Welcome! I'm Biennaš-Jon Jovnna Piera Helga aka Helga West. I'm an Indigenous Sámi theologian and writer from Deatnu river valley in Sápmi. In this blog, I write cultural essays in English, Finnish and my Native language Northern Sámi. In short, Indigenous affairs are my passion. I work @Helsinki uni where I'm doing my PhD that examines topical Sámi issues connected to reconciliation. I'm a slow thinker and absolutely fanatic about recycling, which drives people around me simply crazy.

How I became theologian and how I almost didn’t: About Sámi theology and the need to reconcile
Mitäs me väsyneet saamelaiset, maailman tutkituin kansa
Náittosearru, mu losses beaivegirji šattai diktačoakkáldagan
Sinulle saamelaispoika, joka hukkasit nutukkaasi Helsingin Hakaniemeen
Reformašuvnna ávvojahki ii movttiidahttán mu sámevara
