Mari, a Finno-Ugric people. A

In the number 2/2001 of Alkukoti I found an interesting map chart
[alk01] with the living areas and flags
of the different Finno-Ugric peoples. It shows a simple white-red-black
triband for the Erza Mordvins (one of the two related Mordvin tribes; the
other one is Moksha).
