This Saami song is sung similar to that by Native American Indians. The Saami people inhabit the northern regions of Sweden, Norway, and Finland. My husband is of Saami descent.

Regarding this video: Notice the prominent Cross on his Saami folk costume that his mom sewed. He was adopted as a child, but identifies as Saami.

Lord Jesus Christ, have mercy on me a sinner.

This wouldn't happen to be Agnetha singing, would it?

I do not know. There is some secular singing going on.

One has to be careful of secular intrusions.

Lord Jesus Christ, have mercy on me a sinner.
