Anders Larsen

Larsen was born in Seglvik in Kvænangen Municipality in Troms county, Norway.

Larsen served as the editor of the Sami newspaper Saǥai Muittalægje (The News Reporter) from 1904 to 1911.

[4] In the fall of 1949, the same year that he died, Larsen sent a manuscript about Sea Sami life and living conditions to the philologist Just Knud Qvigstad.

[5] The text was first published in Sami in 1979 as Mearrasámiid birra in Larsen's Kvænangen dialect in the Tromsø Museum series Acta Borealia.

Here he continued his efforts for "the same right as other people to life's table" (samme rett som andre folk til livets bord),[6] as he phrased it.
