I say

A music video consisting of two songs by Hildá Länsman & Tuomas Norvios, “Gulan” and “Dajan,” Dajan — I Say mirrors artist and yoiker Länsman’s personal journey in finding her way back home to Sápmi, and discovering the strength to say no to things she does not want for herself. Produced in the border areas on the Finnish and Norwegian side of Sápmi, around Länsman’s home village Ohcejohka, the film’s title comes from the northern Saami word “Dajan,” which directly translates to “I say.” The song invites you to move freely in the world to the beat of your own decisions.
