The Tavastians or Häme Finns (Finnish: hämäläiset; Swedish: Tavaster) were an ancient Finnish tribe that inhabited the historical province of Tavastia (Finnish: Häme). In Russian sources, they are called yem (емь) or yam (ямь), but the term later disappeared from the Russian language after Finland was incorporated into the Swedish realm.
