Niina Niskanen is a Finnish artist, writer and a folklorist who specialises in Finnish, Baltic and Sámi Mythology. She is an online educator and hosted “Heart of Mielikki,” one of the first online courses about Finnish mythology for non-Finnish speaking audiences. Niina is also an artist with a BA in illustration. Her work has been displayed in numerous art exhibitions in Finland and abroad. Niina is the author of the book "Mythology of The Sámi, Stories from the North" and she has Sámi ancestry from the Lapland of Sweden and Finland. 

In this episode, we chat about Sámi myths, a beautiful legend about the northern lights, and some similarities between Finnish and Sámi mythology.
