Videos – Were Swedish Sami the first “snowbirds” in Florida?

Florida anthropologists seem totally unaware that the same unique burial customs were practiced at the same time in the Nordic lands of Europe and in the Southeastern Coastal Plain.

A recent documentary video on YouTube examines the skeletons of the Windover Pond “Bog Bodies” to confirm their Eurasian ancestry, identified by DNA analysis 15 years ago.

The oldest extracted DNA in the Southeastern United States is from Florida . . . at Windover Bog, near Cape Canaveral and in Florida Panhandle springs. Their DNA profile and their unique burial customs, are exactly the same as that of the Proto-Sami of Sweden, Finland and Karelia! Their burials dated from 8,000 to 6,000 years ago,

Some of the last burials in Windover Pond were mixed-heritage individuals with both Proto-Sami and Siberian DNA. This suggests that the Nordic migrants arrived in Florida first then mixed later with immigrants from eastern Siberia. This information, along with DNA from non-Siberian immigrants in southern Mexico, Peru and Brazil suggests that Siberian DNA was ONE of the ancestries that mixed to create a hybrid Indigenous American race.

Immediately after the Younger-Dryer “Little Ice Age” that wiped out most of the species of mega-fauna in the Americas and Europe, this unique form of burial in shallow ponds was practiced in the Nordic lands and at least in Florida in the USA. However, I strongly suspect that such burials may lay under the ocean floor, off of Georgia, the Carolinas and Virginia.

Dry weather exposed this 6,000 year-old pond burial in Finland.

We were staring at each other in the railroad car for some time, before she had the courage to speak. The two of us could have been sister and brother. Our big, fat lips, dark hair and similar facial features made us stand out amongst the Germanic Swedes.

She asked me in Swedish if I was a Mountain Sami. I first told her in Swedish that I was from the Southeastern United States then asked if she spoke English. Indeed, she was a newly minted school teacher, who was fluent in English. I then explained that I was of partial American Indian ancestry, but everybody in my office in Landskrona thought I looked like a full-blooded Northern or Mountain Sami. The words, “Native American.” did not exist back then.

I never dreamed that a snapshot that I took of her in Östersund would have great significance in the 21st century. Honestly, I don’t remember her name, but except for her lighter complexion, she is the spitting image of a Windover Pond woman. I also never dreamed until a DNA test in 2014 that my family carried significant Sami-Finnish DNA. It is from some of our most ancient Native American ancestors . . . who happened to also be Swedish Sami. They arrived in the Southeast, just as the Clovis Culture disappeared.

It should be emphasized that the video you are about to watch never mentions the Sami, Sweden or the Nordic countries. However, I instantly recognized the Windover Bog Bodies DNA as some of the mysterious DNA inside my family and in the Sami People of Sweden and Finland. I also recognized the unique burial custom, described above, because it was used on Ven Island, Sweden 8,000 years ago, where I designed a pedestrian village. That pond today, though, is a seemingly dry wheat field, which was a bog until drained in the 1700s.

A 1663 map of Ven Island, Sweden was inserted in my construction drawings of the proposed pedestrian village, to show the ponds that are now wheat and rapeseed fields, where construction could not occur.

This relative new documentary video below provides scientific analysis of the Windover Pond skulls to back up the DNA results obtained 15 years ago. It is not professionally slick as the original TV series, but is factually full of real science, not speculations.

The host of this video is also unaware that he is examining Sami Eurasians, who were neither pure Asian nor pure European . . . although he does state that they are halfway between European and Asian. He fortunately mentioned that Florida academicians and archaeologists have been bitterly attacked by Native American tribal spokespersons and thus essentially gagged, for daring to tell the truth about the Peopling of North America. Thus, this information is not widely know to the public, but nevertheless, true.

I don’t care what the tribal spokespersons say. These are my ancestors!
