Påske i Kautokeino

What it's about: Oslo journalist Espen-André spends Easter with his old classmate Máret's family in Kautokeino to write a feature: reindeer racing on the river ice, a confirmation in gákti, and one question too many at the dinner table. He wants a joik on tape for his article, but Máret's father explains that you don't joik about someone, you joik someone, and on the last evening Espen-André gets one of his own.

Espen-André hadde skrevet ti spørsmål i notatboka før flyet landet i Alta. Spørsmål nummer én var: Bor dere fortsatt i telt om våren? Han leste det to ganger og kjente at han ble varm i ansiktet. Det var et spørsmål fra en gammel skolebok. Så strøk han det ut før han gikk av flyet.
