The river Deatnu (Tana) is quiet, as the states of Norway and Finland decided to completely ban fishing of Atlantic Salmon, due to the weak status of the salmon stocks. In North Sámi language the word bivdit has two meanings. It is the concrete action when you are trying to catch something, but bivdit also means to ask for, to request something from someone. The short film documents an Environmental Art Installation made by the Ellos Deatnu movement in the Summer of 2021. The film is also an audiovisual tribute to Deatnu watershed and it’s inhabitant, the Atlantic Salmon.
