I know them as Lapp or Laplanders, which they consider derogatory.

Please don't call them Lapp or Finn, they hate it. It's just like calling an Inut Eskimo or someone of the Rom people Gipsy. It might be worse than calling one with dark skin negro.

Thank you for the interesting lesson. Happy belated Saami National Day. :-)

Being able to use yellow on these puzzles would make this one perfect. Thanks for the history/cultural lesson, belatedly for me, of course.
