I wonder how many pantheons were among native inhabitants of modern Sweden. At least 4: Aesir, Vanir, the pre-Norse ones and Sami Deities.
What are Swedes taught about the Sami in school? Are they considered natives or late arrivals?

In school i'm not sure. But I was told that they were here before the nordics showed up. (the ice age makes that unlikely)

Geneticists say neither group is aboriginal. http://scienceblogs.com/gnxp/2009/09/24/saami-not-descended-from-swedi-1/ … The linguists I read say Lapps arrived in common era.
