Fortunately, she later embraced her heritage and began combining her joiking with other Western styles like pop, jazz, and rock. She has become extremely popular among the Sami as well as loved by audiences around the world. I...2022-03-1100 min

Like most indigenous peoples’ they have been victims of racism, colonialism, and cultural repression by exploitive states. Gabriel’s new book looks at their history and tells first hand accounts of th...2020-04-091h 14
