Angelin Tytöt "Giddat"

[MeighFalk]

I am half Irish and Half Sami. I am not Chrisitan and I am proud of our old "heathen" beliefs.

[lilaufobanan]

The guy at 2.29 is the coolest person in this video.

[OswaldvonWolkenstein]

@lilaufobanan Isn't that comic book guy from the Simpsons?

[ladoga]

@dakotagerman

Atleast the Saami believed in the actual forces of the nature and formed stories which helped them to understand the world around them. Christianity is a religion from the Middle East and has very little to do with traditions and nature of the North. Its an import product and brought by foreign empires (atleast in Finland and Sapmi) with force and violence.

Why should we believe in a zombie guy risen from dead, who is god and son and does miracles to prove himself? Nonsense.

[Satakunta]

Kylla vaan mie pidetaan hyvana. Sanokoo saatanan tyoksi ne jotka rohkenee, mutta on taa niin kaunista. On tassa niin paljo puhtautta...

[kakha1974]

One Jarvela was here! Great,

[timothycharron]

I know a Christian Sami indian. It's not about religion it's about culture.

[LindseyGrace55]

@timothycharron

Sami indian? Do Sami count as indians?

[suomiHutsinda]

@LindseyGrace55 Not really. Sami are the indigenous people of Sápmi and Indians are the native people of Northern America. They don't share the same genotype, so the Sami people can't be counted as Indians.

These are Santa Claus people

[tuomaankuoma1]

Jos joku on komiampaa ko tämä! Killa vain mie tykkään.

[SuperZOLYA]

Oh fucking well, haven´t you ever heard of original people (like indians or aboriginals????) These are the original people of Norway, Sweden and Finland! We didn´t kill them, just pushed them upper north!!!! They are called the sáme-people, they have their own language, laws (Norway-Sweden-Finland), their language is teached at the schools where there are groups big enough to get a teacher and their singing is called yoik! And it´s nothing to do with Alp Joglese! Best wishes! Scandinavia

[tuomaankuoma1]

[randyman228]

[munciesORIGINAL]

[k0vert]

[Missouramule]

Outstanding, Kantelar -- thank you!



[LavittoriadiLuka]

That was so inspirational. WOW! ahhh I must learn moooore!!!

[trondergirl]

Great yoiking from young Finnish Saami sisters.

[k0vert]

if someone could provide a fairly accurate English translation of this, please reply to me. Because I am absolutely in love with the song.

[UncleChevitz]

@k0vert if i remember correctly this type of singing involves a lot of vocalizations, essentially 'la di da' , sounds that are not words, there is probably some lyrics too, but i don't understand Sami.

[k0vert]

@UncleChevitz well thanks anyway. Cheers!

[k0vert]

the similarities between this and native american music blows my mind.

[jtbo]

Commissioners treated everything that they did not understand 'evil', Christianity consisted then more than just belief to one God, also ways, values, even how one should look. It is only fairly recently that this squash what you don't understand mentality has started to release it's grip. There are many type of forcing, some methods can be described best as cheating, luckily it is much better nowdays.

I visited Angeli few years ago, I have liked this music from the 90's, nice to hear it again.

[stoffni]

Kinda fun that shamanism is evil when it comes to christianity. If I'm not mistaken.. Didn't christianity burn women cuz they were deemed witches?

Didn't christianity do the so called Crusade? Which they actually did several times.

Shamanism being heathenism and evil? My bad but I just can't see how someone who beliefs in a religion who has taken ALOT ALOT more lifes has the stomache to say such thing. Your just a brainwashed little lamb.

[CannabbeanPirate]

The nature-people of earth were put here all over the globe to protect and look after the growing earth, they have the same intention and look in the same direction. That´s why there are so many similarities between natives world wide.

[niamtxiv]

@CannabbeanPirate

That's true. Earth's people were put in this world, but sadly..... the ways of mother and father have been forgotten.

[osoobel]

Where thry singing? What the plane bhind her? P51"Mustang"???

[youngambitions]

They're hot!  I likey

[HahaJubJub92]

can i get what he is saying in english?? lol ive always wanted to know what they are saying, ive heard they are singing about a person or a thing using only verbs or nouns or something like that

[LugarSivi]

Just Beautiful.

[WomenFrameDrumming]

So beautiful and strong the voices and song... we have added this to a couple playlists and favorited it! Thank you!!

[lillamandas]

This is so beautiful! I am of Finnish ancestry and I wonder if my roots are of Sami. I love this!

[ArmaFennica]

@lillamandas

If you are kinda short of stature, have dark hair, are positive and down to earth person and have excellent durability.. then it's likely.

Finnish and Saami-kins are a bit different, so it's good to see from which kinship you are from.

[acerb45666555]

the two on the right really look like native from Canada! they could walk onto Khanawake and no one would know they werent Mohawks!

[stinksenitia2]

Excellent!!!

[kloiten]

How could this be considered a sin? Stupid missionaries who thought their culture was greater than others'.

Five stars.

And lol at the cameraman moving around next to the girl on the far right XD

[dakotagerman1]

@kloiten

I am German (Dinaric Nordic) I am also Sami (from Sweden). I am a Christian but I detest how some of the Calvinist fundagelicals condemn the joik.

At least the Samis were monotheists worshiping the Great Spirit while the Nordics were worshiping the Aesir (Odin, Thor, etc.). Who are the real heathen? The apple doesn't fall from the tree.

Nevertheless, forgive the Baptist louts for they know not what they talk about.

[sturlamolden]

@dakotagerman1 Sámis were anything but monotheistics. The old Sámi mythology, a form of shamanism, was replaced by Christanity between 1750 and 1900.

[dakotagerman1]

@sturlamolden

Of course Samis were monotheistic. When the Nordics were worshiping Odin and Thor, Sami were worshiping what is equivalent to the Great Spirit worshiped by the Native Americans.

That's HOGWASH!--this bit about the Sami being polytheistic. That spin just gives the enemies of the Sami people credence for calling them "heathens".

[sturlamolden]

@dakotagerman1 No, the sámi mythology contained multiple Gods, though one, Radienattje or Ipmila, stood above them all. Sámis would worship gods and godesses like Bieive (sun), Bieggaalmmái (wind), Dierpmis (thunder), Čáhcealmmái (water), Juksáhkká (birth), Sáhráhkká (protected the home), Uhksáhkká (protected against evil), Máhtáráhkká (primal mother), Leaibealmmái (forest), Rohttu (death), Guolleipmil (fishing), Boaššuáhkká (hunting).

[dakotagerman1]

@sturlamolden

That's some of the Sami people (who also backslide into practicing magic and some of the other superstitions. But, if we go back far enough, the Samis worshiped just the One.

Moreover, some Samis have been ardent Bible-based faith people. Even it was a Sami in the Lutheran Church in Sweden who led the way for pietism in the expression of church life.

I am a Sami and am a Christian. I refuse the heathenism of shamanism with all the witchcraft.

[sturlamolden]

@dakotagerman1 Also, one figure from sámi mythology has made it into popular culture. A monster called Ruohttagallis or Juovlastallu travels around on his sled in the middle of the winter. He carries a large bag, which he uses to trap children. He can also come down the chimmney and bite your head off. Sámis who emigrated to Alaska brought with them the legend of Rotagallis, which became the 'model' for the American Santa Claus. The sack used to catch children for food now containes presents.

[dakotagerman1]

@sturlamolden

But, see, when we come to Christ, all things become new. We leave off the silly superstitions like that and count them loss so we may gain Christ.

The pietistic Lutheran (and other faiths) Samis would never endorse such nonsense. That doesn't mean they don't sing the joik and herd their reindeer.

[sturlamolden]

@dakotagerman1 The laestadianism is the most pietistic Lutherian movement there is, and it originates in northern Lapland. Laestadius himself was of sámi kin.

[dakotagerman1]

@sturlamolden

Now you're cooking with gas! Talk to me about things like this.

My great-great grandmother was one his early followers. She was a full-blood Sami and she was a devout pietistic Lutheran. She left a legacy of faith that passed on to my generation.

How I love these Sami people of faith and spirituality (starting with Lastadius) seeking the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

[sturlamolden]

@dakotagerman1 Laestadius allowed religious ecstacy, and preached that the body was the temple of Chris. This was familiar to a people that had been practicing pagan religion just a generation ago, where a tranced shaman contacted underworld and his magic was pivot. Also Laestadius also banned consumption of liquor, as alcoholism was devastating the Sámi region. You might want to read on Wikipedia about the Sami revolt in Guovdageaidnu. For the same reason, joiks were regarded of the Devil.

[dakotagerman1]

@sturlamolden

My great-grannie (who was partly Sami) would have considered the joik as sung to the spirits of the Devil. She would have considered that savage, as did many Samis in her day who pietistic Lutherans.

No one was forcing them. They chose this as a preference to please the Lord. I don't think it has to do with shamans and trances whatever expressions of faith amongst Samis. They left off magic and superstitions and walked by faith in Christ.

[dhx84]

@dakotagerman1

You're absurd.

[dakotagerman1]

@dhx84

Jesus would be called "absurd". So would the apostles and martyrs for the testimony of their faith.

Guess I'm in good company, then.

[sturlamolden]

@dakotagerman1 Except for the shaman, there is no conenction to the rituals of Native Americans. There are similar connections to Norse mythology: The norse völva was a female shaman; also the norse word for shamanism (seid) is the sámi word for place of sacrifice. There are connections to the mythology of ancient Finland as well, it is depicted in Kalevala (the poem that inspired Tolkien to write Lord of the Rings).

[dakotagerman1]

@sturlamolden

Why do you keep hashing and re-hashing all that bally-hoo? i don't even like reading "The Lion, the Witch, and The Wardrobe" (because of its pagan connotations). I'm even careful of what I read in "A Wrinkle in Time' or what is presented in "Star Trek" or "Star Wars".

One may be better off with something like "Star Trek: The Motion Picture" or "2001: A Space Odyssey" than "Lord of The rings" drivel. How does that foolishness and madness lead to Christ?

[stoffni]

@dakotagerman1 than "Lord of The rings" drivel. How does that foolishness and madness lead to Christ?

It's fiction xD It's suppose to entertain you. Christ aint a comedian or alike. So he won't make you laugh now will he lol. It's fiction just like the book that you keep so dearly. Bible.

Please do prove me wrong if you want.

kkthxbai

[ksol1460tv]

@dakotagerman1 - I realise this is an older comment, but both "Narnia" and "Lord of the Rings" are not pagan but deeply Christian works. Lewis believed in allegory to introduce children to the idea of Christ's sacrifice; Tolkien believed in keeping the message very subtle throughout the work, as this was supposed to take place long before Jesus' time.

[sturlamolden]

@kloiten The joik served a sentral role in the old Sámi religion, e.g. to help the shaman priest enter trance. As the Sámi religion was considered devil worship by Christian missionaries, joiks were until 1970s regarded a religious tabu, only kept alive by drunkards and heretics. Sámi culture, language and religion in particular, has been subject to massive suppression in Scandinavia. E.g. before the summer of 2001, Norway denied the majority of Sámi children native language education.

[SoulBeat123]

@sturlamolden Thanks for that info ... very informative.

[lightsight]

Yes pure and beautiful <3

[karpov89]

Nice video! When was it recorded?

[kantelar]

[dss103]

@kantelar Wow, 1990 was the year I was born. That in itself makes this video nostalgic for me...Now when I think of when I was born in the hospital, I picture myself coming out to this music lol!

[HaldirOfLorien]

That was beautiful:)
