I love this!! My Grandma Jingo, my dad was her oldest. I watch it over and over, especially when needing a little extra SISU. I feel like she guides me when times are rough. I had such fun with her when I was a kid. Grandma passed quite a few years ago and had the beginnings of Dementia towards the end. She made an error in this film, saying her father came to America in 1918. She was born in 1918. He came here before 1901 I believe. He built the homestead in Misery Bay in 1901 or 1902. Grandma would say "Well, I'll be damned!! My mind just goes like dis, you know." ;)
@@juhalaine8400 Hi from the Copper Country of Michigan! Thanks! Finnish was her first language. I think we just ended up with a "slang" here. It got nicknamed "hillbilly Finn" ;)
This was, my aunt and she had a heart of gold, she mentions how tough the women were, and and still are I admire them and respect them in my heart-Howard Wiitala
They moved to America because Russians were power then they wanna out of it she tells about, but we wan Russia after that she told, church is everythink for them but she could sing even she wanted but nobody wanna listen to her hah hah in chourch ou my god what a auntie you have somebody tried to rape her but she hit his nose and a lott of stuff she takes care all of those cows and somebody thinks she is lesbian but she met her husband hah hah what a powerful women hillbilly finish wow
What a wonderful film and a wonderful woman. This strikes of happy and sad times, of melancholia, and of times we need to know about a small slice of American history and the immigrants that built this part of the USA. I thoroughly enjoyed this film.
i met jingo at misery bay with peg and eric. she was so interesting i am so blessed even for that short time. i am finn myself this brings back good memories of home.
This Erkki was my classmate in Tohmajärvi, Finland in the 1970's. Our hometown was almost at the Finnish-Russian border. He has made many movies of "ordinary people", but also they have been real personalities, too.
Miltä vuodelta tämä video on? Mielenkiintoinen kun oma isoisoisä lähti Kanadaan 1926 ja hänen elämästään Kanadassa ei hirviästi tietoa ole.. nin mukava nähä näitä amerikan suomalaisten elämästä..
Many times I would go to the Toivola coffee shop to have pasties....the ones with potatos, meat, etc in them...couldn´t eat the bottom crust because it was too greasy
My Mom makes these for deer hunting to feed everyone when they come off their stands. Then she starts making Cardamom bread with icing and Prune Tarts for Christmas.
You did not get my point. Unmarried people were called peräkammarin poikii yms. Not today, things have changed a lot and for the better. I have huge respect for this lady.
