@chibiromano5631 This is interesting. I also came across similarities between Algonquin, Iroquois, and Sami people independently.
I suspect that military pressure on the ancestors of the Algonquin and Iroquois caused some of them to build small ships and travel from New England/Newfoundland to Greenland, then Iceland, then Scandinavia.
Eric the Red of Viking descent many centuries later knew of an ancient trade route that connected Vinland and Norway, and his son Leif Ericson eventually traveled there.
The ancestors of the Iroquois and Algonquin tribes were from the Hopewell American period and region that is now the Eastern US.
There is a high likelihood that the Hopewell ancestors arrived via large ship to the Southeast US gulf coast region around 600 BC, which is where there first settlements appear in the archeological record.
Even more interesting is their mound-building civilization that spanned up the Mississippi, Great Lakes, and Northeast US, disappearing around 400 A.D.
The similarities in clothing, language, shelter, and sweat lodges between Algonquin, Iroquois, and Sami are striking.
I have a suspicion that this is the true origin of the Sami language, which then became one of the main roots for Suomi (Finnish).
Sami and Finnish sound very Northeast "Native American" in feel, nothing like Norwegian, Swedish, Danish, or Russian.
The Sami and Suomi have always been seen and treated as the oddballs/misfits of that region as well.

@cchrizzy219 There are some very strange genetic, cultural, and linguistic inputs into the British Isles that can't be explained by Indo-European influences, especially when you look at Druids, Celts, and Picts pre-Roman contact.
What is becoming more obvious is the frequency and normal sea-faring travel of ancient civilizations.
The idea that people couldn't travel by sea across the Atlantic and Pacific from Europe, Africa, and Asia, doesn't agree with the haplogroup record, megalithic structures, and regional artifacts.
We see tons of evidence of regular sea traffic between continents.

@cchrizzy219 As I have studied indigenous peoples of North America for decades, the history becomes more complex.
We have the ancient Adena and Hopewell peoples of the Eastern Woodland and Mississippi regions, who I believe came from the Middle East at different times by boat.
Adena date back to right after the Tower of Babel, so they weren't walking that far.
Hopewell arrived near Florida/Georgia when the Mississippi Delta was more like a huge bay area in a post-glacial period of significant water bodies in North America that have since subsided.
We have very detailed geological records of the Mississippi though, due to sedentary fluctuations like a snake, leaving deposits in a pattern that acts as a calendar.
The Adena and Hopewell built a lot of structures with orientation to the stars. The vast river network promoted fast travel and trade, with lots of copper, furs, timber, and fairly advanced workmanship in goods.
They were far more advanced than most historians give them credit. There are baptismal fonts with the water still running in a hidden subterranean temple in the hills of Pennsylvania, for example. Pyramids in Illinois at Cahokia Mounds, Jewish structures that pre-date European exploration, Ten Commandments inscribed on a boulder in New Mexico pre-Columbus, the Bat Creek Stone with ancient Phonecian/Hebrew inscribed on it "For the Jews", and strange things like that.
There's also evidence of regular trade between Mississippi and Mexico/Guatemala due to specific pigments that came from Central America.
It also looks like Chinese came by ship to Central America on several colonizations and voyages.
The traditional history we've been told is really silky, about cavemen walking across the Bering Strait. Why walk when you can sail?

@colinchampollion4420 I noticed striking connections and similarities between the sweat lodge, clothing, chanting rituals, dress, and language between Algonquin, Iroquois, and Sami peoples. I have a theory that this is where Suomi (Finnish language) might get its main roots. Sami, Finnish, and Estonian are anomalies in the region, not Indo-European. There are also Ingrians, Livonians, Karelians, and other remnants of Finnic languages in Northwestern Russia, most of which are dead languages that went out over the past 2 decades.
Pre-information age archeologists and historians were very myopic mostly, looking for tidy answers to very complex human migratory behaviors over time.
The evidence points to far more sea traffic than was known or recognized by academia over the past several centuries.
The Mediterranean civilizations had seafaring peoples from Phoenicia, Egypt, Greece (including coastal cities now located in Turkey), Carthage, Sardinia, Sicily, Iberia, etc.
The various peoples found throughout North America, Central America, and South America have come from and traveled to other continents at different and overlapping periods of time throughout history.
The era of the Vikings and recent European explorers are just the later chapters of that saga.
We've had a very interesting record of a group of people who left Babel after the tower, headed north, then crossed a large body of water, before building sealed vessels to cross the Great waters and land in the Americas.
Their records were passed onto descendants of another group of people from Jerusalem that fled the Babylonian invasion of Jerusalem in 597 BC, and also traveled by ship to North America.
We have inscriptions in the Eastern US in ancient Hebrew.
There was so much copper mined from the Great Lakes region in ancient times, that it represented volumes that indicate inter-continental trade.
I think natural disasters, cataclysm, and war erase continuity between the historical record, and we're left with a few puzzle pieces.

@cchrizzy219 I have a theory that Algonquin tribes or relatives escaped wars in what we now call New England, by building long boats and traveling to Greenland, then Iceland, then Scandinavia.
Here's my reasoning:
The Saami people in Northern Scandinavia and Finland had teepees, clothing, chanting songs, sweat lodges/sauna, and words that all resemble native American tribal parallels from that region. The Finnish language isn't Indo-European, and has puzzled researchers for centuries. It's nothing like Russian or Swedish.
The Viking/Norseman Leif Ericsson, son of Eric the Red, was told by his father that there was an ancient trade route between Vinland and Scandinavia.
Leif and his crew didn't just set off to the end of the earth in iceberg-infested waters for fun on a whim.
This might explain why Finnish DNA is showing up in your genetic profile, or there's another possibility too.
I have another friend from Colorado who is Hispanic. Her DNA came back with Finnish ancestry as well, but there's no knowledge of any Finns in her heritage. When she got the results, it didn't make any sense.
There are always surprises though, and a lot of Finns and Swedes immigrated to the Great Lakes region in the past 140 years.
