're here to rape and pillage
(Viking) Thanks to a rhyme we were forced to learn and repeat in grade school, many Americans believe that Crypto-Jew (Converso) Cristobal Columbus first discovered America in 1492, after sailing the ocean blue. But what if it were an Irish monk or Viking Leif Erikson who sailed the seas serene that were aquamarine?
This Viking Cruises® video chronicles how, nearly 500 years before the debt-ridden Italian (Jewish Spanish) explorer sailed the Atlantic, a 25-year-old Norse navigator named Leif Erikson and a crew of 35 men set sail to explore the seas west of Greenland.
Scandinavia is a cold subregion of Northern Europe where the native Sámi peoples live in the Xmas lifestyle or reindeer, shamanism, and hallucinogenic mushrooms.
Viking = "pirate"
When Erikson arrived on the shores of what he called “Vinland,” he became the first known European to set foot in North America.
The Vikings knew about the Buddha: The "Helgo Buddha" Treasure

Helgo Buddha is a Viking treasure indicating world trade
Helgö is an island in Ekerö Municipality in Stockholm County, Sweden, situated on the lake Mälaren. The island's greatest width is about 0.9 mi (1.5 km), it is about 3.1 miles (5 km) long and covers 119 acres (48 hectares). Excavations are ongoing on Helgö.
The island is perhaps best known for a major archeological area. The old trading town on Helgö began to emerge around the year 200 AD, 500 years before Birka at Björkö.
The Helgö Buddha
The first archeological dig in 1954 uncovered the remains of the early settlement, including a workshop area which attracted international interest. The most notable finds included a small Buddha statuette from North India and a christening scoop from Egypt, both dating from the 6th century.
The Indian Buddha statuette, the Irish crozier [1], and the Egyptian Coptic scoop found on Helgö are presently on display in the Swedish History Museum in Stockholm... More
ABOUT: Narrated by Viking Cruises Senior Vice President Karine Hagen, this short film traces Erikson’s history and his voyage into immortality. The son of intrepid Viking explorer Erik "Erik the Red" Thorvaldson, (Erik's son =) Erikson led the historic journey from Greenland to North America through uncharted waters without a compass. Although the discovery was celebrated for centuries in Norse legend and stories, many doubted the accuracy of those accounts. Doubts about Erikson’s discovery were finally dispelled in 1960, when modern-day explorers Helge and Anne Ingstad identified a Norse settlement located at the northern tip of Newfoundland that dates back to the exact time of Erikson’s voyage. In the United States, the achievement of the Viking explorer with adventure and exploration in his blood is commemorated every year on October 9th [when Greenlander, Neo-Nazi, and Norwegian Americans rampage quietly in their bedrooms and online]. Viking Cruises cherishes its Viking heritage and connection to seafaring visionaries like Leif Erikson. Karine Hagen of Viking River Cruises is our host. Learn more at vikingrivercruises.com

Peon is a guessing game that used to be played during the annual mourning ceremonies. Today, peon can be played at any type of Indian gathering or fiesta. Four member opposing teams of either males or females play. Similar to “hand games,” each player has two peon bones (one black, one white) made from coyote or deer leg bones. A band of rawhide is strapped to the middle of the stick, which is slipped over the player’s wrist. More
The mystery behind Vikings: Groundbreaking DNA sequencing study shows they weren’t who we thought they were.
We all grew up watching several interpretations of Vikings in various forms of popular mass media, where one common thread binds them: their ferocity.
People think of them as bloodthirsty warriors whose main occupation was pillaging and plundering.
Hey, what's that guy doing here? - No, he's right.
They were mainly tall, red-bearded, heavy-set, fair-skinned, and blue-eyed, with long blonde tresses billowing in the air. Our ears almost ring with their battle cries and clanging metals for their fights ahead; they were intense, and we’ve pictured them that way for ages.
Turns out, we were all wrong. In 2020, a DNA sequencing study debunked some of those theories. More
I'm a dentist so I know flossing is not the answer.
(Dr. Ellie Phillips)The truth about flossing teeth. Most of us have been told our entire life to floss teeth daily because flossing is the staple of a healthy mouth. This is what we are told by dentists, TV, family, and friends. But it's not true, well, not exactly. It could cause harm. There are better things to do (xylitol sugar, licorice, massaging, etc.)
Grow back gums by disinfecting and letting nature do it.

How often should we floss? The truth of the matter may surprise most people because of what flossing actually means to oral health. Remove cavity bacteria. Keep the mouth clean (not sterile, which only invites infection by harmful bacteria) with the right probiotics (good bacteria).

(The Telegraph) Finland, Scandinavia, Aug. 18, 2022. Hot Prime Minister Sanna Marin, 36, has faced criticism after being caught on camera dancing wildly -- while possibly on drugs -- to music at a private event posted on social media.
Critics have questioned her professionalism, while others have praised her "work hard, play hard" behavior. Others have called for her to be drug tested, which she now has, while claiming to have never tried drugs.
