Uff da! "Scandinavian Traditions" produced by 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.
