Kven People
Kvens (; ; ; ; ) are a Balto-Finnic ethnic group indigenous to the northern regions of Norway, Sweden, Finland and parts of Russia. In 1996, Kvens were granted minority status in Norway, and in 2005 the Kven language was recognized as a minority language in Norway. Name The origin of the name Kven is unclear. There is a theory among some academic groups that due to the discrimination and suppression by the Norwegian authorities the term ''Kven'' became derogatory in the late 19th century. Therefore, many Kvens preferred to be called ''kainulaiset''. But with the revitalization of the Kven culture in the 1970s, Kvens themselves started using the term. However, even in the 1990s there was a debate whether the Norwegian terms , , or (respectively a Finnish person, Finnish, and of Finnish origin) should be used instead.
