Yes, there are mixed Native Americans and Finns. The term Finndian is sort of a joke but it is a real thing.Here is what Lyz Jaakola says. She is an enrolled member of the Fond du Lac Band of Lake Superior Chippewa. Her mother is also a band member, and her father is Finnish. Her father grew up on a Finnish farmstead on the Fond du Lac Reservation, where he met and married Jaakola’s mother :“When the Finns arrived in Minnesota in the late 1800s, they came at a time when the Anishinabe were just put onto the reservations. There were a lot of circumstantial things and similarities in beliefs and mannerisms, that nurtured these connections between the Finnish and Native Americans..”One culture had the sauna; the other had the sweat lodge. One group found multiple uses for cedar, the other used birch. Both the immigrant Finnish population and the native Ojibwe people of northern Minnesota had strong storytelling traditions, and both put great stock in communal living. The two cultures also shared reserved personalities and the tendency to avoid conflict. Finns who wanted to buy some land of their own to settle down and start farming. The land that was available and affordable at the time was near and on reservations. Much of that land was low and waterlogged, which just happened to resemble much of the landscape in Finland.Both cultures also faced persecution and displacement and exclusion. Finns were forced from their homes when part of the country was ceded to Russia. American Indian populations had been forcibly removed. Both ethnicities were the underdogs in the region. After the Finnish involvement with the mine strikes, the Oliver Mining Co. excluded Finns from mining jobs. Finnish pioneers, Ojibwe found common groundOjibwe physician Dr. Arne Vainio is an example of this. But he really grew up Native not Finnish American or part of mixxed He is an enrolled member of the Mille Lacs Band of Ojibwe in Minnesota. His Ojibwe name is Ogimaabines and he is of the Eagle Clan.

He grew up trilingual (English, Finnish, Ojibwe).Where I live in the Pacific Northwest there are people who call themselves Indipino. When Filipinos were coming to work on farms in the area, Native Americans and First Nations people form Canada were also coming to work. People met and married and the cultures in some places combined. There was no immigration of Filipino women during the war, and law forbade the men from marrying Caucasians. In other places Filipinos assimilated into Native culture and in other places people identified as Filipino. They eat lumpia and fry bread, chicken adobo and clam chowder.

Laura Wong-Whitebear - Native Arts and Cultures FoundationSome of the earliest settlers in the Pacific Northwest were Hawaiians. In the early days they were about half the population. They were called “Sandwich Islanders”, Kanakas, and Owyhee. Many of these men married into Native families. Local Native leaders felt it was high status to have a Hawaiian son in law. Leaving Paradise: Indigenous Hawaiians in the Pacific Northwest, 1787-1898 In this 1889 photo, William Nahanee stands with a bag at his feet. He was the 17 year old son of a Hawaiian father, Joe Nahanee, and a First Nations mother, Mary See-em-ia.In 1906, here he is on the far right with other members of the Squamish tribe. They are headed to England.There are many other mixed culture communities that came into being. The Metis are a unique culture that grew out of the mixing of French vayageur fathers and mothers who were Wabanaki, Algonquin, Saulteaux, Cree, Ojibwe, Menominee, or of mixed descent from these peoples. They spoke and some still speak Metis French or Michif. They had distinctive clothing, They had an economy that was hunting and farming. They used a Red River cart. Land use patterns were French. They were Catholic with Native beleifs. There were severval times that they attempted for form their own country.The Anglo-Metis were a separate culture from mainly Scots and Orcadian fathers and Cree, Saulteaux, Assiniboine mothers. They had a different language and were Protestant. These two groups have now blended.In the SE of what is now the US Scottish men married into Creek and Cherokee families at a time when the three groups controlled the huge deerskin trade between 1720 and 1770s. These Native people had matrilineal clans and the Scots were patrilineal. At as time with not banks and little law to enforce contracts, having family in both ethnic groups was a big advantage. Most of the descendants married generation after generation into the Native communities and became culturally Native.New cultures arise all the time. People marry in and assimilate. Others create a mixed culture. This has always happened all over the world.

TL;DR: Trump is currently ahead in terms of raw votes in the swing states but mail-in ballots and many urban votes have yet to be counted, which will likely shift numbers back towards Biden, perhaps by a large margin. We probably won’t know the final result until tomorrow. ADDED: it’s looking like it will come down to mail-in ballots in PA, which are heavily favored towards Biden…but we may not have the final result until Friday, meaning that Trump and the Republicans are going to try as hard as they can to halt counting and/or throw out as many mail-in ballots as possible in PA. NC and GA are still in play as well but Trump has strong leads in both (which also makes it less likely that Democrats flip the Senate). ADDED: I made a mistake: as long as MI keeps trending towards Biden, we're likely to see a Biden win soonish and without PA (see the bottom of the main answer below). ADDED: a bit at the end from the morning of 11/5.As of about midnight Eastern Time, Biden is ahead 213 to 136 Electoral Votes in states that have been called.However, Trump is currently ahead in every swing state apart from Arizona…but that is somewhat expected. In many states, early in-person votes were counted first, where Biden was expected to have an advantage (and he was leading in several states, including Texas, earlier in the night). Next come the in-person votes from today, where Republican voters were expected to dominate. At this point, most of those have been counted in several of the states. Then comes the long slog of counting mail-in ballots, which are expected to be dominated by Democratic voters.Also, in places like PA, MI, and WI, many of the dense urban areas have reported only a small fraction of their votes.So while it looks very nice for Trump at the moment, that will change. Whether it changes by enough to knock Trump out of the lead is still up in the air (polling suggests that Trump’s lead will likely reverse in WI, MI, PA, and possibly NC). Trump is ahead by a strong margin in TX, GA, FL, and IA with 87%, 77%, 96%, and 79% reporting, respectively. So unless the remaining ballots are primarily mail-in ones (which is a distinct possibility), it seems likely that he’ll carry all four of those states.Trump is ahead by a little in NC with 95% in so that seems like a toss-up.Biden is ahead by a strong margin in AZ and MN (which some considered a swing state) with 76% and 61% reporting so it seems likely that he’ll carry those.So it really looks like it will come down to three things:Will mail-in ballots flip Trump’s lead in any of TX, GA, FL, or IA? Apart from IA, flipping any of those would be a fatal blow to Trump.How will NC go (which we should know by tonight)?How will WI, MI, and PA, go. They’re all projected to go to Biden…but we likely won’t find out their results until tomorrow.So in terms of raw numbers, Trump is winning right now…but there are a lot of ballots that haven’t been counted yet and given the mail-in and/or urban weight of those ballots, they are likely to pull Biden ahead (based on polling).So right now, based on where we’re at and the previous polling, it’s sort of looking like this:2020 Presidential Election Interactive MapLike 2016, it’s looking like the election will be decided by the upper midwest and that there just may not have been enough support for Biden in the south to deliver an early knock-out blow (but that’s still a possibility…with 28% of votes as yet uncounted, GA could yet flip to Biden; technically, TX and/or FL could too. FL was supposed to go to Biden but there was apparently low turnout in the Miami area and it’s looking like Trump will carry it. And TX has had extremely high turnout, something that usually helps Democrats so who knows, maybe the last 12% of TX votes are just overflowing with Biden ballots).And the numbers have changed three times since I started writing this so I’m going to quick submit it before I have to change things again…ADDED: updated for the morning after.Good news for voters:There’s essentially zero chance of an Electoral College tie, meaning that we avoid the drama of that.Bad news for voters:Unless Biden wins NC and/or GA, we’re edging into the nightmare scenario where it all relies on PA, meaning that there will be massive legal drama as Democrats try to ensure that every vote counts and Republicans try to delay things and throw out as many as they can.Because this may come down to legal maneuvering in PA and because Biden is on track to win the popular vote, things could potentially get very nasty.Good news for Biden/Democrats, bad news for Trump/Republicans:It’s looking like Biden will win NV, AZ, WI, and MI.If the above is true, Biden has to win only one of PA, NC, or GA to win the election.Trump has to win all three of PA, NC, and GA or pick up one or more of the states that are leaning towards Biden now (and lead that will likely grow because of the Democratic dominance of mail-in ballots, which are generally counted last).Apparently, if Biden continues to have the margins he has had with mail-in ballots, he’s on track to win PA and the election.Biden looks to be in an easy position to win the popular vote; if he loses the election, it will pour more gasoline on the fire against the Electoral College.Good news for Trump/Republicans, bad news for Biden/Democrats:NV, AZ, WI, and MI are technically still up in the air and it’s possible that Trump could seriously undercut Biden by winning one or more of them.Trump is currently ahead in PA, NC, and GA. That lead will shrink as mail-in ballots are counted but it’s a good place to be.The Senate majority will likely be decided by NC and/or GA, where Republicans currently lead.Because PA’s mail-in ballot counting may be the crucial count of the election, Republican preparations to attack the vote there may pay off, especially with Republican-leaning federal courts potentially in play. It would be a nasty move that would likely infuriate the majority of Americans but it could win them the presidency.I'm dumb: Biden has a simple path to victory that doesn't involve GA, NC, or the dreaded PA delay. NV, AZ, WI, and MI are all trending towards Biden. As long as that holds, he'll be at 270 or 271 (if ME 2 goes to Biden) even if he loses the other states. So we might see Biden get to 270 today. If, however, MI goes the other way, PA suddenly becomes the focus again. Of course, a narrow Electoral College victory makes it almost certain that the Republicans retain the Senate and Trumpism remains strong in the Republican party, meaning that we're in for a rough (but not horrible) 2–4 years.ADDED 11/05 Morning:As of about 9am Eastern Time, we have Biden at 253 and Trump at 214 with six states left:Alaska is expected to go to Trump, bringing him up to 217Nevada is close, with Biden in the lead by 0.6% and more than 86% counted (I’m using NYT for this but while they’ve been updating the margins, they haven’t updated the percent counted, making this a little more difficult); supposedly most of the uncounted votes are from the Democratic-leaning large counties so Nevada is still expected to go to Biden, bringing him up to 259Arizona has seen the gap between Trump and Biden narrow but Biden is still in the lead by 2% with more than 86% counted (probably higher because NYT hasn’t updated that) and so Arizona is still expected to go to Biden, bringing him to 270 and winning him the election.Pennsylvania has seen the gap between Biden and Trump narrow rapidly as mail-in votes, which have a heavy Biden tilt, are counted. Trump now leads by 3%. This will be close but because of the mail-in margin that Biden has had so far and because of the sheer number of mail-in ballots, Pennsylvania is expected to go to Biden (eventually), bringing him to 290.North Carolina is expected to go to Trump; he leads there by 1.4% and the remaining votes, while leaning Democratic, don’t seem to lean enough to flip Trump’s lead, so Trump will be at 232.Georgia is interesting: with 16 Electoral Votes up for grabs, Trump’s lead there has been shrinking as votes are counted from the dense, Democratic-leaning counties…Trump is down to a 0.4% lead. While Republicans are trying to use lawsuits to stop the bleeding, it’s entirely possible that Georgia will go to Biden (and could even flip the Senate), giving him 306. If it goes to Trump instead, he’ll be at 248.We should get the NV, AZ, and GA results sometime today, which will hopefully end this contest and avoid us having to wait for PA, which could take quite a while. I have no idea when we’ll have NC’s results and Alaska’s votes won’t make a difference at this point.This is what things are looking like right now (dark color means it’s been called, medium color means that the current leader is expected, more or less, to win it, and light color means that it’s expected to flip as the remaining votes are counted):2020 Presidential Election Interactive Map
