Marja has been a student at Nord University, where she has been able to study old recordings of traditional yoiks, she has successfully taught herself the South and Ume Saami yoiking tradition. Her songs are centred around different aspects of her indigenous Saami identity, e.g. the closeness and importance of the environment, as well as both her love for reindeer husbandry and her commitment to the protection and revitalisation of the South Saami language. In her own words: I strongly believe that we, as humans, can express our thoughts, emotions, and different lifestyles, far better if we are allowed to do so through the medium of our native languages.
