This year it is 20 years since Nils Aslak Valkeapää, Áillohaš passed away.
He was one of Sápmi's greatest multi-artists.
On November 26, 2001, he died, just 58 years old.
His life and work have given us a valuable cultural heritage, says the professor.
See the memorial report on Áillohaš which was broadcast in Ođđasat last week. Read more at NRK Sápmi.
