Sit down in front of the fire with me. I will joik (traditional sámi singing technique) the animals, mountains and people from Jåhkåmåhkke (Jokkmokk). Ask me questions about sámi culture and drink coffee and try some dried reindeer meat.
Location: Wästfeltsgatan 39, 962 33 Jokkmokk
I’m Juhán Niila Stålka, a Sámi joiker and storyteller based in Jokkmokk. I learnt to joik from my father, and many of the joiks I share have been passed down through my family for generations.
Through joik, stories and humour, I connect these traditions with contemporary Sámi life. Here in Jokkmokk, I welcome you to sit by the fire, listen and ask questions.

What does other guests say?
-
“Sometimes there can be a very little gap between sharing a tradition and pulling a show for tourists. Juhán came as our guest and I think he left like he was almost our friend. Thank you for your generosity, authenticity and courage.”
-Sara, Switzerland Living Wild 2020
-
“Even though I visited some museums about Sami culture and history. It is only through your picturefull and lively explanations and yoiking that your culture came to life. In a way a museum or book will never be able to. Thanks for sharing this insight into your life and culture.”
-Lars, Austria Living Wild 2020

“Juháns Niila’s joik brings the north alive with both the vibrancy of the past and the urgency of the present.”
