All instances of Harriet Nordlund yoiking have been removed per her request. Yoik is a type of traditional Sami chanting in which each yoik is meant to reflect a person or place. This does not mean that it is a song about the person or place, but that the yoiker is attempting to transfer "the essence" of that person or place into song - one yoiks their friend, not about their friend.
