Joni Mitchell had Norwegian grandparents who allegedly had “Sami blood.” Her large teeth hypothetically come from the Nordic (Germanic) component of her heritage, but she has prominent cheekbones which could be from the Sami component. A map in Wikipedia shows that Sami once occupied most of Norway but were pushed back, much as Indians were in N. America, although there are many whites who claim a trace of Indian blood.

I need to take one of those genetic background tests. I come from primarily mixed scandinavian ancestors my last name means “swede” lol. Outwardly I look like any typical swede being blonde and 6’-8” tall. But my blue eyes turned hazel/green and I have large cheek bones. I wonder if there is some Saami lurking inside.
