WikiProject Religion (Rated Start-class, Top-importance)   The
article calls Sami shamanism for neo-shamanistic or neo-
paganistic. Then it describes the traditional Sami religion. I
think then, we could drop the "neo", and we could also dop the
paganism. Shamanistic in itself is enough. Neo-shamanism is a
modern western form of shamanism, which has little to do with
the Sami traditions. Traditional Sami religion is clearly
related to the traditional religions of a number of northern
Siberian peoples, which should be mentioned. This connection is
much more evident than connections to Finnish mythology.
