Findians or Finndians (Finnish: fintiaanit; Swedish: findianer) are American or Canadian people that descend from the mix of Finnish Americans or Finnish Canadians and Indigenous peoples of North America, mainly the Ojibwe. Most Findians today live around the Great 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]

History edit

Most of the Findians descend from Finns that immigrated 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]

Modern status edit

The American Finnish language is no longer spoken by the Findians. However, many of them retain Finnish surnames. Some are also able to speak the Ojibwe language.[1]

Culture edit

Finnish saunas are common in Findian culture,[8] as is the Finnish idea of sisu - "stoic determination, tenacity of purpose."[9]
