Viking journeys reached Nenetsia as well. The Viking king Hjřr took a Sikhirtya Samoyed wife: https://avaldsnes.info/en/informasjon/hjor/. Their son Geirmund was half-Samoyed, and he was known as the greatest of all settlers of Iceland.
Sikhirtya are an extinct a Samoyedic people who migrated to Europe before Nenetses: https://www.bulgari-istoria-2010.com...y_sibiri_5.pdf. According to the book by Maloletko, Sikhirtya lived as far west as the Mezen region and Kanin Peninsula (which are today the westernmost parts of the Nenets area apart from the Kola Peninsula): "Nenets from Dolgoshchelye (the tundra to the west of the lower geographic course of the Mezen river in the Urals) consider themselves the descendants of Sikhirtya (Khomich JI.B., 1970). Nenka P.A. Khanzerova, who lived in 1968 on the Kanin Peninsula, reported that her grandfather and grandmother also considered themselves descendants of Sikhirtya."
