  • August Pettinen (9 December 1857 Ristiina – 5 March 5, 1914) was a Finnish missionary who worked in Owamboland for twenty years from 1887. He developed the mission schools, experimented with cotton cultivation in Owamboland and drew ndonga-language textbooks. He collected linguistic and ethnological material, which was published in the periodical Zeitschrift für Eingeborenensprachen between 1925 and 1927. Pettinen first worked at the Omangundu and Olukonda mission stations. In 1890, he founded the Ondangwa mission station in the western part of Ondonga; this became his base. Pettinen was lively and friendly and won the trust of the local people. Pettinen was particularly interested in school work and devoted much of his energy in literary work. In addition to his collection of ethnographical photographs, he assembled his own folklore collection. In Ondangwa, a small cotton-manufacturing school was run by Pettinen. (en)
