A thousand years : Indigenous peoples and Northern Europeans / an essay commissioned by the Royal Commission on Aboriginal Peoples ; by Peter Jull.: Z1-1991/1-41-87E-PDF

It is inevitably difficult and even unfair to compare different social histories, different intellectual traditions, and differing cultures such as Scandinavia and Canada in a brief summary. However, what follows is an attempt to do just that. There are approximately 75,000 Sami living in Norway (50,000), Sweden (17,000), Finland (6,000), and Russia (2,000). These numbers are unreliable because of past discrimination which has made many Sami reluctant to claim their heritage.
