The Finn-Native connection, affectionately known as "Finndian," represents a unique cultural fusion between Finnish immigrants and Native Americans, particularly evident in regions like Minnesota. This relationship was nurtured by shared values such as a profound respect for nature, communal living, and a history of facing adversity and exclusion. Despite their diverse origins, Finns and Native Americans discovered common ground in their traditions, such as the sauna and sweat lodge, and their mutual struggle against marginalization. This blending of cultures has led to a rich tapestry of shared heritage, symbolizing resilience, unity, and the creation of a distinctive identity that spans generations.

Come join me on a new docu-series that explores identity, racial tensions in the South during the 20th century, and the unique experiences of those who historically called Louisiana home.
My name is Danielle Romero, and all my life, I have romanticized Louisiana.
Growing up in New York, it represented a place where I could step back the sepia-toned life of my great grandmother, Lola Perot, who died before I was born.
Now, it was time to go back to Louisiana--although I had no idea what the truth would be or what questions to ask---who was Lola really? Who were we?
