When you don't know the facts, you shouldn't invent ones. For instance the original inhabitants of Åland, i.e. Ahvenanmaa in Finnish, were not the same as contemporary Sámi people. Members of the Neolithic Comb Ceramic culture started settling the archipelago some 7000 years ago after the islands had begun to re-emerge from the Baltic Sea having been pushed down by the weight of the continental ice sheet of Weichselian glaciation. Two Neolithic cultures met on the archipelago. They were the Comb Ceramic culture and the later Pit-Comb Ware culture, which spread from the west. The word ahva belongs to the proto Finnic language spoken around the Northern end Eastern reaches of the Baltic Sea more than 2000 years ago. Both modern Finnish and Estonian languages have the word ahven for the fish Perca fluviatilis. Finnish has also the word ahava for march wind - very useful for the production of dry fish. Since the waters around Åland have been always rich in fish, it's easy to see where the name of the archipelago originates. Actually it's the Finnish name Ahvenanmaa, which derives from the word ahva. Christianity came to Åland by the year 1000 C.E. What comes to the pictures used in this video, some of them are not from Åland. For instance there are no fjells nor mountains and there's no taiga forest on Åland.
