Wasn’t Finland kinda colonized? I know it shows up on maps of stolen indigenous land

Sápmi (region of northern Finland, Norway, Sweden, and Russia), which is the land of the Sámi peoples, was essentially force assimilated over centuries by Germanic populations encroaching from the south. I think this counts as colonization depending on your definition, especially considering that those respective countries today control most of what is historically Sámi territory. The Sámi activists I follow are all supporters of a free Palestine.
