Indigenous Norwegian Travellers
- Indigenous Norwegian Travellers
:"For the so-called Taters, see Tater people."
The indigenous Norwegian Travellers are an ethnic minority group in Norway. They are a wandering people who once travelled by foot, with horse-drawn carts and with boats along the southern and southwestern coastline of Norway.
Known to the settled majority population as "Skøyer" and "Fant", they preferred to be acknowledged as "Reisende" (Norwegian Travellers). This term is also used by the so-called Tater people (the largest population of Roma people in Norway and Sweden), though the two groups are distinct. The indigenous Norwegian Travellers used to speak their own language, known as the Rodi language.
