Nils Jernsletten (14 September 1934; Tana, Norway – 20 May 2012)[1] was a professor of Sámi at University of Tromsø,[2] and editor of Sámi newspaper Ságat (1964-1966.) In 2005, he was made a Commander of the Royal Norwegian Order of St Olav was conferred upon him.[1] His article, Joik and Communication, published in 1977, argues that joiking is a form of communication that is best understood as representing a particular milieu, which cannot be adequately communicated through recording or when performed on stage. This criticism, along with commercial factors, partially led to the end of the joik renaissance of the 1970s in Sami-populated areas in Scandinavia. [3]
