I'm sorry if it seemed like I made that assumption. I certainly didn't mean to. There were attempts at similar things in the Nordics, and certainly Russia displaced many local tribes in its hunt to stamp out any ethnical uniqueness through-out Russia, under Communism, for the gain of assimilation. We see similar tendencies today in China, although there seems to be a sort of uneasy acceptance of the minorities there. Well, if you disregard the not-so secret re-education camps... Anyway, a great movie about the difficult adaptation to Scandinavian modernity among Samis, and the prejudice towards them, is the Swedish movie Sami Blood. Highly recommended!
