The Arjeplog blasphemy trial of 1687 took place in Arjeplog in 1687 against two Sami, Erik Eskilsson and Amund Thorsson, who were put on trial accused of blasphemy for being followers of Sami shamanism during the Swedish Christianization of the Sámi people in the late 17th century.
Erik Eskilsson, as well as Thorsson, belonged to the more wealthy Sami in Norrbotten and thereby felt more secure due to the taxes they could afford to pay to the crown.
The minister angrily defended his actions and wondered if Thorsson's father had been repented for being a pagan.
[1] The minister denounced both men to the authorities for blasphemy and demanded the death penalty, as he felt that the Sami would never be truly Christianized unless the "weeds" were exterminated.
He was freed from the charges of blasphemy after he abandoned the Sami religion, converted to Lutheranism and surrendered his drum.
