Finns confirmed as elves
You may already know this, but Tolkien took influence from Finnish in constructing the Elven tongue for The Lord of the Rings.
And the creation story of Eru Iluvatar and his definitely-not-angelic-host singing the universe into existence is pretty close to the Suomi creation myth.
