Blog: The Sami People of Northern America

We’re there ever any Sami people in the Swedish colonies in America? furthermore, what about in Russian America, namely Alaska?

Yes, there were Sami’s who migrated to Alaska to help with herding reindeers there. Like Norwegians, the Swedish community had several Sami’s pretending to be Swedish. The diaspora aided an escape from the racism they were enduring. This I have learned from the Sami American community here in the US.
