Mythology
The exact origin of the Native Essrinan Easwegians is unknown, but what is known is that the Easwegians originated from somewhere in Bjarmaland, probably the Komi territory and broke out through travelling with the Pomors in the 12th century. As trappers, they travelled to Svalbard and first discovered Bear Island.

During the travelling of Svalbard, they met Norse vikings who had come from Iceland. The tribe that had travelled to Svalbard decided to stay on Bear Island, and often traded with the Pomors which helped them build a home on Bear Island, whilst exploring the rest of Svalbard, getting to Hopen and the Southern tip of Spitsbergen the next century.

The Easwegians, known natively as the Zerri are a seperate tribe to the Komi, the Nenets, and the Saami, but their language has many words which come from Finno-Ugric languages. This was strengthened with the continued trade with Northern Russian ethnicities after Easwegians continued trading more once Willem Barentsz rediscovered Bear Island in 1596.

These shared cultural values have led the Easwegian irredentist movement to claim that it justifies a common state in order to protect and expand on the culture which has been often wiped away because of conquests by both Norwegian colonialists and Slavic influences, which almost wiped out many ethnicities such as the Nenets and especially the Pomors during the existence of the USSR.
