We can't have a constructive discussion on the Kalevala and its relationship with cultural appropriation without first seeing it for what it truly is - a multicultural hybrid that pulls from many sources.

And claiming otherwise is proof of how little people know about this topic, the contents found within the book, the origin and history of the project, and the cultures and tradition the book borrows from.

There are misconceptions (and a bad game of telephone) at play when it comes to this topic: first one being that Kalevala "belongs" to finns, and the second one being that it "belongs" to karelians. Neither of these ideas are correct nor are they based in reality. This false narrative is solely driven by emotions rather than fact on both sides of this argument, and it leaves out everyone else whose tradition and beliefs are used in the mythos of this story book, including ingrians and ostrobothnians, such as myself. My home is the starting point of the entire project, including runes and concepts which were collected and documented before the birth of karelianism. Without ostrobothnia there would be no Kalevala. The start of the project is never discussed in a truthful manner and I just can't imagine why. I hope it stems from ignorance and lack of research, because honestly I've mostly seen people parrot the same exact unsourced claims without anyone fact-checking what they're actually saying. Finns have historically not been a monolith and to this day some still aren't, for example many ostrobothnians would proudly declare that they weren't finns up to the 1900s. It's also wrong to simply divide Finland into west and east, as this is a bit too simplistic and it creates a binary that doesn't exactly exists. The truth of the matter is that there isn't just one culture, ethnicity, country or peoples who can claim the Kalevala for itself. Nor many the "characters" included, such as Väinämöinen, who is a prominent figure in the runes and beliefs of multiple cultures, such as mine. He doesn't belong to anyone nor can anyone claim him, especially when you consider the fact that his role and nature differs depending on who you ask. Trying to hog a widespread concept to one peoples/culture is ignorant at best and erasure at worst. It's downright depressing to see the "Lönnrot came up with (ostrobothnian deity)" and "finns didn't think their own culture was exotic enough" lies spread around every website. Lönnrot was first familiarised with concepts and ideas Väinämöinen, Ilmarinen, Louhi, Pimentola/Pohjola (to name a few) from published ostrobothnian runes and lexicons, namely Mythologia Fennica. He was familiar with these concepts long before he ventured to Kainuu and Viena, he knew what he was looking for thanks to all the published works he was able to get his hands on. In fact the main reason he went eastward was because he thought he wouldn’t be able to find new material from the documented places in Ostrobothnia, and thus decided he might be able to find more material for his “longer narrative” elsewhere (1). After learning that merchants from Vuokkiniemi had recently visited Zacharias Topelius in Uusikaarlepyy/Nykarleby, he decided to head there next. Even Viena, where most runes were collected, has a unique culture due to being settled by karelians in the 1500s, and ostrobothnians in the 1600s (many of them rune singers). No doubt that pieces of the indigenous sámi (most of whom were pushed northward by the arrival of karelians) also persist in the culture of the region (possibly along with savonian and tavastian settler influence) (2). Just because these populations assimilated into karelians doesn't mean they shouldn't be mentioned when discussing the culture of Viena, and of course Kalevala. While I understand the frustration around this subject, and I do think much of it is justified, it's extremely disheartening to see just how easily attempts at conversation are shot down by both finns and karelians, and how quick people are to completely disregard and shun other cultures and peoples involved... and for what? I understand the anger, but it won't take us anywhere. It’s detrimental to push down others when attempting to uplift one’s own culture.

I truly wish people did more research on this subject and started to actually respect and acknowledge the cultures involved - and I mean all of them. The ignorance and staggering lack of research concerning this topic is unbelieveable.. and of course extremely saddening.

Footnotes:

He explained this in the foreword of old Kalevala. (X)

Karjalan sivistysseura - website’s History section on the settlement of Viena. (X)

I find these two sources the most important to the conversation; however everything I’ve just said is quite easy to research, especially if you speak finnish and swedish. These are not the only sources either, and everyone familiar with this topic knows how skewed this conversation is online, especially on tumblr and twitter.

#kalevala #pohjanmaa #ostrobothnia #lonnrot #karelia #<- this is going in the karelia tag cuz karelians spread the most misinformation around this topic along with finns #feel free to reblog and dm me if you're interested in this topic but I'm more than inclined to meet your attitude #my blog is empty rn cuz I've not had time to start it up properly yet but I'll eventually make more posts abt ostrobothnia #there is a lot of misconceptions #to the point of cultural erasure and even appropriation at times

Look at this fellah!

I forgot i had actually taken a photo of the so called “Nykarleby fox“ as people called it, at the time i was studying in Nykarleby years ago.

It was friendly fox that had ran away from a fox farm and wanted sometimes pedestrians to give it a bit of food.

Time for some black and white photography now. I'll kick off with a night photo of the water tower here in #nykarleby, #finland. I really didn't think this water tower was beautiful at all until i started taking photos of it. The night when i took this shot clouds were drawing in hiding the stars that I had hoped to get on the photo. But it turned out quite well anyway. Maybe it even got better this way. And suprisingly nice in bw if I can say it myself. More black and white to come. Follow if you haven't already. . . . . . #arquitetura #architecture #archidaily #architexture #archilovers #exterior #exteriors #facades #blackandwhite #bnw #monochrome #monoart #insta_bw #bnw_society #bw_lover #bw_photooftheday #photooftheday #bw_society #bw_crew #bwwednesday #insta_pick_bw #irox_bw #igersbnw #bwstyleoftheday #monotone #noir #fineart_photobw #crealiodesign

Carcere (Gösta Ågren n. a Nykarleby, Finlandia il 3/8/1936) Laddove c’era una possibilità di fuga restarono tutti nel carcere. La possibilità di fuggire era una libertà che nessuno voleva perdere.
