Forest Finns
Forest Finns ((フィンランド語:Metsäsuomalaiset), (ノルウェー語:Skogfinner), (スウェーデン語:Skogsfinnar)) were Finnish migrants from Savonia and Northern Tavastia in Finland who settled in forest areas of Sweden Proper and Norway during the late 16th and early-to-mid-17th-centuries, and traditionally pursued slash-and-burn agriculture, a method used for turning forests into farmlands. By the late 18th century, the Forest Finns had become largely assimilated into the Swedish and Norwegian cultures, and their language, a variety of Finnish, is today extinct, although it survived among a tiny minority until the 20th century.
==Etymology==
The use of the term "Forest Finns" is first reported in sanctions issued by the Dano-Norwegian king in 1648, although they (at least locally in Norway) more commonly were known as (''Savonian Finns''), (''Rye Finns'') from their major crop, or notably (''Slash-and-burn Finns''). The people themselves often used the term (''People from the forest of Finns'').
