Anatomy of A Yooper: Exploring the Cultural Identity of Upper Michigan
Friday April 23, 2010 from 10:00am - 5:00pm
Marquette County History Museum
213 N Front St
Marquette, Michigan 49855 Get Directions
The U.P. has shaped the lives of many with its severe winters, beautiful summers, plentiful wildlife, rugged landscape and remote location. Since the Ojibwa people began fishing the waters and the first immigrants found work in the mines or forests, the land has had a major influence on the culture and identity of the area. As people worked together and survived the harsh conditions together, they shared ethnic traditions, customs and languages. Throughout the years, a new culture emerged, blended by these shared experiences and the love of the land. Some call these people "Yoopers." This identity has helped people survive the challenges of this small piece of paradise proudly called the UP.
