Russians also lived with and mingled with the inuits. They are the laplanders who started tke 'Eskimo Kiss'. They had fairer skin and lighter features than the native mongul-looking laps.
Just got back from the Lapland and Artic Museums in Finland.

I had a friend of Finnish ancestry who remark on the similarity of Finnish and North American native material culture. They both had birchbark canoes and lived in typee/wigwam shaped shelters.
She had a decorative plate from Finland illustrating their canoes and typees.
