I absolutely adore this intelligent, warm, incredibly talented woman! She is amazing, and such an inspiration.
Mari has done so much for Sámi culture.
We will never die out.
Sámegiella, váibmogiella. Thank you, Mari.
❤️💚💛💙
be proud about your culture and don't let it die.
"Let the rage come out, and behind your rage you'll find your power, your strenght." Interesting. :)
Mari Boine is a beautiful reminder of our deep ancestral heritage... experiencing her in 2009 in Cape Town, together with our indigenous people, was a reminder of my own origens, that resonated deep within...
"I can see that the young people, {some of them} they are aware. They are Awake ... and that gives me Hope." 🙏🏽
Beautiful voice of Nature, a source of wisdom and joy.
What a beautiful interview. Don't know how it took so long before finding this. Your music fills my depth and l join you in song. Nova Scotia , Canada. THANK YOU
Just found this. I saw her many years ago at WOMAD in Morcambe, and that concert was a spiritual experience. Thank you for posting.
Love to hear you sing, Mari, and love to hear what you have said. It gives me hope.
I absolutely love this woman, her spirit, and ever soaring muse. This is a precious gift ❤️
A most interesting interviwew. By a happy chance, I came across one of the early CDs in the mid '90s - I loved the power of that Gula Gula album.
A fine artist, and a fine woman.
This makes me both sad and happy.
Around the world, ethnic and religious majorities are oppressing minorities and disparaging minority cultures but the world would be a much poorer place without cultural diversity. There has been so much lost, already. 😥Why does it have to be a competion? Why can't we share what we have? I have a different ethnic background, live on a different continent but I very much enjoy listening to Sámi songs and music and curious about Sámi culture, just like I'm curious about other cultures, languages and music and I feel enriched if I learn something about them. I also like to talk about my own background if others are interested and they ask me.
It's so comforting to see that people like Mari dedicate their lives to make sure traditions and aspects of their culture are kept alive. Not just as something historical but living and relevant to our lives, today. 🙂
A wonderful and very interesting interview !! Many thanks, Mari !
Ollu giitu Mari. Don leat okta inspirašuvdna

dude, this is cool🙂🙂🙂🙂
I grew up laestadian lutheran... after finding out my ancestors were sami, I started researching what happened and it turns out, many of the sami were converted to this religion(which one of the "sins" is playing drums).. It broke my heart.
Sami culture and traditions are completely foreign to all of the people in that church and they are ok with it because any sami tradition has been purposely forgotten.. and they want it to stay that way.
Growing up as a catholic in the countryside on a farm in the Swiss French (middle) mountains, I never opposed religion with nature. In fact as a kid in the early 80’s we had numerous traditions of blessings by the priest before the crops etc. that blended with people working the land and the environment. In link with nature, not against her (it). There was a sense and a harmony. It was not nature worship per se, nor was it the exploitation of it per se. Rather it’s the liberal profit oriented society that I saw clearly as a threat growing up, as well as the anonymous society we are within now, cut from the deep cultural roots. I was very sensitive to environmental issues, and now I see permaculture (integrated ecosystem) as a very exciting and clever way to address all the current challenges. And that’s also part of my religious convictions. Maybe the Latin culture (and its religious traditions) is different with that of Scandinavia, Lutheran, more strict? I don’t know, could be. Also we have numerous saints and legends telling of how many women or men saints were “talking” with animals, specially wild animals like bears, pigs etc. which were immediately tamed and quiet in the contact of the saint. Francis of Assisi being one of the most famous examples. It is pity not to apprehend the rich Christian (for me) catholic traditions and worldview in a more positive way, as we are turning into a minority in today’s society. In fact the Christians (as I understand it) values and those of native people are closer than what is presented in the media.
When I lived for a time in the Amazon in the 1960s I saw missionaries doing everything they could to sunder indigenous peoples from their culture and from nature (as well as spreading venereal diseases everywhere they went). As representatives of a "conservative profit oriented society", they also assisted oil companies in removing native people from their lands. I was only a kid at the time, but what I observed turned me off to Christianity for life, and gave me a deep sympathy towards what often defenseless indigenous peoples around the world have had to deal with from religious bigots.
we are all dead, may nature on this earth survives then.
I have Northern/Eastern European roots and have been dealing with this topic since I was 12 years old. As a young person, I could never do anything with Christianity...it was always foreign to me...souls...foreign. Christianization has traumatized a lot of people. My grandparents went to a Catholic school. They experienced a lot of cruelty and suffered until death with these memories.
I left the church at the age of 14 and am following the path of my ancestors and firmly believe in natural gods/spirits. Above all, Mother Nature is the creation of all life and not a 2000-year-old man-made god who will send you to hell if you don't believe in him.
You can't manipulate me with this monotheistic belief. I spent years trying to understand the story.
I wish every person in the world to find their ancestors/roots.

Before anyone decides to bitch about how bad Christians are for supressing traditional cultures, consider the fact that secular governments (in particular that of the former Soviet Union) have done much worse, and that the way in which the New Age types commercialize and sentimentalize the cultures of indigenous people is even more degrading and destructive than anything even the Soviets did. Each of us should examine the traditions of our ancestors (whoever they were) and learn how to apply them in the modern world, rather than aping those of other cultures or trying to reinvent stuff to replace what we think we've lost!
