Yup, Santa, and the old boy has been around a lot longer than Christianity, Taoism, Buddhism, Confucianism, Islam and Judaism.

BTW, that was just this last Tuesday evening when I saw the Hakka version of the "three emperors" for the first time.

They used to herd reindeers too!

[muawiyah]

After no small amount of research I discovered that modern central Swedish rural populations still exhibit the "large teeth" phenomenon.

They are not, however, Sa'ami, although I suspect some Sa'ami have, of course, found opportunity to "mate with them" from time to time ~ that being the normal course of events for folks who live out in the woods with nothing to do but chase reindeer, chop wood and try to grow rye.

I've studied some about the Hakka and Xiongnu. They made five migrations all the way across China. The ones with Caucasian features were singled out and killed along the way during these migrations.

It is my opinion that the Xiongnu and the Hakka are related to the Caucasian mummies found in the China desert a few years back. The Curse Of The Red-Headed Mummy

Ping to the Swedish Ping List.

Could be. The other story about the Hakka is that the reason they (and all the other Chinese have pug noses) is because the Emperor killed all the long nosed ones.

Since these are the same people as the Yayoi in Japan, and many of them have nose bridges, I'd suspect the story is not exactly true.

Still, there's a uniformity in reindeer cultures from Western Asia to Eastern Asia, so whatever their genetic background, they did some cultural swapping.

Even extends to Santa Claus.

‘strange eyes’

Very true, I have a good friend from Finland, she has beautiful eyes, slightly asiatic, blue eyes and ash-blond hair, I am so envious...

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.

“The black dots on the map show the distribution of places with Saami names, evidence that they had once settled far beyond the borders of “Lapland.””

Have you come across any lists of Saami names?

[blam]

"Have you come across any lists of Saami names?"

I don't understand the question.

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.

[Yaelle]

LOL!

I meant lists of surnames and perhaps towns or locales that have their origin in the Saami native tongue.

Freeper Muawiyah would be the most help on this request.
