The Upper Peninsula of Michigan—known as \"the UP\"—is historically, geographically, and culturally distinct. Struggles over land, labor, and language during the last 150 years have shaped the variety of English spoken by resident Yoopers, as well as how they are viewed by outsiders.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDrawing on sixteen years of fieldwork, including interviews with seventy-five lifelong residents of the UP, Kathryn Remlinger examines how the idea of a unique Yooper dialect emerged. Considering UP English in relation to other regional dialects and their speakers, she looks at local identity, literacy practices, media representations, language attitudes, notions of authenticity, economic factors, tourism, and contact with immigrant and Native American languages. The book also explores how a dialect becomes a recognizable and valuable commodity: Yooper talk (or \"Yoopanese\") is emblazoned on t-shirts, flags, postcards, coffee mugs, and bumper stickers.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eYooper Talk\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e explains linguistic concepts with entertaining examples for general readers and also contributes to interdisciplinary discussions of dialect and identity in sociolinguistics, anthropology, dialectology, and folklore.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eUniversity of Wisconsin Press, 2017\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePaperback, 182 pages, 22 black and white illustrations, 5.5 x 8.5 in\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Kathryn A.

At the time, Hancock consisted of nothing more than a small cluster of humble buildings, but it was here, on the outskirts of mid-19th-century civilization, that Finnish settlement in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula (UP) took root. Much to the surprise of these new Americans, Midsummer was not a religious holiday marked by feasts in celebration of the season’s prolonged sunlight. Rather, the newcomers were immediately hastened into the bowels of the earth to extract copper in pursuit of the American Dream. In short order, hardworking Finnish immigrants became reputable miners, lumberjacks, farmers, maids, and commercial fishermen. A century and a half later, the UP boasts the largest Finnish population outside of the motherland and sustains the determined spirit the Finns call sisu—an influence that remains palpable in all 15 UP counties.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eArcadia Publishing, 2018\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003epaperback, 128 pages, 224 Black And White pictures, 6.5 (w) x 9.25 (h)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e","brand":"Finnish American Heritage Center","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":13606102630479,"sku":"9781467129787","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2094\/7031\/products\/9781467129787.jpg?v=1571718553"},{"product_id":"sauna-pillow-headboard-linen","title":"Sauna pillow headboard linen","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHeadrest with a linen sauna pillow increases the enjoyment of sauna.\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003ePlace the product on the head, neck or back and relax in the heat of the sauna.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe cover of the sauna pillow is made of high-quality linen (60%) and cotton (40%), the filling is made of light and non-combustible wadding.\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eThe machine-washable pillow dries quickly even after frequent saunas.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Finlandia Sauna","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39682699788367,"sku":"6417892029509","price":39.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2094\/7031\/products\/saunapillow.jpg?v=1637094714"},{"product_id":"keweenawland","title":"Keweenawland","description":"\u003cp align=\"left\"\u003eAn adventurer's guide for exploring the Keweenaw Peninsula.

A variety of techniques ranging from wheel throwing to hand building will be demonstrated to get the vases to the desired height. Within this class students will learn how working small and in parts can lead to building big forms. Four class sessions are designated for building the forms. Two class sessions will be dedicated to glazing and loading the gas kiln. And the last class will be unloading the kiln and seeing everyone’s brilliant work! Different glazing techniques will be demonstrated during these sessions.

Historically, there are at least three different ways that the Finnish made birch bark sheaths. The woven birch bark sheaths which will be made in this workshop are based on museum examples made during the 19th century in Southern Finland (Päijät-Häme and Uusimaa regions).\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eEach student will be supplied with enough birch bark to make one sheath for one knife. This workshop is especially suited to puukko, Sloyd knives, and small woodcarving knives. To make sure the sheaths fit, students should bring their sheath-less knives with them. Due to the size of the birch bark available, the blade portion of the knife should be no longer than 4 inches in length. If you have a longer knife, or different sort of tool for which you would like to make a sheath, please contact us so that we can discuss it in advance. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNo experience necessary.
