[10h] Name this group whose poetry includes The Sun, My Father and chanted tales called joiks (“yoiks”). Snowflakes was the first poetry collection published in a language of these people.
ANSWER: Sámi [or Saami or Sápmi; accept Lapps or Laplanders but inform players it is considered offensive] (The Sun, My Father is by Nils-Aslak Valkeapää. Snowflakes is by Pedar Jalvi.)
[10e] Linnea Axelsson’s Sámi epic Ædnan draws on these Norse prose stories of journeys and family feuds, which were primarily composed in Iceland. Examples of these texts are named for Njáll and Egill.
ANSWER: sagas [accept Njál’s Saga or Egil’s Saga]
[10m] Sámi joiks constitute the oldest Scandinavian poetry along with this sort of verse preserved on the Karlevi Runestone. Lausavísa stanzas are recited by the court poets who name this type of poetry, which contrasts with Eddic poetry.
ANSWER: skaldic poetry [or skaldic verse; accept poetry by skalds]
