its traditionally regarded as Sami zone that part of the country with some Finnic groups to the south of it

norway did a little bit of forced assimilation, in the northern part of norway you have a region called Finnmark and that is not a coincidence.

176k people live in Lapland region and most of them are around the southern parts. You can easily drive through the place and run out of gas.
