But Finns are not "scandanavians", but have linguistic and cultural similarities to American Indians. In Minnesota, the Finns and Chippewa got along because of this.

Finns are actually related closer to Estonians and Hungarians ( Magyar )than the other Scandanavians. The language base all three share is Finno-Ugric.

Finns are hard to pigeonhole.

Linguistically, they _are_close to Estonians and Hungarians, but, at least as indicated by Y-Chromosome haplogroup frequency, they are genetically closest to the Saami, Lithuanians and Estonians. They are fairly close to Swedes and Norwegians, but closer to Indian Uttar Pradesh Rajputs than Hungarians.

Look here.

I'll have to try your link at another time. But the information you present looks interesting. I'll check it out. Thanks.
