Deh 2 contains traditional yoiks, Sami chants, from Deatnu (Tana or Teno). The Yoiker is 76 year old Ivvar Niillas. Other than a singer, he is a reindeer herder, salmon fisher, a hunter, and a peasant farmer. Yoik is the Sami, Laplandic way, of singing or chanting. There are yoiks for persons, animals, and landscapes. The musical modus of yoiks is totally different from what is known in Euro-American music. Some say that yoiks are the oldest musical tradition still alive in Europe.
