The beautiful and important thing about this is not really the embracment of Norwegian culture but the fact that they are embracing their ancestors and discovering a part of their cultural identity.

@@glseIIIethere ancestors moved to America 100+ years ago. I’m Norwegian descent on my dads side. My mom is half Finnish and half Norwegian American. My ancestors came to the US between the 1880s and 1920s and settled in Minnesota which is a state with predominantly Scandinavian heritage.
It's both hilarious and adorable how easily sentimentals Americans seem to get. I swear they cry all the time on this show over things that regular Norwegians would never get choked up about.
It's all part of a long legacy of diaspora. I'll admit I was a bit critical when auto play threw this at me, but it wasn't long before I myself got a bit choked up. I can see how impact it is to them to have this long awaited cultural reunion. Being an American I think it's important for all of us to know where we came from and appreciate the sacrifices our ancestors made in search for what was alluded to be a better life in this "new land". It doesn't make it any easier that many Norwegian families would have stayed if they could have. Norway was once a very poor country, something most would never guess today. I think wearing the Bunad is a way to reconcile a lost identity and embrace what your ancestors had been forced to leave, but in this modern sense to reclaim what was lost.
+Þorír Bjørk: At least their ancestors got to expand their families in new, spacious land. I wouldn't be surprised to learn that there's as much, or more, total Norwegian blood in the US as Norway. 'Total' because it's probably well-mixed by now.
No, actually... The Norwegians who have Bunad have never been more proud of the moment they put on their Bunad. It's the most Norwegian thing you can do and wear. Sadly not everyone has it, couse it costs 4.000 Dollars :3
Niobesnuppa. You're talking as though the equivalent for you would be getting dressed up in an American cowboy costume. If you dont get why then its because you have never been separated from the land and culture of your ancestors.

When most Americans use the term Bohemian, they're referring to the cultural movement, not the ethnic region in the Czech Republic: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bohemianism (In the same way that "Goth" has changed meanings): knowyourmeme.com/photos/1179344-goth
No problem, we wont get offended! I think its lovely. But treat it with some more respect then these people... Handling it all rough and careless. Its handmade and suuuuper expensive. And means a lot to us.
Norwegian clothes have sort of that ethnic, native, Bohemian vibe. Blinged out. And, like, very regal and Lord of the Rings. and OMGosh I had to wear a dress as a woman. But it makes me so proud to wear. Because I am American.
We just returned from a 2 week trip to Norway visiting family. We saw a collage graduation and all of the young ladies were wearing Bunad’s along with some of the men also some moms had theirs on as well.
The main reason less men wear them is only because they cost allot and men are generally less into clothes. So when one can ether get a dress for the one saying memmemememememememememem vs a boy that says, whatever. The decision is pretty easy for most.
Where i come from in Norway wich is Trysil we got our own Bunad for the tradition. I dont got one because its to expensive. You cant go to the store and buy one. They are all sewn specially for you, and you only. Takes half a year to make it at least, special order through tailors who have specialised themself in the game. And all the silver... aswell made specially for you! :)
Det finnes ikke falske bunader heldigvis. Bunad er ikke et merke, det er en type klede. Så lenge den ser ut som en ordentlig bunad, er av god kvalitet og du liker den, så er det en bunad. Jeg er ikke helt sikker, jeg har ikke bunad selv, men det er det jeg tror.
Bunads can vary from county to county. I am from Aust-Agder (well it's just Agder now since the counties of east and west were combined) But yeah. They are expensive. From $3000 or so and upwards. We only wear them on very special occasions. They are not cheap by any means.
@Sam yes. As i have heard, there will be no more "alt for Norge " for a few years. Og would be cool if Norwegians found realtives in the statens and they wen,t there.
Cimorelli is the best We're pretty big in Norway, we're the sister party of "Nei til EU" aka "No to the european union" :) We're the no movement in Norway, trying to get the politics on our side, to get out of the EEA deal, and to get a new deal. :)I do hope it happens while I still live.
Did some of the contestants switch teams? In other episodes, I remember Liv and Colby wearing red but here they wear blue? *confused* Still love the show, this years' season was amazing!
Just got another invite. Annual x-mas dinner. Hapahazzard collaction of friends. From USA and UK And Norway.. In oslo.. Always a great time every year. We are getting old.. So it's nice to meet all friends..
At the direction Sweden is moving such celebration of culture and history would be considered hate speech in another decade. Runes today - costume tomorrow.
Well, you'll most likely have to go to Norway to get the right one for you. Like, if your Norwegian family was from let's say Telemark, you have to get a Telemarksbunad (they are beautiful). And bunads are expensive, VERY expensive. I'm getting my first "real" bunad soon which is a Rukkastakk, and it costs 50 000kr. That is something around 8500 USD. But I think it's absolutely worth it! :D I wrote a lot more than I thought I would, sorry about that XD Lots of love from a Norwegian teenager and bunad-enthusiast!
They are mostly sold at Husfliden stores in Norway, they have a variety of contacts/local seamstresses around the country. I'm sure you will find more information online. Just Google Husfliden.
+NorwayG00 if your family is from telemark you dont /have/ to get a telemarksbunad, you can get any type that you'd like. You can buy bunads that are "done" or pay somebody to sew one for you, and its also possible to just rent one
They originally left because then, Europe was a terrible place to live. And people were experiencing endless prosecution, for either religion or culture. So they left for "the new world" for new opportunity and freedom. Which they got. Grant it now European is a fine place to live, but then, it was hell for so many people. And many of them never looked back.
American here with ancestors mostly from Norway (I’m part Finnish as well, but 75% Scandinavian according to ancestry since my family settled in Minnesota which is a Scandinavian state). They left due to religious persecution and lack of opportunities in Europe. That’s the case for most ethnic groups in America. From the English, Irish, Germans, and yes Norwegians.
I sincerely doubt that, considering that a bunad with silver would cost at the very most 150 000 nok. Or about 20 000 dollars. If you did pay as much as you claim you have been ripped off. Lol
@@ingridtjohnsen4096 85000 dollar er pr i dag ca. 850.000 norske kroner .altså nesten 1 million..... så det er umulig :) tror du roter litt der.. men at du kan ha betalt 85000 norske med alt som hører til - ja det går an... og da blir det ca.8500 dollar ;)
One can clearly see the ancient connection to the MIddle East and Central Asia, where the ancestors of all Europeans once migrated from, brought with them the knowledge of agriculture, the wheel and the horse, and mixed with the already existing population that had lived in Europe since the last Ice Age. DNA among other things proves this. For example a recent study here in Norway proved that 70-80% of all white ethnic Norwegian men can trace their DNA on their paternal side back to Central Asia, Turkey etc. I'm btw Norwegian, I grew up here, and live here still, and yes all my family, and relatives are white ethnic Norwegians!
