On this 10-day tour, we\u2019ll look at how people have been on the move to, from, and within Norway over the past millennium, changing the course of transatlantic history. We\u2019ll learn about migration within Norway, emigration to North America in the 19th and 20th centuries, and the return migration that followed. We\u2019ll also examine how Norwegians have influenced the migration of other ethnic groups. We\u2019ll investigate the voluntary and involuntary movements of the S\u00e1mi, Norway\u2019s Indigenous people, and look at the role that Norwegians played in forced migration during the transatlantic slave trade while under Danish rule. Along the way, we\u2019ll offer discussions of two migration-themed novels, giving travelers the chance to learn more about modern migration to Norway and the shared experiences of immigrants.<\/p>\n<p>The group meets in Stavanger, where the first organized group of immigrants left Norway for North America in 1825 on the sloop, <em>Restauration<\/em>. We\u2019ll visit Old Stavanger and get a glimpse of how the modern city is a center for the petroleum industry and its related migration. While in the area, we\u2019ll visit a replica of the <em>Restauration<\/em> and see the nearby home of Kleng Peerson, the \u201cfather of Norwegian immigration.\u201d Next we\u2019ll travel by boat to Bergen, a major international trade center since 1350. With our hotel near the historic Bryggen, we\u2019ll discuss why traders and merchants have traveled to and from this Northern European hub for centuries. From Bergen we\u2019ll fly to Trondheim, Norway\u2019s medieval capital and home to the world\u2019s northernmost Gothic cathedral, Nidaros. Built over the grave of Norway\u2019s patron saint Olav, the cathedral has been an important pilgrimage site since 1031. While in the region, we\u2019ll learn more about the life and death of Saint Olav at Stiklestad National Culture Center. In nearby Sn\u00e5sa we\u2019ll visit the birthplace of St. Olaf College founder and immigrant pastor B.J. Muus and delve into the history and culture of the S\u00e1mi.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Readings<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong><em>Peder Victorious: A Tale of the Pioneers Twenty Years Later<\/em><\/strong>, by R\u00f8lvaag, O.

After she graduated high school she attended Sagavoll Folkeh\u00f8yskole in Telemark, from where her paternal ancestry stems. Later she studied for two years at the University of Oslo. Her BA is in Scandinavian Studies, History &amp; Political Science from Concordia College in Moorhead, MN. She continued her studies at the University of Minnesota with an MA in Curriculum and Instruction of Second Languages and Cultures and then a Ph.D. in Germanic Studies from the University of Texas in Austin, Texas.<\/p>\n<p>She is the co-author of <em>Sett i gang: An Introductory Norwegian Curriculum<\/em>, which is the foundational Norwegian language text used by the majority of North American learners of Norwegian. She is also the project leader for <em>Godt i gang<\/em>, a collaborative online intermediate and advanced curriculum. She teaches a wide variety of courses at St. Olaf College in Norwegian language, history, culture, and film. This tour combines two specific interests of hers, the S\u00e1mi, which she has been teaching on for over a decade, and one of her more recent areas of scholarship, the Norwegian participation in the transatlantic trade of enslaved peoples.<\/p>\n<p><strong><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"10601\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/wp.stolaf.edu\/travel\/2024-norway\/amy-boxrud\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/wp.stolaf.edu\/travel\/files\/2023\/02\/Amy-Boxrud.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"340,512\" data-comments-opened=\"0\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Amy Boxrud\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/wp.stolaf.edu\/travel\/files\/2023\/02\/Amy-Boxrud.jpg\" class=\"is-style-default alignleft size-medium wp-image-10601\" src=\"https:\/\/wp.stolaf.edu\/travel\/files\/2023\/02\/Amy-Boxrud-199x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"199\" height=\"300\" \/>Amy Boxrud &#8217;89 P &#8217;22<\/strong>, Executive Director, Norwegian-American Historical Association (NAHA)<\/p>\n<p>Amy Boxrud is executive director for the Norwegian-American Historical Association (NAHA), where she is responsible for leading the organization&#8217;s membership, communications, and development efforts.

Movement within each city and at cultural\/historic sites will be on foot, requiring a lot of walking and standing, often over uneven ground. To fully participate you should be capable of walking up to five miles per day over uneven terrain, of climbing stairs that may not have handrails, of climbing in and out of various types of transportation, of keeping pace with an active group of travelers on long days of traveling, of dealing with the emotional highs and lows that can occur when experiencing different cultures, and of traveling with a group for several hours each day. Any participant who has demonstrated an inability, in the opinion of the tour leader, of keeping up with the group or of safely participating in program activities may be prohibited from participating in certain activities.<\/p>\n<p>You will be responsible for your own luggage. Traveling lightly is highly recommended.<\/p>\n<p>Hotels will be tourist class (four-star or superior rating) with private baths, air conditioning, and English-speaking staff.<\/p>\n                    <\/div>\n                <\/div>\n            <\/article>\n\n\t\t\t\n            <article  class=\"is-style-default accordion__row site-panel__accordion-item \" role=\"tab\" aria-selected=\"false\" id=\"accordion-69e6d0f992ec7-header-4\" aria-controls=\"accordion-69e6d0f992ec7-content-4\">\n        \t\t<button\n\t\t\t\t\taria-expanded=\"false\"\n\t\t\t\t\tclass=\"is-style-default accordion__header site-panel__accordion-title clearfix\"\n\t\t\t\t\tdata-depth=\"0\"\n\t\t\t\t\tdata-index=\"4\"\n\t\t\t\t\tdata-name=\"title\"\n\t\t\t\t\tdata-livetext\n        \t\t>\n\t\t\t\t\t                    <span class=\"is-style-default accordion__header-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\tTour Pricing, Inclusions, and Exclusions\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n                <\/button>\n                <div\n\t\t\t\t\taria-labelledby=\"accordion-69e6d0f992ec7-header-4\"\n\t\t\t\t\t class=\"is-style-default accordion__content site-panel__accordion-content context-content t-content \"\t\t\t\t\tid=\"accordion-69e6d0f992ec7-content-4\"\n\t\t\t\t\trole=\"tabpanel\"\n\t\t\t\t\tdata-depth=\"0\"\n\t\t\t\t\tdata-index=\"4\"\n\t\t\t\t\tdata-autop=\"true\"\n\t\t\t\t\tdata-name=\"accordion_content\"\n\t\t\t\t\tdata-livetext\n                >\n\t\t\t\t\t                    <div class=\"is-style-default accordion__content-inner context-content\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>The tour price is the same for both tours: $4,657 per person, based on double occupancy.
