My name is Helene Lindmark and I'm from the indigenous Sámi people. I´m mentoring the next generation of Sápmi community members and convening and speaking on behalf of my people all over the world. I'm a global Wisdomkeeper/ Wisdom mother, Grandmother who walks with my knowledge and is a channel, a voice for Mother Earth, my people, the land, for the ancestral wisdom that is stored in my lands. An old culture that has developed with a strong closeness and relationship to nature. An old tradition from the Roots, which partly has been protected and hidden in silence. I also have roots in the cultures of the northern parts of Sweden, Finland, and Russia.

I just finished the first part of the Global Leadership school for indigenous women through FIMI, and know gone do my advocacy focus "Green Shift" Self-determination health/ unhealth among Sámi communities.

I was born with the gift and in the middle of my life, I totally dedicated and committed myself to walk that walk and it is so important to spread and carried the knowledge. My ancestors are the ones who guide me and are there in my work, my body, my blood, the land, and the waters that come through my body. I carry it in my soul, body, and spirit. I connect deeply with Mother Earth, fire, and water. Through teaching, ceremonies, rituals, and sharing I carry it out.

My background;
I grew up in Liikavaara, a village south of Gällivare in the northern part of Sápmi. A village that is now it's taken and under destruction, the result of the exploitation of mining in The North Sapmi.
There began my journey, a journey in what I call beyond words with many visions, sensations, and messages. I had a rich inner world as a child, which I shared with nature. Growing up consisted of nature, many "wise old men" and many sayings and words of wisdom from the elderly. My origins in the wisdom, spiritual, shamanic, and healing come from both my mother and father. We have Sami ancestors on both sides, but also Russian and Finnish.
I searched outside myself in various courses, books, and meetings with people in healing, and spirituality. I was looking for answers!
In the late 1990s, I returned to my childhood home for a year of study. Everything I left; my gifts, my roots knocked inside me and the door began to open. During a stay with my dad "What are you looking for Helene? You are not 50 certificates, you are your roots. ” Then the pieces began to fall into place and a new journey began, which brought me to who I am today.
And I am a daughter, mother to 4 sons, and grandmother to 1 girl.
I have a background in service, care, the social sector, and a long time in psychiatric trauma care with investigation and treatment.

I'm a part of different organizations as a spokesperson for Mother Earth, wisdom keeper, and grandmother where I represent my indigenous Sámi people. Sámi NissonForum, Sámi Women´s Forum, Le Ciel (Holistic Vision program, I'm the elder representing North/ Sami and the fire),
Seeds organization ( Grand Mother and participating when the call comes in ceremonies prayers), Mother Earth Delegation ( Grand Mother participating in the public group with prayers, message from all the elements),
Water Law community ( working with protecting the waters), Cop26 ( Grand Mother carry out the message from Mother Earth), UN +50 Stockholm. ”Let us come together and unify, and unify with ourselves in our heart.
We are all gifted; all is inside us in our own unique temple. We are a child of Mother Earth. So let us walk, pray and go centered, solid together and be one voice for the world.”
