DESCRIPTION:In the northermost part of Europe has lived a Sea Sami populat
 ion for centuries. They had their own singing tradition (“yoik”) which
  doesn’t exist any more. For the major part of the coast there exists no
  documentation of these traditions.\n\nThrough interviews with old people 
 it was possible to document the last reminicents of this old tradition in 
 one particular fjord. The songs give glimpses of the life in this coastal 
 area.\n\nI will tell about this documentation project and present examples
  from the tradition. A harsh norwegianisation was the main reason why it d
 isappeared. I will look into how this happened and how the tradition was a
 ffected.
