(Johan Wiktor) 1838 1891 Calamnius, Johan Wiktor Calamnius, Juhana Calamnius, Johan Viktor Muinais-tiedustuksia Pohjanperiltä Produced by Jari Koivisto "Muinais-tiedustuksia Pohjanperiltä" by J. W. Calamnius is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The work explores the ancient history, folklore, and archaeological significance of the Tornio region and surrounding areas in Finland. It delves into the origins of various place names, historical anecdotes, and local legends, particularly focusing on the interactions between different cultural groups such as the Finns and the Sámi people. At the start of the text, the author introduces the town of Tornio, discussing its name derived from Swedish words meaning "tower" and "island." He presents a blend of folklore and historical narrative about the fishing settlements, exploring the transformation of the landscape and the changes wrought by rising land and receding sea. Lacking in archaeological findings, the author reflects on the absence of relics from giants and Sámi people, while sharing stories of early settlers like the Pirkkalaiset and their interactions with the Sámi. This section sets a foundational understanding of the region’s history, giving insight into the local culture and its shifting dynamics over time. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
