  • @DakotaHeritageInst Hei! Very interesting video, I am Norwegian myself and i am very interested in my heritage from north dakota, Just a question: do anyone down there remeber their roots speaking norwegian and such? It would be fun to know

  • @Gorbatsjov666 Many people celebrate their Norwegian heritage in North Dakota. There is a big festival every fall called Høstfest. Check it out online. Thanks for watching!

  • Sondre missed the mountains he loved. When he was buried in North Dakota, his essence traveled through the earth until he came up to Crested Butte, Colorado, where the revival of the Telemark turn began. Now his essence has spread to snow covered mountains all over the earth.
