Welcome! I'm Biennaš-Jon Jovnna Piera Helga aka Helga West. I'm a Saami theologian and writer from Deatnu river valley in Sápmi. In this blog, I write cultural essays in English, Finnish and Northern Saami. Indigenous issues are my passion. I work @Helsinki uni where I currently do 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 Saami theology and my plans that may concern you too
Mitäs me väsyneet saamelaiset, maailman tutkituin kansa
Rikas, rakas nelikielinen perhe(helvetti)arkeni!
Afrikan auringon alla… välkehtii ahavoitunut Bachelor Sápmi
Náittosearru, mu losses beaivegirji šattai diktačoakkáldagan
Sinulle saamelaispoika, joka hukkasit nutukkaasi Helsingin Hakaniemeen
Reformašuvnna ávvojahki ii movttiidahttán mu sámevara
