Thanks Heather and Carrie for the discussion.

Thank you for saving the Finnish American Historical Archive in Hancock Michigan.

Outstanding! I absolutely loved Deep River! Mr. Marlantes is an outstanding author and a very proud Finn! Semper Fi!

Haha, loistava great! ❤😂 Onks toi beats & style heppu?..😎

Thanks Heather, you have such a wonderful talent that resonates with me.

1950-60s when finnish peacekeepers were in middle east one of the first things they built was sauna. Even it was allmost +50 degrees centigrade outside 😆

Perkele 💪

Thank you for this marvelous performance. This has produced so many memories of my youth. I was born in Finland in 1941, I now live in Australia. I met Sibelius by accident in 1956 when I was visiting my grandmother, she lived near Ainola.

Thank you Frank for a most interesting presentation. I was always told my Finnish ancestors were born in the sauna because it was the cleanest place. I wonder if they had savu saunas.

Thank you Alice and Clare. Very interesting presentation.

OK..good

Just finished building my new traditional wood heated sauna here in Finland. Great to see the heritage live in kicking in the sauna belt!

My grandparents (Herman & Hilda Kuona) had savusauna in Marlborough NH on their farm. Unfortunately the farm was sold in the early 1960 and it was destroyed. It had a vent on the side wall where the smoke would go when warming the sauna. As kids we would go in when it was being warmed. You didn’t touch the walls or you would get black. The raised platform where we sat above the hearth was ok to sit. Of course, we had a brook nearby where we jump in after having our sauna. The sauna also was used to dry pole beans.

Mielettömän upea ❤

Ismo, olisit rehellisesti sanonut, ettei se ole saana, vaan SAUNA. Kyllä ne jenkit oppii sen oikein lausumaan.

Love his movies

nice

Enjoyed your presentation, but I didn't see any of the paintings??

Thanks Phyllis and FFN for this presentation. I would be interested in more presentations of this type.

Ihana musikki, ihana Koli, Pielinen ja filmatisointi. Kiitos toteuttajat ja etenkin Sello ja Piano musisoijat🎉

Great video What is the U.P.?

Very similar to traditional Russian Banya. Even down to the Birch Veniki.

This is awesome, ive been just now looking more into American Finns. Its good there's people like you. Greetings from Finland 😁

I just finished her book Ice and I simply loved it! I could not put it down. I cried when Petter drowned. Great book.

This is pretty cool, we're always curious as to what's going on across the pond ;) Regards from Finland!

Big thanks to Tommy and team. What a wonderful treasure chest of the past, somehow resonating one's being.👍👏💯

Absolutely amazing feat FFN achieved. Bravo to all concerned👏👏👍👍💎💎💯💯

Top show. Plenty of relevant info for 'neighbours' of finns . Applauds to FFN for promoting /sharing the platform 💎 🇦🇺🇫🇮

The forest finn flag is nearly the same as the karelinian flag in Russia (colours, scandinavian cross, but without the black center part) and the colours of tavast icehockey team Ilves, which I support. I am 2nd gen swede finn who moved back to Finland, so I can relate with much of the topics living through the mentioned experiences firsthand. 🖐✡✝️♾0️⃣🐻Many in my family moved also to US, Canada. Some stayed and others moved back. I wish you a good journey to find your heritage and genialogy, roots. 👍😌Language is though the key to unlock finnish culture, finnish local cultures, archives..Gottlund got it right there.

Just little fact for those who have family/ DNA connection to Finland. If you can prove your Finnish heritage, you will be automatically given the right to live, work and study in Finland with the same rights as Finnish citizens. Many young people take this opportunity to finish education as it’s free. So Finland has not forgotten you. 😉

being a descendant of southern scandinavian exodus , from what I found so far , danish or south sweden our roots and background are scattred so thin over the saxons ,romans, slavs etc. We had the advantage to mix our blood with stronger genetic variants... altough still a bit different of our east countries .. we are mostly european now. We learn every day that the population moved every so given time territory .... and we have to remember , it's not only genes that make the person . the american approuch is very narrow orientated , as like nothing changed in thousends of years...

does Harkonnen from dune have any real etymology?:) hark at least is a unique root word present from basque thru old norse to hittite, meaning light/holy/white (possibly distant cognate of sámi 'vilges'=white/ fungarian 'világos'=bright?)

As a Canadian. I want to know more about our Scandinavian cousins. Why do you ignore Canadian Finns?

To give voice? It seems to imply thinking less of a group's ability to communicate, which paradoxically has been espoused by the Foundation because of the importance of what they will communicate and/or because you don't see them as having their own voices without your channel. Or potentially as if some grandiose sacrifice has been made by the foundation to have them on its channel to begin with. If that's the case, perhaps you are underestimating your audience's interest in the topic?

Love from Finland.

110 degrees?? Whoa, that's... American 😡

theoretical only

What a rich experience! Thank you Phyllis, for documenting and sharing it with us. Here you are once again, creating meaningful connections in the world. I was lucky to learn to weave from you, and I love the leppä leaf!

My current understanding is the word _tundra_ is also a Finnish word that made its way to English too.

She's made rugs for Oprah Winfrey to Rob Ryner.

My mother Tuula Bjork has been weaving on her looms here in NY for over sixty years. She's going to be 82 and she is still weaving. She would be a great story . If interested contact me here. She taught in Finland and she is still A Finnish citizen.

Would love to hear more about the luuko and traditional ventilation!

Love it 😀

Awesome presentation.

jos tällä mainostetaan saunaa usa:ssa niin ei ihme että se ei oo suositumpi!

I clicked on this one instead of Conga Se Menne and I was baffled
