Arrangementsbeskrivelse
Klemetspelet is a large outdoor performance that has so far been arranged every other year. The performance is about the Sami Klemet Person who around the turn of the last century lived with his family at the top of Leirskardalen, under Klemethelleren – not far from Rabothytta by Okstindan. Klemet was a man who both fascinated and frightened. The performance gives a picture of a time and a society that is distant, but also with characteristics of our time. Klemetspelet is carried out in collaboration with Nordland Theater, Åaerjehlsamien Theater and Giron Theater where both professional and local actors participate. In connection with the performance itself, a separate “martna” (market) is arranged; Jamtjordmartnaden, with the re-creation of the old marketplace.
In 2016, Klemetspelet received the American Architecture Prize for its scenery and in 2018 the same scenery received the award “The APDC * IDA (Asia Pacific Design Center + International Design Awards) – Excellence Design Awards for Religious and Spiritual Building”. NRK TV broadcasted the documentary «Bergtatt» about Klemet and Klemetspelet in 2016.

Arrangementsbeskrivelse
This remarkable cabin, which sits 1,200 meters above sea level at the foot of Okstindan – known as the roof of Northern Norway – has been a haven for mountain enthusiasts and nature lovers for a decade. The anniversary will take place at the cabin itself and will offer cultural elements. The day will also be a tribute to the countless volunteers and contributors who have put in a formidable effort to realize and operate this unique cabin facility.
The program for the day will be published as soon as it is ready. Speeches and cultural elements at the cabin will take place from 1300-1500. There will be a tour with a tour leader that people can follow both up and down that day if they want.

The Okstindan nature and cultural Park - not an ordinary park
![Map over Korgen, Bjerka, Bleikvasslia, Finneidfjord, Hemnesberget and the closest towns surrounding them.](https://b1731283.smushcdn.com/1731283/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/kart-300x300.jpg?lossy=1&strip=1&webp=1)
The Okstindan Nature and Culture Park is located on Indre Helgeland and encompasses the entire municipality of Hemnes, from crumbling sea at Hemnesberget to eternal snow in Okstindan. The concept of park originates from the European regional parks, and involves working to safeguard and promote distinctive natural and cultural values in a defined area. We are committed to working with volunteers, businesses and the public to best manage our cultural and natural heritage. Together with the partners in the park that you can get to know on these websites, we work continuously to make sure that you who visit us, and we who live and work here, will enjoy and have good service and leisure services. Welcome to us!
