Description

Explore the profound connections between music and identity in the Arctic through Why Sami Sing: Knowing through Melodies in Northern Norway. Part of the Arctic Worlds series, this anthropological study examines the unique singing practices of the Indigenous Sami people living in Europe's northernmost regions. This book investigates how the performance of melodies, whether with or without lyrics, serves as a method for altering perception and engaging with both human and non-human presences. It looks at how these musical expressions allow practitioners to connect with the past and the environment around them. According to the people who practice it, the Sami yoik is not just a collection of songs created by humans. Instead, it is viewed as a vocal power received from the natural world, a skill that reveals its depth through dedicated practice and lived experience. This work provides a deep look into how melody functions as a way of knowing and relating to the world.
