Sámi Storytelling
and Joiking
AROUND THE FIRE IN JOKKMOKK
Take a seat on a reindeer skin by the fire. I share joiks and stories from the area around Jokkmokk while the coffee brews. There is time for questions, conversation and a taste of dried reindeer meat.
Meet Juhán Niila
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 and personal stories, I share the traditions I grew up with and my own perspective on Sámi life today.
