    “From Sod House to Lefse House”

    “From Sod House to Lefse House” Immigration, Ethnicity, and the Formation and Reformulation of the Norwegian-Canadian Identity in Western Canada. By Kristin Borgenheim A Thesis presented to the Department of Literature, Area Studies and European Languages Faculty of Humanities In Partial Fulfilment of the Requirements for the MA Degree in English. UNIVERSITY OF OSLO Spring 2011 ii Abstract This thesis investigates the formation and reformulation of a distinct Norwegian- Canadian identity in western Canada. It argues that Norwegian immigrants to Canada in the beginning of the twentieth century adapted to Canadian society through their Norwegian lenses and worldview, and created a distinct Norwegian-Canadian western identity through the establishment of various organizations. During the late 1930s and 1940s, mainly as a result of the Great Depression and World War II, Norwegian Canadians seem to have become more assimilated, but there were still some who worked to revive interest in the Norwegian culture. With the movement towards official Multiculturalism in Canada and the initiation of the Multiculturalism policy in 1971, Norwegian Canadians experienced an ethnic revival. The Norwegian-Canadian identity had been reformulated and was now largely expressed through symbols. Still, their Norwegian heritage held great importance, and Norwegian Canadians again celebrated their heritage both privately and publicly. iii Acknowledgements After countless hours of research, writing and editing, my thesis is done and the time has come to thank the many people who in different ways have helped me complete it. First, I would like to thank my supervisor, Associate Professor David C. Mauk for his feedback. A very special thanks to Professor Gerhard Ens for providing suggestions and believing in my project.

  • Naming Opportunities – Indigenous Peoples Experience

    Naming Opportunities – Indigenous Peoples Experience

    FORT EDMONTON PARK ENHANCEMENT PROJECT NAMING OPPORTUNITIES WITHIN THE INDIGENOUS PEOPLES EXPERIENCE PUT YOUR MARK ON THE PARK A NAME GRACING A MEANINGFUL GATHERING SPACE IS A GREAT HONOR AND A TRIBUTE. As an important component of the Community Campaign to complete the funding for the expanded Fort Edmonton Park, your Campaign Cabinet is offering donors a variety of visible naming options or acknowledgments that ensure our past has a future. As the agship of the mission to enhance Fort Edmonton Park, the Indigenous Peoples Experience is a new, one-of-a-kind exibit opening to the public in spring of 2021. In full partnership with the Confederation of Treaty 6 First Nations and the Métis Nation of Alberta, the Indigenous Peoples Experience will feature immersive and interactive experiences with engaging audio-visual components telling the beautiful, inspiring and courageous stories of Indigenous people dating back to the early 1700s. Signicant investment by the Federal and Provincial governments has ensured the project will be given the national and international recognition it deserves, bringing with it greater media attention, tourism and convention trafc, business investment and community pride. When Fort Edmonton Park reopens in 2021, we hope your name will be there too! You or your business or organization could share in the excitement of the new Park by associating your name with one or more of the elements of the expanded living history museum. In addition to the Indigenous Peoples Experience, please consider putting your name on a new hotel room, a ride or game in the new midway. There are many opportunities from which to choose.
