They are Mongolid looking -- also, sa'ami genetics indicate Mongoloid genes on the patrileanal side. From wikipedia
Since the early years of genetic research, the Sami people have caught the interests of scientists. The fact that the Sami languages belong to the Uralic languages family of Eurasia suggested that the Sami might be of Siberian origin. The frequency of blood group and protein polymorphisms in Saami differ significantly from the general Swedish population.[1] In more recent years the use of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) and Y-DNA chromosomal markers has offered the opportunity for clarification of the origin of the Sami. While their mtDNA haplogroup distribution mainly represents a subset of the European gene-pool, the most common Y-DNA haplogroup among the Sami is of Asian origin. However the second most common haplogroup is I, which is found almost exclusively among those of European ancestry. Thus the Sami appear to have a complex population history, suggesting a mixture of peoples arriving in Fenno-Scandia at different times, from different directions.

Nonsense. That's the older theory. Modern genetics discovered the Sa'ami are no more Asiatic in origin than are all the other white folks in Europe.

They are simply the FIRST white people to break out of the Ice Age refugia along the Spanish/French border areas.

The cold, hard facts are that ALL Europeans have a 5% East Asian background population down there, and ALL East Asians have a 5% European background.

Topping it off Sa'ami have a special DNA sequence they share with all Sa'ami, the Berbers, the Fulba, the Sakha/Yakuts, and North American Indians (not all of them just the Ojibway/Chippewa, the Cherokee and the Iroquois).

Here's a picture of a modern Sa'ami woman who's been welfed ~ and had her teeth straightened ~ (from an open wiki file)
