Lol first I’ve heard of this.
This week Alaska elected their first native american to congress (she beat Sarah Palin), and her last name was a Finnish one. I was intrigued enough to research her, and it turns out her husband is from Nebraska, at which point I was “ah that’s it.” Some 100 000 Finns moved to the US in the early 1900s, and most in Minnesota and Nebraska. I guess that area is most like home. Lots of lakes, and birch trees and all that.
