My understanding is that it relates to the migration of various tribespeople between the North American and Asian continents via an 'ice bridge' across what is now the Bering Strait, and which then collapsed, sundering the aforesaid tribespeople, who went on to become ethnically distinct from their forbears.

It's said that Laplanders used to feed fly agaric mushrooms (the red ones with the white spots) to their reindeer, and then drink the reindeer urine.

Anyway, Lapland is a long, long way from the Bering Strait...
