Abstract

The article focuses on the author's reflections on her identity as the daughter of immigrant parents from Ukraine, exploring how their experiences shaped her life and worldview. The author recounts her family's immigration story, highlighting the challenges faced by her parents, Cornelius and Katarina Falk, who settled in Manitoba, Canada, after enduring hardships in their homeland. She contrasts her family's two-generation immigrant experience with that of other families in their community, emphasizing the shared cultural and linguistic ties among Mennonites. The narrative illustrates the impact of historical events, such as World War I and epidemics, on her family's legacy and her own understanding of identity and belonging. [Extracted from the article]
