Baahdy & Birdy - now also in Sami!

Baahdy & Birdy have attended a language cours and learned Sami. Specifically, Northern Sami. Now they are super eager to guide Sami-speaking children and families around Sápmi within history, present, culture, nature and much more.

With the support of the Sami Parliament and Nordland County Council, a Sami language choice in the Baahdy & Birdy app has become possible. Baahdy & Birdy has now engaged Elle Márjá Eira and Morten Hyld Pettersen to do both translation dubbing and recording for us. Eira is a musician, joiker, composer, filmmaker, producer and has been the program director on Mánaid-TV, NRK Supers children's broadcasts in Sami. She also previously helped Baahdy & Birdy with Sami translation when the film Baahdy & Birdy - Flask post from space was made. Morten Pettersen is a musician and producer and has experience in both music and film production. Pettersen has been part of the Sami dubbing process for the Disney movie Frozen.

Already during the summer, translations and recording will take place. And early this fall, kids and families can experience some of the places already in the app, and some brand new places, in Sami. We look forward!
