	The Finns in Ohio
		This proportion, however, does not really present a true picture of their reaction to rural life for great numbers of those living in small to moderate sized cities own a bit of land in the surrounding rural territory or in cooperative groups share a small acreage in the city outskirts.
		The Finns have very strong inclinations toward an outdoor existence and, for many of those who have been caught in the swirl of urban complexities, the major ambition is to own a piece of rural mother earth.
		Finns who are in the process of acquiring land usually work in factories of nearby cities, in mines, sawmills, or during the winter season at logging.

		Among the numerous other parties holding seats in the Finnish Parliament is the True Finns party, described variously as either "populist" or "fringe".
		True Finns tripled their representation, adding two representatives to their existing single member.
		The True Finns platform, an odd mix of socialism and social conservative paternalism, will not likely get much consideration in Parliament, as they are the smallest of the half-dozen or so parties represented.

	FAST-FIN-1 (TRENPP2C) Finnish Institutions Papers
		Finns are usually characterized as being quiet, serious, diligent and humble.
		Thus the tribe can be a constituent of the person's overall identity in the same way that an immigrant may identify with his or her country of origin despite having lived most or all of his or her life somewhere else.
		Indeed, the Finns are most often said to be reserved and taciturn, honest and trustworthy, and those are essentially the features of the Hämäläinen tribe.

	History of Finland and the Finnish People from ice age to WWII.
		It was the Finns who had the reputation for being good guardsmen, while the Vikings had the reputation for being sea wanderers, traders and raiders.
		True, the Finns did not have a written history to remind them how they lived in the past until the Swedes arrived.
		And there are very large freshwater lakes throughout the mountains; and the Finns carry their boats overland to the lakes, and make war on the Norwegians from there; they have very small and very light boats.

	History of Finland and the Finnish People from ice age to WWII.
		The Finns and Baltic people are still trying to find ways of preventing the Slavs from taking their lands and destroying their language and culture.
		But I believe that the Finns have had to fight the Russians from the moment the latter entered the north, and this is the cultural memory that is responsible for all the mistrust, if not hatred by some Finns today.
		The Baltic Finns also suffered huge losses especially in 1702-4, and St. Petersburg was founded in the middle of the Ingerian-Finn's land in 1703.

	A narrative Finnish history (the s.c.nordic FAQ) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Finns are not believed to have launched Viking raids outside the Baltic.
		The Finns were expanding tribes who extended their areas continuously by clearing of woods, and sometimes by colonization of rich soil far away, as in Karelia and along the Kemi and Tornio rivers.
		Finns were successful in colonizing the inland (inland rivers, inland sea shores and inland woods), but maybe less interested in long journeys in big boats.

	general elections in Finland
		All of the opinion polls show that the majority of Finns (around 80%) are still very much attached to their country's neutrality.
		The same percentage of Finns say they are in favour of a referendum on the subject.
		However, according to the opinion polls, the Centre Party is at present in the lead in terms of intention to vote during the general elections on 16th March.

	PP2C Tribes of Finland
		Indeed, Minttu Pietilä, who has studied the Finnish tribal descriptions in her master's thesis, writes that the origin of the stereotypes lies in the differences in the rules of social conduct and communication between the 'tribes'.
		The Karelian tribe are also impulsive: unlike the Hämäläinen tribe and the typical Finn they act upon their urges and do not worry about what others might think.
		Dialect dictionaries are marketed to "interested members of other tribes" beside the speakers of the dialect in question; in magazines, musicians, actors and writers are depicted with words that are almost identical to those of the tribal descriptions, even if the word 'tribe' is nowhere to be found in the articles.

	Dictionary of Races or Peoples
		The term "Finn" or "Finnic" is equivalent to "Ugro-Finnic" (see) when employed in a still wider sense to include all thus far mentioned and in addition the Magyars and possibly the Bulgarians (see).
		Finally the term Finns is used in a fourth sense, narrowest of all, to designate only the Finns of Finland; that is, little more than the Tavastians, considering the Esths and Livs, for instance, as distinct races.
		The Finns of Finland are mainly Tavastians, or Hemes, and Savolaks.

	Sauna Tradition and Bathing Practices (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		For most Finns the sauna is not only a place to relax and get cleaned, but it has also a character of certain sacredness.
		Finns also find reading papers or arrangements to watch television or listen to radio completely out of place in the sauna.
		Many Finns like to do this all year round, which means cutting a hole in the ice in winter.

		The Finns were indeed interested in keeping all of the Finnish territories together, and this nationalistic desire for a Great Finland catalyzed the war effort for four years, but the cost of maintaining and active army for those four years proved to be too great.
		The answer may never be known, but the Finns had gained Stalin's respect due to their strong fighting, and although a Soviet takeover of Finland might have been easy, the aftermath might have proven to be unmanageable.
		For the Finns, this meant that many of the terms (such as those related to culture, fishing, and navigation) from the 1920 treaty had to be rewritten into the 1940 treaty.

	Immigrant Population Patterns of Fins, Estotians, Latvians and Lithuanians in the U.S. Federal Census of 1930
		Finns were found in the same divisions, with concentrations in the West North Central and Pacific regions, but they were spread out even more.
		Thus Balts and Finns divided as is shown in Table 7-A. This data shows that nearly as many farming Finns lived in small towns as they did in larger jurisdictions, that is, almost 44 percent.
		Speculatively, it seems that unskilled Finns and Estonians were more likely to settle in cities, whereas the better educated among them found haven in the countryside as farm owners and not just as hired hands.

	The Finnish lifestyle
		But because of the rest of the Swedish-speaking Finns who are living in cities, where the Finnish language is the dominating language, the Swedish language is slowly fading away.
		The Swedish-speaking Finns have their own big theatres, they have their own television channel (FST) and then they have many different newspapers and journals (the biggest newspaper is Hufvudstadsbladet).
		Several Finns think also that because the Finno-Swedes talk Swedish they are Swedish, but to be a Swedish-speaking Finn is absolutely a normal thing.

		Considering that the Eduskunta is currently celebrating its centenary, the steadily declining turnout (with the exception of the 2003 elections) casts a long shadow over these celebrations.

		Many Finns dare not live a full life; dare not speak their mind; do not take responsibility of their lives.
		Finns are, to a great extent, dislodged from society, they do not react to horrible decisions made by their government, they drift through life not really grasping onto anything.
		Many Finns go there to buy alcohol, which is still mystified in Finland, with the result that there is still a state monopoly here, which draws in pots of money, only to be wasted on health care to take care of alcohol misuse induced illnesses.

		In that constituency, an alliance of the Christian Democrats, True Finns, the Ecological Party and Pensioners for the People secured 22,753 votes, which entitled the group to one of the constituency's 33 seats at stake.
		Although the Christian Democrats were by far the largest party within the alliance, with 15,936 votes, their vote was split among twenty-one candidates, and consequently the seat went to True Finns' party leader Timo Soini, who won the largest number of votes among all alliance candidates, although his party polled only 5,263 votes.

		We have looked for, and not found, a single sober Finn who thought taxes should be cut by a lot, or wanted kids to pay their way to college, or felt the medical system was either no good or too cheap.
		Even if it is just a group of Finns standing around the fire, beer ja makkara in hand, singing folk songs of their country, it is music from the heart, soul, and spirit of these fascinating people.
		Finns do share the same values: Lutheran respect for hard work; egalitarianism; fairness; a high regard for nature's works; a high value on directness and fulfilling one's responsibilties, on and on.

		Many Finns were “Church Finns”—members of the Lutheran Church, far more conservative, and advocates of temperance.[24] These Finns did much to distance themselves from their more radical brethren.
		The Finns were told one day in the summer of 1937 that all adults were to report to an assembly hall at a certain time.
		As adopted Russians, we American Finns shared that fear.”[118] The optimism that the Finnish-American immigrants had once had for their adopted homeland was largely erased as they experienced the realities of the Soviet Union in the 1930s.

		Finns, in overwhelming majority, are proud of their nationality, piously sacred traditions and fidelity to culture.
		The windows of the small house are made so that towards evening (and Finns use a sauna at the end of day), beams of the setting sun bring a sensation of silence and calmness.

		It is true that Finns are prone to long silences; nevertheless, when the mood is upon them -- and it can strike at any time -- Finns can be as lively and talkative as people from any other nation.
		The country has an abundance of scenic lakes, islands, forests and pristine wilderness to explore, and a Finn is never more at home than in the countryside, where most Finns have a cottage to which they retreat on weekends.
		At other times, Finns flock to galleries and museums in numbers rarely seen in other countries, and Finland is said to have the highest rate of newspaper readership in the world.

	Finland’s moment in the sun Fred Halliday - openDemocracy
		True, a recent poll found that 51% of Finns said they had negative feelings about the EU, and some in the political arena argue against membership; they include the populist rightwing Eurosceptic, Timo Soini, whose Perussuomalaiset (True Finns Party) won 3.4% of the vote in the elections.
		The Finns are more able to speak openly about Russia than in cold-war times, but their very proximity to Russia and their foreign-policy elite's wide knowledge of Russia's language and domestic politics make them even more concerned about developments inside the country (as well as in the new EU states).
		A century ago Finland, then part of the Russian empire, was the scene of a major democratic and nationalist upsurge, embodied in the achievement of a parliament and universal suffrage for women as well as men.
