Sámiid Ædnan was the Norwegian entry at the Eurovision Song Contest 1980 in The Hague performed by Sverre Kjelsberg and Mattis Hætta. It is sung as a joik, a folk song of the Sami people. It is also, as many have referenced, a sort of protest song against the building of a hydroelectric dam on Sami lands. It was performed 11th on the night following Finland and preceding Germany. At the close of voting, it finished in 16th place with 15 points.
