The word for ”šaman” in Northern Sámi is ”noaidi”, in finnish its ”noita” (nowaday meaning ”witch” due to christianization/demonisation) and in the khanty/mansi languages in Siberia, its ”nait”, also the real name for a drum is ”goavddis/gobdis” which in finnish was ”kandus” (nowadays, theres a word called ”kannustaa” meaning ”to encourage/cheer/root/incite/urge/stimulate etc.” that comes from the šamans drum), also interesting that the word ”šaman” comes from the tungusic languages meaning ”one who knows”, and the etymology of the word is the verb ”ša-” which means ”to know”, in sámi languages ”sáh-” and in finnic languages ”(o)sa-” mean ”to know/to be capable”, very similar

The drum reminds a lot to the golden compass of His Dark Materials. Animals are also around the object and both are made to the predict the future or know the truth
Between the short Sami documentary video I watched earlier (forest Sami kept stored items in structures in trees and the trees she pointed out were in a group of four, like the storage had tree legs) and this, I kinda wonder if the whole Baba Yaga myth was really to keep Slavic kids away from Sami.
