The concept of "indigenous" in Europe is a bit odd. Neanderthals are the most indigenous. They were in Europe first. Then came anatomically modern humans who had black hair and black skin. These people don't exist anymore.
Unfortunately, I think when people say the Sami are "indigenous" they mean that the Norwegians, Swedish, and Finns colonized and oppressed them.

It's not really that odd, it's a reality that Indo-European peoples moved into Europe like they did into Iran and the Middle East and India. There were peoples already living there, of whom the Sami and the Basques are the sole cultures to make it, and the Magyars and Finns are peoples who moved after the Indo-Europeans arrived in much more recent times.
