Unna Junná is a children's television program produced by Finnish public broadcaster Yle Sámi Radio several different Sámi languages. It was the first Sámi-language children's program on Finnish TV and it now airs in Northern, Inari, and Skolt Sámi languages.[1] Since 2007, Unna Junná has aired on Yle and SVT television channels in Finland and Sweden respectively.
Each year, Yle produces thirty 15-minute episodes, half of which air in the spring and half in the fall. The show is hosted by Sámi performers Sofia Jannok and Niillas Holmberg [fi] and features songs, stories, and pictures using both live action and animated segments. Unna Junná traditionally airs on Sunday mornings on Yle TV2 with reruns on Yle Teema & Fem and on-demand via the Yle Areena streaming service.
After years of advocacy and false starts, Yle added Unna Junná to its programming schedule in September 2007. The program was initially co-produced by Yle Sámi Radio and SVT-Sápmi, but since 2011 it has been produced solely by Yle after SVT decided to focus on its own Sámi children's programming.[2][3]
Unna Junná is credited with sparking an interest in Sámi languages among children, playing an important role in the revival of endangered Sámi languages.[4] In 2010, it won the main prize for children's programming at the Finno-Ugric Peoples' Film Festival in the Republic of Komi.[5]
