"Finns
In Minnesota: Finn Halls"
by Britt Aamodt
- When travelling through
Minnesota's Finn country, you'll see
a good number of Finnish-style log
cabins, a lot of saunas, and, if you
look hard, a handful of Finn Halls.
In this latest segment in our
ongoing series on Minnesota Finns,
producer Britt Aamodt travels to
Wright and St. Louis counties to
investigate this Finnish building
tradition, which for the immigrants
of the early 20th-century Minnesota
provided a meeting place, cultural
safe haven, dance hall, a
teetotaler's Friday night out and a
paradise of the arts. In this piece
from Britt Aamodt you'll hear from
Harvey Broberg of Cokato, and
Clarence Ivonen from The Iron Range. |

"Finns In
Minnesota: The 1907 Mesabi Range
Strike"
by
Britt Aamodt -
July 1907, nearly 15,000
miners rose up to protest low pay
and unfair and dangerous work
conditions on the Mesabi Iron Range.
The strike would go down in history
as the first organized strike on the
Range, one that was supported,
sustained and led principally by the
Finns living in the hardscrabble,
pre-unionized industrial frontier of
Northeastern Minnesota. Northern
Community Radio producer Britt
Aamodt brings us this feature on
that historical event.

weekend during summer, vacationers
from all over Minnesota and beyond
its borders have packed up the
family car and headed north to
Highway 1. The highway cuts a jagged
route across the top quarter of the

curious about this storied
northlands highway and decided to
hit the road.
In this
episode Britt is on one of the most
unique Indian reservations in the
United States, Red Lake. Aamodt
