Free Course About Yoik

"Significant things to know about yoik" 

Next time you hear a yoik on the radio, TV, Internet or live, you will have the fundamentals to be able to understand yoiks better.

 

Do you find the indigenous power of yoik fascinating?

This course will give you understanding of what yoik is, who the Sami people are, where we live, and who can yoik.

The "yoik" is the Sami way of "singing" - one of the oldest vocal techniques in Europe.

The Sami people (formerly also called lapps), are the indigenous people in Scandinavia and Russia.

 

This free course called "Significant things to know about yoik" arrives directly to your mailbox.

From the shop: 

"A  Sami legend says that the Sami are the children of the sun and the earth.
But the survival of the whole humanity depends on them.
Why would we do anything to destroy that very thing that gives us life? " 

- Elin Kåven
