Coexistence of Saami and Norse culture – reflected in and interpreted by Old Norse myths

[Don]

To the humble importance and the poor knowledge in Spain about the Scandinavians, I can tell you that the samis are integrated in the idea of the norse or scandinavians in the collective imaginary.

No remarkable distinction is made between these "2 faces" of scandis.
But, the "lapona" or sami "face" is quite more respected here and provokes more sympathy than the "viking face", associated with bands of thugs whose war deeds consisted in assaulting little villages without armed men, destroying and fleeing.

Just to show the general idea here.

So, are you a peninsular or a criollo?

My blood didn't move from Iberia in thousands of years, it seems (except continuous travels with sword in one hand to the infinite battlefields were Spain poured own child's and enemy's blood, as was duty of Castilians [because of Fueros], but if they had bastards outside Spain, its not my problem, they came back.)

I was born in Toledo.

That should answer your question.
