As far as I know many Karelians and Saami are pagan. All nonslavic tribes in the north of Russia are pagans as well. If I am not mistaken.

Hmmm... It would be interesting to see how many are true pagans or are actually Christians who keep some pagan traditions as a means of preserving their culture.
 
Here in the USA, I am under the impression that most Native Americans self identify as Christians and that they retain pagan based religous elements as cultural traditions only.
