Finns are the largest ancestral group in the western UP. In this oral history documentary, three generations of both living and deceased, current and former residents weave attachments to people, places and events into a portrait that blends community and ethnic identity. Members of Pelkie’s second-generation and their third-generation children tell the story of Pelkie, their once thriving dairy farming and logging community in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula (UP).
