Finland, like most countries of pre-medieval times, consisted of various tribes, only one of which were the Finns. During the Viking era, there was no such thing as Finland the country. Thus, the tribes of Scandanavia in general roamed freely between the different provinces by land and by sea. Thus, the Swedish Vikings and the Finnish Vikings were often descended from the same tribe. Finland had Vikings and they were just as awesome as any other place like Sweden and Norway.
There is no such thing as Finnish Vikings (if you are referring to the Viking warriors). The Vikings who did go to Finland were Swedish Vikings.
Perhaps some Finlanders would "like" to claim some Viking relation, and they knew of Vikings...but the Finnish were NOT Vikings, more often they were the subject of Viking raiders.
