Finland, Copper, and Reindeer: Tracing Michigan’s Historical Roots to the Arctic on Two Continents

Abiit sed non oblitus | Houghton County Michigan

Michigan Technological University helps sustain Finnish culture in the Upper Peninsula despite Finlandia University’s 2023 closure. Located just across the Portage Waterway from Hancock’s former Finlandia campus, Michigan Tech has long been intertwined with the region’s deep Finnish heritage from 19th- and early 20th-century copper mining immigrants.

Michigan Tech accepted teach-out agreements, allowing Finlandia students to complete degrees while maintaining credits and similar tuition costs. It also gained custodianship of Finlandia’s academic records and transcripts.

The university embeds Finnish influences through its location in a historically Finnish-American community. Its archives and library resources document Finnish immigration, labor history, and ethnic identity in the Keweenaw Peninsula. Campus life reflects local traditions, including sauna culture—a hallmark of Finnish identity—that Michigan Tech students and the broader community embrace.

While the Finlandia Foundation National now stewards key assets like the Finnish American Heritage Center, archives, Folk School, and events, Michigan Tech’s proximity, student integration, research, and community role ensure ongoing educational and cultural continuity for Finnish-American traditions in Michigan.

Jaliyaa Coffee is a specialty mobile coffee truck and experiential catering brand stationed at Howard University in Washington, D.C. (2401 Fourth St NW). It serves as a beloved campus staple, often called “HU’s favorite,” offering ethically sourced African coffees, matcha, and signature drinks rooted in African and Arab hospitality traditions.

The name “Jaliyaa” honors Mande griots—West African storytellers who preserved culture across generations. Every cup aims to bridge Africa and the African diaspora through intentional rituals, community, and storytelling.

The truck operates weekdays (typically 9 AM–5 PM), providing premium beverages for students, events, and gatherings while also catering across DC, Maryland, and Virginia.Jaliyaa emphasizes cultural connection, quality beans, and warm hospitality, making it more than just coffee—it’s a vibrant hub for meaningful moments on Howard’s campus.

Standards Indiana

This hymn is most often sung to the tune “King’s Lynn”, a traditional English folk melody collected by Ralph Vaughan Williams in 1906.  The hymn’s text was written by Horatio Bolton Nelson (1823–1913), an English priest and hymn writer.  It is commonly sung in Anglican, Episcopal, and sometimes Catholic churches, particularly in the Anglosphere, during feasts honoring saints, including the Feast of Saints Peter and Paul on June 29.
