Talk:Lars Levi Laestadius

Sámi etnicity
Laestadius had only very little Sámi blood. That he should have claimed Sámi ethnicity is not shown in any of the biographies that I have read (I'm currently rewriting the article on Swedish Wikipedia). I will remove the Sámi label from the box.--Skogsfrun (talk) 12:26, 19 December 2011 (UTC)
 * According to information I've collected, he was half Sami and closely identified as Sami, personally and culturally (and not only rel his ministry). This is according to Laestadius scholar Professor Juha Pentikainen--especially page 24 of the Fragments of Lappish Mythology English translation.  Also, the Sapmi website identifies him as Sami.  If someone has valid citable source material that he was not Sami or only marginally Sami, please provide those sources.  If in Swedish or some other non-English language, please provide the original text citation, and if you would like to, an English translation as per Verifiability.  I am going to change his ethnicity back to Swedish - Sami as per the above sources, and I will cite those in the infobox. Regards, Paavo273 (talk) 01:05, 3 July 2013 (UTC)
 * The one who makes a claim is the one who has to prove it. From reasonably new and mainstream research into the subject concerned (not remarks in research on other subjects), preferably more than one source, referred in footnotes. 151.177.57.131 (talk) 21:07, 11 February 2019 (UTC)
 * To be a little more specific: ancestry (or even emotional attachment if proven) is not the same as identity (either self-defined, in the modern way, or as defined by others, which was the way of Laestadius' time and long after). 151.177.57.131 (talk) 15:02, 12 February 2019 (UTC)
 * If you have ANY valid source contradicting the scholarly sourceS cited, provide them here. Deleting valid scholar-sourced info without better sources amounts to vandalism or something akin to it. Paavo273 — Preceding undated comment added 04:08, 14 December 2020 (UTC)
