Bethany and Lauren Dahl, identical twin sisters, make up the singer-songwriter duo, “Fetus Friends.” Despite living in two different cities, Lauren in Grand Marais and Bethany in Northeast Minneapolis, the two continue to write and play music together whenever possible. Raised in a musical family, the sisters began singing together before they could talk. Writing music together allows them to explore intricate harmonies and to lyrically weave their lived experiences together. Audio production by Will Moore and video production by M Baxley. This feature is funded in part by the Minnesota Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund.

Nillá Omma's work in duodji began in his grandfather’s garage after long days of reindeer herding. He was hooked, and went on to study for two years at Sámij Åhpadusguovdásj, a Sámi school for traditional craft (duodji). He has been making duodji ever since, using mainly reindeer antler and birch to make knives, cups, boxes, jewelry and other traditional items. He sells his work in Sweden and internationally. 2024 is his first visit to North House Folk School.
Niilá Omma is a duojár, a traditional Sámi craftsman, from Skelefteå, Sweden.
