  • Precious Legacy. . Finnish-Canadian Archives, 1882-1
    "Kallista Perintoa - Precious Legacy.p. Finnish-Canadian Archives, 1882-1985 by EDWARD W. LAINE* The contours of the Canadian archival establishment have been traditionally defined by the upper strata of Canadian society. In other words, those public and private archives sponsored by the Canadian elite have become captive to the interests of their particular benefactors. Symptomatic of this has been the Canadian archival establishment's constant emphasis on the jurisdictional insularity of its member institutions and its lack of historical consciousness of a common archival heritage as well as its striking indifference to the communal memory and public service. The prevailing archival tradition in this country - if such exists - is elitist rather than popular and democratic in nature. Yet, as the history of Finnish-Canadian archival activity indicates, this country also has other, more popular archival traditions which developed outside the pale of the Canadian archival establishment and its ranks of professional archivists. From the time they trickled into Canada in the 1880s, the immigrant Finns brought with them a well-defined aware- ness of a native Finnish archival tradition, one which can be traced back at least to the fifteenth century. In addition, they had an acute sense of self-identity as a people and, as well, a remarkable degree of historical consciousness concerning their past and present in both individual and communal terms, elements of which were to become further accen- tuated in the course of their settlement here. They also possessed a high rate of literacy and great respect for the written word. Finally, they had great desire and capacity for organization - especially in the matter of providing themselves with those community services that were non-existent in the "new land" and which they deemed to be essential for their commonweal.

(Included as a volume in the publishers' The Cunadian Sucial Hisrorjl Series.) If the grim necessities of realpolitik in the early 1970s had finally forced the federal gov- ernment to recognize the fundamental presence of cultural pluralism in Canada for the sake of national unity, they were also instrumental in establishing the outer limits for the expression of this ethno-cultural diversity under the rubric of "multiculturalism within a bilingual framework".' In other words. the main thrust of the government's multicultural policy was to reaffirm the Official Languages Act of 1969 whichaccorded de,iurestatus to I House of Commons, Debates. 28th Purliamenr. Vol Vlll (Ottawa, 1971), p. 8545. in which the then Prime Minister of Canada noted during the course of his announcement on the government's implementation of this policy on 8 October 1971: "A policy of multiculturalism within a bilingual framework commends itself to the government as the most suitable means of assuring the cultural freedom of Canadians. Such a policy should help break down discriminatory attitudes and cultural jealousies. National unity if it is to mean anything in the deeply personal sense must be founded on confidence in one's own individual identity; out of this can grow respect for that of others and a willingness to share ideas, attitudes and assumptions.

  • “Can't Help Singing”: the “Modern” Opera Diva In
    “CAN’T HELP SINGING”: THE “MODERN” OPERA DIVA IN HOLLYWOOD FILM, 1930–1950 Gina Bombola A dissertation submitted to the faculty at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of Music in the College of Arts and Sciences. Chapel Hill 2017 Approved by: Annegret Fauser Tim Carter Mark Katz Chérie Rivers Ndaliko Jocelyn Neal ©2017 Gina Bombola ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Gina Bombola: “Can’t Help Singing”: The “Modern” Opera Diva in Hollywood Film, 1930–1950 (Under the direction of Annegret Fauser) Following the release of Columbia Pictures’ surprise smash hit, One Night of Love (1934), major Hollywood studios sought to cash in on the public’s burgeoning interest in films featuring opera singers. For a brief period thereafter, renowned Metropolitan Opera artists such as Grace Moore and Lily Pons fared well at the box office, bringing “elite” musical culture to general audiences for a relatively inexpensive price. By the 1940s, however, the studios began grooming their own operatic actresses instead of transplanting celebrities from the stage. Stars such as Deanna Durbin, Kathryn Grayson, and Jane Powell thereby became ambassadors of opera from the highly commercial studio lot. My dissertation traces the shifts in film production and marketing of operatic singers in association with the rise of such cultural phenomena as the music-appreciation movement, all contextualized within the changing social and political landscapes of the United States spanning the Great Depression to the Cold War. Drawing on a variety of methodologies—including, among others, archival research, film analysis, feminist criticisms, and social theory—I argue that Hollywood framed opera as less of a European theatrical art performed in elite venues and more of a democratic, albeit still white, musical tradition that could be sung by talented individuals in any location.

  • Challenges and Opportunities for the Internationalisation of Finnish Sme's
    Bachelor's thesis International Business International Business Management 2013 Jukka Hyvönen CHALLENGES AND OPPORTUNITIES FOR THE INTERNATIONALISATION OF FINNISH SME’S TO CANADA – Perspective of Finpro and similar internationalisation support organisations BACHELOR´S THESIS | ABSTRACT TURKU UNIVERSITY OF APPLIED SCIENCES International Business | International Business Management 2013| 58 Instructor: Ajaya Joshi Jukka Hyvönen CHALLENGES AND OPPORTUNITIES FOR THE INTERNATIONALISATION OF FINNISH SME’S TO CANADA Internationalisation and moving to a new market is always a challenge, especially during the on- going challenging economic climate. However, Finland is a small market and in order to grow and become successful internationally small and medium sized companies must take the risk to seek the necessary growth abroad. Distant and unknown markets such as Canada tend to get less attention from the expanding company, so little that even the most visible business opportunities might get unexploited. During my time as a Market Analyst Intern at the Finpro, Finland Trade Center office in Toronto, Canada in 2011 I learned about the challenges and opportunities of the Canadian market. This thesis, based on authors experience during the internship, public online sources as well as an interview of the Finpro country representative and my former boss, Mr Ari Elo will introduce the most potential industries as well as study and analyse those obstacles and unused opportunities of this market from the viewpoint of Finnish expertise and specialization. The research reveals that there are major unused opportunities and demand for Finnish expertise in Cleantech and Arctic technologies. Main reason for not exploiting the opportunities are simply lack of knowledge and reluctance to move to a geographically distant market, especially when Finland’s foreign trade representative services are allocated very few resources, relying on volunteers.

  • Environment and Economy in the Finnish-Canadian Settlement of Sointula
    Utopians and Utilitarians: Environment and Economy in the Finnish-Canadian Settlement of Sointula M IKKO SAIKKU There – where virgin nature, unaltered by human hand, exudes its own, mysterious life – we shall find the sweet feeling that terrifies a corrupt human being, but makes a virtuous one sing with poetic joy. There, amidst nature, we shall find ourselves and feel the craving for love, justice, and harmony. Matti Kurikka, 19031 he history of Sointula in British Columbia – the name of the community is a Finnish word roughly translatable as “a place of harmony” – provides ample material for an entertaining T 1901 narrative. The settlement was founded in as a Finnish utopian commune on the remote Malcolm Island in Queen Charlotte Strait. Al- though maybe a quarter of Malcolm Island’s eight hundred inhabitants are still of Finnish descent, little Finnish is spoken in the community today.2 Between the 1900s and the 1960s, however, the predominant language of communication in Sointula was Finnish. The essentials of Sointula’s fascinating history are rather well known: they include the establishment of an ethnically homogenous, utopian socialist commune; its inevitable breakup; strong socialist and co-operative 1 I wish to thank Pirkko Hautamäki, Markku Henriksson, Kevin Wilson, the editor of BC Studies, and two anonymous readers for their thoughtful comments on the manuscript. A 2004 travel grant from the Chancellor’s Office at the University of Helsinki and a 2005 Foreign Affairs Canada Faculty Research Award enabled me to conduct research in British Columbia. Tom Roper, Gloria Williams, and other staff at the Sointula Museum were most supportive of my research on Malcolm Island, while Jim Kilbourne and Randy Williams kindly provided me with the hands-on experience of trolling for Pacific salmon onboard the Chase River.

  • Soviet Karelia in the Letters & Memoirs Of
    LIFE MOVING FORWARD: SOVIET KARELIA IN THE LETTERS & MEMOIRS OF FINNISH NORTH AMERICANS SAMIRA S. SARAMO A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES IN PARTIAL FULFILMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY GRADUATE PROGRAM IN HISTORY YORK UNIVERSITY TORONTO, CANADA SEPTEMBER 2014 © SAMIRA SARAMO, 2014 Abstract In the first years of the 1930s, some 6500 Finnish Canadians and Finnish Americans moved to Soviet Karelia, motivated by the economic depression and the dream of participating in the building of a Finnish-led workers’ society, with employment, education, and healthcare for all. Their recruitment as “foreign specialists” who would modernize the Karelian economy secured for them preferential access to food, housing, and work postings, but life in Karelia was very different than what the immigrants had previously known. Despite difficulties and a heavy return migration, those who stayed threw themselves into the building of socialism. However, by 1936, the Stalinist regime viewed ethnic minorities and foreigners as threats to the Soviet order, and the Finnish leadership in Karelia was ousted and a violent attack on ethnic Finns and Finnish culture took over the region, shattering the dream of the ‘Red Finn Haven.’ This dissertation examines letters written by Finnish North Americans in Karelia to friends and family remaining in Canada and the United States, as well as memoirs and retrospective letter collections that look back on life in Karelia in the 1930s. These sources, brought together under the umbrella of life writing, are analysed in two ways. They are used to construct a history of the immigrants’ everyday life, with chapters exploring topics such as travel and first impressions, housing, food, health and hygiene, clothing, children’s experiences, formal labour, political participation, celebrations, popular culture, sociability, and repression.

Sen vuoksi oli mielenkiintoista keskittyä tutkimaan miten nämä kaksikieliset itse suhtautuvat identiteettiinsä ja millaisia muutoksia siinä tapahtuu, kun ympäristö, kieli ja kulttuuri muuttuvat. Kaksikielisyyttä on Kanadassa ja yleensä tutkittu paljon, mutta se on lähinnä keskittynyt yhteiskunnalliseen kaksikielisyyteen, kuten ranskankielisiin kanadalaisiin. Koska Kanadassa asuvien vähemmistöjen, kuten suomalaisten identiteettiä on tutkittu vähän, päätin ruveta tutkimaan näiden kaksikielisten yksilöllistä identiteettiä.

  • 1 Historical Sketch Individual Finnish Immigrants Worked on Early Canal
    1 Historical Sketch Individual Finnish immigrants worked on early canal and railroad projects in Canada, but it was not until the 1890s that organized communities developed. Some of the earliest Finnish immigrants seeped into northern British Columbia from the Russian Alaska territory of Alaska, which had been under the rule of a Finnish Governor General, after it was sold to the United States in 1867. Well adjusted to the cold climate and unfriendly terrain, throughout the history of Finnish settlement in Canada, most of the Finnish immigrants chose the mine or lumber towns of northern Ontario as their final destination. In most cases they preferred to live in the rural communities surrounding these towns, in places such as Beaver Lake, Waters Township, and Long Lake (in proximity to Sudbury, Ont.), South Porcupine, and Cochrane (close to Tinunins, Ont.), where they could easily supplement their income by fishing and hunting. A small number of Finns operated large commercial farms, mostly dairy farms, around Sudbury(Ont.) and Thunder Bay(Ont.). A prewar peak in Finnish immigration in Canada was attained in 1913, when 3,508 Finns From • reached Canada. the last decade of the nineteenth century the Finnish Canadians started forming their own societies and clubs: in 1893 the first temperance society was established in Sault Ste. Marie (Ont.), and in 1896 the first Finnish congregation in Thunder Bay(Ont.). In 1903 Thunder Bay obtained its first Socialist organization • and community center. The only large community to attract any Finnish immigrants was Toronto(Ont.), which counted a Finnish Canadian population of approximately 1,000 before the First World War, the vast majority of whom were skilled workers.

More specifically, the purpose was to examine how the ethnic culture has been maintained and the ways that ethnic identity manifests itself in their life stories. Ten qualitative, semi-structured interviews were conducted with Finnish immigrants and children of Finnish immigrants, and emerging themes were identified in the data.
