He offers insights into the importance of the Finnish language and cultural practices, such as the "Ritvalan Helka" festival, which celebrates young women and is rooted in deep traditions. The narrative also touches on the themes of community and the preservation of cultural identity through song and celebration, emphasizing how these practices have persisted through generations, despite external pressures to abandon them.
