Sami and Inuit are two entirely disjoint population groups. Different language groups, different genetics.

Yes, I was being simplistic so people could make the genetic connection. They share genetic similarities because of diet and environment. Both are arctic indigenous peoples.

I believe the people in the Arctic before the Inuit also had a completely different genetic adaptation to the area.
