The hut of a family of Finnish migrants from Finland who settled in forest areas of Värmland in the west of Sweden during the late 16th and early-to-mid-17th centuries, and traditionally pursued slash-and-burn agriculture, a method used for turning forests into farmlands. By the 19th century, the Forest Finns had become largely assimilated into Swedish cultures.
