Great fun!\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"has-drop-cap\">The second week in July is time for Riddu Ri\u0111\u0111u again.  Riddu is making the most of the opportunity to promote the Sami language, which is a central part of the festival. There is always a huge variety of great music from all over the Sami region and from the furthest corners of the globe; there is theatre, art, seminars and of course Riddu Siida, a social hub within the festival area. Add to this a large dose of party atmosphere, fun and the chance to get together with fellow music lovers!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Northern people of the year<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>True to tradition, Riddu Ri\u0111\u0111u dedicates special attention to a people from the northern regions. In 2019, this was the Inuit&nbsp;from Nunavut on Greenland. Concerts, films, courses and seminars presented the culture and history of the Inuit peoples. <\/p>\n\n\n\t<div class=\"wp-block-vnn-gallery gallery-count-4\">\n\t\t<ul><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\">\t\t\t\t<figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/593483578-scaled.jpg\" data-size=\"2560x1707\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"block-gallery-count\">01<\/span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/593483578-2048x1365.jpg\" alt=\"Enjoying the sights and sounds \u00a9 Marius Fiskum\/marius@fiskum.org\/tlf: 915 77 502\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/593483578-scaled.jpg\" data-caption=\"Enjoying the sights and sounds \u00a9 Marius Fiskum\/marius@fiskum.org\/tlf: 915 77 502\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t<\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\">\t\t\t\t<figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/1bc16a0a0a4f303ed8400e6d5f1779ff.jpg\" data-size=\"850x1200\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"block-gallery-count\">02<\/span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/1bc16a0a0a4f303ed8400e6d5f1779ff-768x1084.jpg\" alt=\"Buffy Sainte Marie, Canada \u00a9 Annie Leibovitz\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/1bc16a0a0a4f303ed8400e6d5f1779ff.jpg\" data-caption=\"Buffy Sainte Marie, Canada \u00a9 Annie Leibovitz\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t<\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\">\t\t\t\t<figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/007103_Magnus-Str-m_www.nordnorge.com_-scaled.jpg\" data-size=\"1707x2560\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"block-gallery-count\">03<\/span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/007103_Magnus-Str-m_www.nordnorge.com_-768x1152.jpg\" alt=\"Sami lassoing \u00a9 Magnus-Str-m\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/007103_Magnus-Str-m_www.nordnorge.com_-scaled.jpg\" data-caption=\"Sami lassoing \u00a9 Magnus-Str-m\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t<\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\">\t\t\t\t<figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/d785f9910301a68576f39da803d28590.jpg\" data-size=\"881x1200\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"block-gallery-count\">04<\/span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/d785f9910301a68576f39da803d28590-768x1046.jpg\" alt=\"Elin K\u00e5ven.

Over the years, New Zealand, Algeria, Greenland, Australia, Papua New Guinea, Japan and numerous artists from Russia, Canada and the United States have been present. They all represent ethnic minorities that fight for the survival of their cultures and languages.  The sense of community between first nations across the world is strong, and this is a good chance for indigenous peoples to support each other. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Musical highlights from S\u00e1pmi<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Riddu Ri\u0111\u0111u always treats us to plenty of highlights from the musical scene in the Sami region. Elin K\u00e5ven from Karasjok sings from the album she released this winter. Violet Road is a rock band from K\u00e5fjord which has several radio hits behind it. Lovisa Negga gives us her very first song in the Lule Sami language. Ailu Valle from Utsjok in Finland raps in Sami. The popular Kautokeino group San\u010duari sings melodious Joik rock.<\/p>\n\n\n\t<div class=\"wp-block-vnn-gallery gallery-count-2\">\n\t\t<ul><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\">\t\t\t\t<figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/234d2e0736ea9edefc7cb511f284bc98.jpg\" data-size=\"1023x681\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"block-gallery-count\">01<\/span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/234d2e0736ea9edefc7cb511f284bc98.jpg\" alt=\"Spiritual atmosphere \u00a9 \u00d8rjan Bertelsen\/Riddu\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/234d2e0736ea9edefc7cb511f284bc98.jpg\" data-caption=\"Spiritual atmosphere \u00a9 \u00d8rjan Bertelsen\/Riddu\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t<\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\">\t\t\t\t<figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/945162184-1-scaled.jpg\" data-size=\"2560x1707\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"block-gallery-count\">02<\/span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/945162184-1-768x512.jpg\" alt=\"\u00a9 Marius Fiskum\/marius@fiskum.org\/tlf: 915 77 502\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/945162184-1-scaled.jpg\" data-caption=\"\u00a9 Marius Fiskum\/marius@fiskum.org\/tlf: 915 77 502\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t<\/li><\/ul><div class=\"vnn-gallery-figcaptions\"><figcaption>01: Spiritual atmosphere \u00a9 \u00d8rjan Bertelsen\/Riddu<\/figcaption><figcaption>02: \u00a9 Marius Fiskum\/marius@fiskum.org\/tlf: 915 77 502<\/figcaption><\/div>\t<\/div>\n\t\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Riddu Siida is where we meet<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Riddu Ri\u0111\u0111u&#8217;s place to hang is Riddu Siida. This is a mingling area, where there is always something going on. A turf hut, a yurt, a tjum and several lavvo tents, all traditional indigenous dwellings, provide a venue for courses, cultural events, spontaneous concerts and a chance to taste traditional and innovative cuisines<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Stage, gallery, seminars, literature<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s not all about music. Beaivv\u00e1\u0161 S\u00e1mi Na\u0161un\u00e1late\u00e1hter, the Sami national theatre, is a frequent guest showing theatre in Sami language, and free theatre groups, stand-up comedians and other drama expressions are part of the festival. There is also a seminar programme where various topics concerning indigenous peoples are discussed. Riddu also has an art programme, with new artists within painting and sculpture exhibiting every year. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tent life<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There aren&#8217;t many hotel rooms in Manndalen, which means that most of the audience has to sleep in tents in the festival fields \u2013 but most people enjoy this! It doesn&#8217;t get dark, so it&#8217;s a great chance to stay up into the small hours around the camp fire in a lavvo. A rain shower is always a possibility, but the sheltered position of Manndalen behind the Lyngen Alps gives it a generally dry climate.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group alignwide is-style-faq\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\"><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\n\t\t\t\tMore Riddu info\n\t\t\t<\/h3><div class=\"t2-accordion wp-block-t2-accordion\" data-allow-multiple=\"1\" role=\"list\"><div class=\"t2-accordion-item wp-block-t2-accordion-item\" role=\"listitem\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"t2-accordion-title\">\n\t\t\t\t<button type=\"button\" class=\"t2-accordion-trigger\" id=\"what&#039;s-on-for-this-year&#039;s-festival?\" aria-controls=\"accordion-panel\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n\t\t\t\t\tWhat&#039;s on for this year&#039;s festival?\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"t2-accordion-icon is-closed-icon\"><svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" height=\"24\" width=\"24\" class=\"t2-icon t2-icon-chevrondown\" aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\"><path d=\"M12 14.9c-.1 0-.3 0-.4-.1-.1 0-.2-.1-.3-.2L6.7 10c-.2-.1-.3-.4-.3-.6 0-.3.1-.5.3-.7.2-.2.4-.3.7-.3s.5.1.7.3l3.9 3.9 3.9-3.9c.2-.2.4-.3.7-.3.3 0 .5.1.7.3.2.2.3.4.3.7s-.1.5-.3.7l-4.6 4.6c-.1.1-.2.2-.3.2H12z\" fill=\"currentColor\" \/><\/svg><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"t2-accordion-icon is-open-icon\"><svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" height=\"24\" width=\"24\" class=\"t2-icon t2-icon-chevronup\" aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\"><path d=\"M6.7 14.7c-.2-.2-.3-.4-.3-.7s.1-.5.3-.7l4.6-4.6c.1-.1.2-.2.3-.2.1 0 .2-.1.4-.1.1 0 .3 0 .4.1.1 0 .2.1.3.2l4.6 4.6c.2.2.3.4.3.7s-.1.5-.3.7c-.2.2-.4.3-.7.3s-.5-.1-.7-.3L12 10.8l-3.9 3.9c-.2.2-.4.3-.7.3s-.5-.1-.7-.3z\" fill=\"currentColor\" \/><\/svg><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<\/button>\n\t\t\t<\/h2>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"t2-accordion-item__inner-container is-layout-flow\" id=\"accordion-panel\" aria-labelledby=\"what&#039;s-on-for-this-year&#039;s-festival?\" role=\"region\" hidden>\n\t\t\t\t<p class=\"\">\n\t\t\t\tHave a look at the Riddu website, it&#8217;s being added to all the time. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div><div class=\"t2-accordion-item wp-block-t2-accordion-item\" role=\"listitem\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"t2-accordion-title\">\n\t\t\t\t<button type=\"button\" class=\"t2-accordion-trigger\" id=\"what-else-is-to-see-in-the-area?\" aria-controls=\"accordion-panel-1\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n\t\t\t\t\tWhat else is to see in the area?\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"t2-accordion-icon is-closed-icon\"><svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" height=\"24\" width=\"24\" class=\"t2-icon t2-icon-chevrondown\" aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\"><path d=\"M12 14.9c-.1 0-.3 0-.4-.1-.1 0-.2-.1-.3-.2L6.7 10c-.2-.1-.3-.4-.3-.6 0-.3.1-.5.3-.7.2-.2.4-.3.7-.3s.5.1.7.3l3.9 3.9 3.9-3.9c.2-.2.4-.3.7-.3.3 0 .5.1.7.3.2.2.3.4.3.7s-.1.5-.3.7l-4.6 4.6c-.1.1-.2.2-.3.2H12z\" fill=\"currentColor\" \/><\/svg><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"t2-accordion-icon is-open-icon\"><svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" height=\"24\" width=\"24\" class=\"t2-icon t2-icon-chevronup\" aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\"><path d=\"M6.7 14.7c-.2-.2-.3-.4-.3-.7s.1-.5.3-.7l4.6-4.6c.1-.1.2-.2.3-.2.1 0 .2-.1.4-.1.1 0 .3 0 .4.1.1 0 .2.1.3.2l4.6 4.6c.2.2.3.4.3.7s-.1.5-.3.7c-.2.2-.4.3-.7.3s-.5-.1-.7-.3L12 10.8l-3.9 3.9c-.2.2-.4.3-.7.3s-.5-.1-.7-.3z\" fill=\"currentColor\" \/><\/svg><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<\/button>\n\t\t\t<\/h2>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"t2-accordion-item__inner-container is-layout-flow\" id=\"accordion-panel-1\" aria-labelledby=\"what-else-is-to-see-in-the-area?\" role=\"region\" hidden>\n\t\t\t\t<p class=\"\">\n\t\t\t\tThe local tourist board, Visit Lyngen, has plenty of info on their website. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">After the festival<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Manndalen is a rural area which is famous for its buckets and pails, so it&#8217;s worth spending a little time here.

The &#8216;grene&#8217; are large woven wool rugs and blankets that have a tradition going back thousands of years. &#8216;Bonkos&#8217; mittens are so warm that they are used by explorers travelling to the North Pole! The &#8216;Sjith\u00e6lvetesk\u00e5ken&#8217; is a simple house that was rebuilt after the war from salvaged planks. When the government wanted the owner to pay for the materials, he angrily told them that they could just come and take his miserable shack.
