Bev,

My good friend in N.D. just did a wonderful article on the Saami about a sort
of singing that they do. It's sacred and a dying art, you might know what I'm
talking about, I can't remember what it's called. But I'll ask her to send it
to me again if you're interested in reading it.


That's interesting. Is it related to the throat singing of the Tuvans, do you know? I hosted a Tuvan group, Huun-Huur-Tu, once when they came here to perform, what a great time we had. And although I know a Saami couple, they've never mentioned song or singing, but since what we've usually done together is winter camping/snowshoeing, that's not surprising, I guess. Probably too far away to be related, though, now that I mull over the distance between Tuva and basically the west coast....
