Are the Sami people - also known as Laplanders - related to the Inuit people of northern Canada?

yes they are the same
No, not hardly! Although the Inuit (Eskimo), and Sami occupy lands of the Arctic/Sub-Arctic Rim they are not the same people.
The Sami's mtDNA haplogroups (U5b, V, and Z) distribution overwhelmingly represents a subset of the European gene-pool with some Eurasian influences which is common amongst Northeastern Europeans.
The Inuit mtDNA haplogroup (A) distribution overwhelmingly represents a subset of the Asian/Siberian gene-pool and is almost nonexistent among the non-Athapaskan-speaking peoples in Southwestern North America. It has a high frequency amongst all the Apachean peoples such as the Western Apache, Chiricahua, Mescalero, Jicarilla, Lipan, Plains Apache (formerly Kiowa-Apache), and the closely related Navajo (Diné or Naabeehó).
