Finnish Midwest Communists? : 2W1C S04E14 

Still killing it with this video series!

Thanks for this. Fascinating. And so good to see the old (now gone) Hoito!

I am 49% Finnish from my mother's side, her father was a Finnish emigrant, and her mother was a second-generation emigrant. As one of the last groups to emigrate Finns were decimated against, always kick the last person off the boat. With the decimation Finns formed their own stores the "Coop's" 70 years before the hippies. My older cousins were taught Finnish. They were bullied in school by other students for their Finnish accent, I had cousins that sounded like they were in the Film Fargo. In the late 40's my aunts and uncles decided that the kids would no longer be taught Finnish, I missed out.
