Uff
da! “Scandinavian Traditions”
debuts on Prairie Public Television
In
the late 1800s, one out of every six adults living in Scandinavian countries
emigrated to North America. They came to the New World for many reasons:
younger sons from Norway seeking land, young Swedish wives following
their husbands to a land of promise, older Finnish men hoping to improve
their sons' lives, families leaving behind the villages in Iceland their
ancestors lived in for generations. They left their old lives behind
them but they brought the icons of their heritage with them in hand-painted
immigrant trunks. They brought with them a legacy of art, fine handcrafts,
music, storytelling, and food traditions.
