Fun fact: at roughly the same time when the Indian trading port was established. King Gustav III was planning to establish a colony in Western Australia by the help of the Dutch-English explorer William Bolts. A contract had been signed and preparations went underway, but sadly it’s funding got delayed when war broke out between Sweden and Russia and eventually the plan were cancelled.

According to Wiki, New Sweden was settled by 600 Swedes and Finns, a number of Dutchmen, a few Germans, a Dane, and at least one Estonian. Further investigation reveals that the half of the settlers were Finns. Hence the Delaware Finns and the southwest corner of the cape of Penns Neck, on the east bank of the Delaware River near its mouth on Delaware Bay, being called as Finns Point till today. There's also the Mullica River in southern New Jersey. Named after Eric (Erkki) Pålsson Mullica, an early Finnish settler to New Sweden. He and his family were the source of the name of several geographic features and places in New Jersey. Pålsson means 'Paul's Son' in Swedish. In Finnish 'Paavonpoika'. Eric's father was Pål (Paavo) Jönsson Mullica. The father of Pål (Paavo) was Juho Mullikka, who had earlier moved to Sweden from Finland. "Mullica" is a variation of the Finnish term 'mullikka', which means 'young bull'. Finns brought their carpentry skills and ways of working the land. The oldest log cabin still standing in its original location is in New Jersey due to those settlers. Also one of the men who signed the Declaration of Independence, John Morton, was a descendant of those settlers. A Finnish settler Martti Marttinen was his great grandfather. The surname Marttinen was changed to Morton.

To clarify, by "developing" you mean either completely ignoring or converting Sami to christianity? Not forgetting to tax them of course. During the history, Sami never got any positive attention from any of the countries they have lived on: Norway, Sweden, Finland or Russia. The only question is "were they ignored as 'backwards' people, converted or tried to erase their culture to achieve an ouright cultural genocide?" The latter was what Russia did, the former choices are what the other nordic countries did. There is no need to sugar coat the thing, no nordic country did any favours for the Sami. It's a small miracle that so much is left of the Sami people and their culture, even in the nordics.
