Ethnic group
Findians orFinndians (Finnish :fintiaanit ;Swedish :findianer ) are American or Canadian people that descend from the mix ofFinnish Americans orFinnish Canadians andIndigenous peoples of North America , mainly theOjibwe . Most Findians today live around theGreat Lakes in Canada and the United States.[ 1] [ 2] [ 3]
The population number of Findians is unknown, but it could be between a few hundred and a few thousand.[ 4] [ 5]
Most of the Findians descend fromFinns that emigrated to the United States from Finland from 1860 to 1924 and the Ojibwe.[ 6]
When the Ojibwe and Finns met, they taught each other cultural elements, such as hunting skills and architecture.[ 7]
TheAmerican Finnish language is no longer spoken by the Findians. However, many of them retainFinnish surnames . Some are also able to speak theOjibwe language .[ 1]
Finnish saunas are common in Findian culture,[ 8] sisu [ 9]
