Yeah, my thoughts as well. Wow – who is she?! She sounds a bit Near Eastern …..? What is she doing in Shamanic circles?

But then when I watched this (where @ 4:54 she sings in French!):

She must be a blooming Berber!

You see Saami female DNA lines are related to Berbers.

Intriguingly, the Saami of Scandinavia and the Berbers of North Africa were found to share an extremely young branch, aged merely ∼9,000 years. This unexpected finding not only confirms that the Franco-Cantabrian refuge area of southwestern Europe was the source of late-glacial expansions of hunter-gatherers that repopulated northern Europe after the Last Glacial Maximum but also reveals a direct maternal link between those European hunter-gatherer populations and the Berbers.

Most of my female cousins are U5, & most of them with the “Saami motif” U5b1 and many of those are shared with Berbers as well (U5b1b1).

Sooooo I guess, the Saami wanted to invite a deep ancestry relative to the party.

Well, Berber or not - she is amazing!

Edit:
Downloaded new dna-relatives data & had a look and no.
I have twice as many H mtdna variants than U5 variants.
Those 2 are the biggest groups but.
