Norwegian and Sámi playwright and poet Rawdna Carita Eira visited Latvia in December 2019, to take part in the 4th conference of Latvian storytellers and participated at the Nordic Council of Ministers Christmas gathering. The audience with excitement listened to some Sámi songs and poems by Rawdna Carita Eira.
Eira published a bilingual book in 2011, Ruohta muzetbeallji ruohta/Løp svartøre løp (run blackear run), which was nominated for the Nordic Council Literature Prize in 2012. This is an interesting debut collection, which reflects the poet’s experiences of reindeer herding. In the prologue, the narrator, a young girl, brands the reindeer, Svartøre (Blackear), in the traditional manner by making an incision in the animal’s ear. The animal is subsequently released and encouraged to: ‘run blackear run’. Eira is also a playwright affiliated with the Sami National Theatre Beaivváš in Kautokeino. Her first play, Guohcanuori šuvva / Sangen fra Rotsundet (The Song of Rot Sound), premiered in 2011. She has also written lyrics for the popular Sami artist, Mari Boine.
