Old pictures of people from Härjedalen in Sweden

[Pallantides]

Härjedalen is a historical province or landskap in the centre of Sweden. It borders the country of Norway as well as the provinces of Dalarna, Hälsingland, Medelpad, and Jämtland.
The name Härjedalen, from Old West Norse Herjárdalr, literally means the "Valley of the Härje river". A Latinized transliteration is Herdalia, although that name is hardly encountered in the English language today. More prominent are derivations such as Herjedalen or Haerjedalen.
The province originally belonged to Norway, but was ceded to Sweden in the Treaty of Brömsebro, 1645.


The people in Härjedalen have had strong cultural and ethnic ties with Norwegians.

One day we will free our brothers and sisters from Swedish tyranny! *jk* :p

Some textbook Nordid males among them, but a lot of Osteuropid/Baltid and Alpinoid influences actually.

This one is 100 percent Skandonordid phenotypically:

Perfect textbook example.

In the mid 19th century, there could still be found small communites of South Sámi living in Härjedalen.
