🙏✝️💯👍❤️

I'm glad you created this great channel,and I'm also a new subscribed user and thankful for finding this channel. I was a frequent visitor and a part-time resident of the area of Pelkie and Froberg road area and I'm very hopeful to return to that area,for good.my father was a very important person to that community,he owned a big cattle farm just off of Froberg road,he was a Pelkie Fire Department Chief,and he was also a trustee of the Baraga County board of commissioners. Thanks for your time and efforts to make these videos of places, people,and the history of all involved.❤️👍💯🙏✝️🇺🇲

they have taken so much from us 😞

Hienot Saunat sielä Ameriikassa💗🌹👌🏻

Love the sound of the Kantele💗

So strange to hear two of the men in this video speak English with a Finnish accent! 😮

I am from Finland. My great grandparents had several sibilings who moved to Calumet Michigan at the end of 19th century.

Greetings from Finnland. Minua hiukan huvittaa nämä videot, koska niissä näkyy 'vanhaa suomea'. Suomi ja suomalaiset ovat kovasti muuttuneet vuosikymmeninä ja tätä Suomea ei oikeastaan enää ole

Is there eny Finn-Swedish speakers left? Meny left from Ostrobothnia for America/Canada and never returned.

UP is a different (and wonderful) world.

Tyylikäs

We called it vasta, , the saunaclap.... from middle of Finland

Proud to be 75% Finnish 25% Swedish and a Yooper. My family settled around Chatham and Forest Lake.

Im a Finnish Swedish American. My grandmother has and all of my great aunts had very similar accents. I used to really enjoy listening to them speak, especially my great aunt Helmi (rest in peace)

This guy was one tough fella. Dennis was awesome! He was smart and hard as nails. I enjoyed having some good conversations with him. They don’t make them like him anymore.

It is interesting that as a Finn I can still clearly hear a slight Finnish accent when Rudy talks 0:39 😊

Any Kalliainen's there? My Grandma was Kaisa Kalliainen. Her brother was Simon and others. Grandma came to America in 1892 through Ellis Island.

Can anyone tell me the name of the song around 1:35?

You're a white guy, not an Ojibwe.

wtf was up with that balalaika

If you make a dvd kill the unnecessary music 👎👎👎👎💩💩😬

I need work for weaver export

Perhaps a little off point, but I went bear hunting with my brother on the Keweenaw Peninsula in the 1960s. Before the globalization of communication (TV and the Internet) ,many people on the peninsula seemed to proudly fly the Finnish Flag and Finnish was the language still used by a sizeable group of new immigrants and 2nd & 3rd generation rFinnish immigrants. I remember stopping on a backwoods road and asking directions from a teenage boy of about my age. I was started to hear his very thick Finnish accents from someone was almost certainly a native-born American. Does anyone know if the Finnish lilt can still be heard in those parts? Is Finnish still spoken or taught in local schools In the intervening years, I have coincidentally come to deeply admire and study the music of Sibelius. Y wonder if anyone today in a Pelie or a Houghton bar be impressed iI visited and suddenly broke into one of my favorite tunes "Finlandia." - albeit in a horrendous accent? Tässä on isänmaa - Suomi. Ohita Akvavit!!

I had no idea these rugs were a Finnish American thing. My Finnish background is in Minnesota. My grandfather embraced American culture so my mom and learned very little about Finnish culture. I've been working on learning more on my own. I'd love to see this whole film as I have been learning weaving as a separate skill. I'd love to make these two things overlap.

10/10 would watch the full documentary on RUclips but would never order the dvd

Beautiful sounds especially coming back from a cross country ski through the woods

My fathers sister have been teaching finnish in Winsor Canada, pretty close to that area. She moved there from Finland some 60 years ago, If i remember correctly most students were second or third generation immigrants from Finland.

3:36 this statement is not valid It deeply upset me in the past nothing was hard we were live in Paradise Technology is of no assistant it’s hard work slavery and more What about Mother Earth 🙏🌈🙏🌈🙏🌈🙏🌈🪘😊

It's not a coincidence that so many Finns settled down to the UP. The nature is so similar to Finland. And I have understood that the climate is also quite similar like here.

I student taught in Pelkie in spring of 1976. The school was awesome. There was a picture dedicated to a guernsey bull for improving the dairy cattle in the copper country.

This documentary is an important gem. I am a Yank who is very interested in music like this. I will have to play along with one of my Hohner tremolo harmonicas and a pair of wooden spoons. I might need to clog dance a bit, too! Thanks for sharing this.

It was really interesting to see that 'vihta' (in my dialect 'vasta') was made from cedar. In Finland we use only silver birch (betula pendula). Obviously cedar does not grow here. Thnx, great clip!

Very interesting and a cool video! Cheers from Finland

Experimental archeology is the best!

My best friend is Finnish from Michigan. Family came here long ago. They’d be proud to see where they are today

Ah, a classic Finnish accent! Great video! Some relatives went to America too. Apparently they used to visit Finland in the 70s but not much information of them after that sadly.

🤠👍👍👍

Even one of those rag rugs says Trans Rights! 😘🏳️‍🌈

Abolish corporations and we can bring back small dairy farms...

What a hidden gem of a movie. Grandpa found it at a thrift store for cheap

Amazing video

My g/g grandmother came on her own from Finland. She lived in Hancock. I still live in Michigan. I love this land. Hopeful I will one day be able to connect also with the Suomi land.

I sure do miss my Mom ❤️

My family’s farm still stands in Pelkie.

I am a white man 36 I grew up in cook-orr area it was like it was programmed into me to disrespect the natives or have a negative view, but as I have grown older and hone my bushcraft and outdoors skills I realize the connection the natives have to this land is pure and forever and I find myself longing for insite or knowledge of this connection not as I want to take but simply be a part of. I was born here and cannot live anywhere else because my soul brings me right back here to lake vermilion and the white pine spirit.

made in finland

These scans look great, Michael!

I was married to a Finn, so I had many wonderful rag rugs given to me. Enjoyed them very much.

He says Ojibwa, we're actually called Anishnabe.

Hauska nähdä tämä. LOVE IT
