When it Cracks

This song is about my grandfather. He had to leave his family at the age of 7 to go to a Norwegian boarding school where the use of his mother tongue was prohibited. It is the story of his struggle, living in the period of the harsh assimilation policy of the Norwegian government and how he succeeded  in going to Kristiania attending a teacher's college and later becoming headmaster at a Norwegian school. All this time he was not allowed to speak his mother tongue . In my family it took only one generation to silence the Sami language.
