HELSINKI (AFP) - 'Red Indians' who live in the forests of Finland are to be expelled to Sweden. Police said members of the group, who claim to belong to the Canadian 'Mic Mac' tribe, were not Indians but a 'sect or life style'. Most have French passports.

Two elderly French couples visited the camp to contact their daughters - both over 30 - but they disappeared into the forest and members of the sect prevented the parents from following. Police suspect that the 'Indian chief' is a Canadian-born swindler, Norman Williams.
