Interesting. Thanks. A very interesting region and people. The freaking mosquitoes in the summer must have been and are brutal.

“The Scandinavians have take two approaches to the Sa’ami over the centuries. First they tried to ship them out to America ~ and secondly they tried to force them to become good little Finns, Swedes or Norwegians.”

LOL! Do they deliver? I have a Fed Ex number? Send me a Kirsten Dunst clone who is not pro-Obama. ;-)

“More recently they’ve given up that stuff.”

Probably not the type of people you want to piss off. My guess is they are pretty strong and hearty people.

I figure there are about 9 million of them ~ here. There are less than 100,000 in Europe.

They have a fertility problem. On the one hand there are some Sa'ami males who have enhanced potency ~ or "super sperm". Then there are half of the males and females who simply have indeterminant infertility. Charles Darwin's children had that.

Charles ancestors appear to have been Orkney Islanders. The current wave of excitement is that they, too, may be Sa'ami but culturally completely absorbed by the Indo-Europeans.

BTW, Kirsten is a sad case. She's beautiful, learns her lines great, can work well with others ~ (as long as they are the same three people). Otherwise she sounds like she has the worst sort of Intermittent Scandinavian Porphyria and leads a quite miserable emotional roller coaster.

I wouldn't credit her with having a significant political point of view. On the other hand I wouldn't let her hang around me if there were guns around anywhere ~ or knives ~ or combustibles.
