Ukraizy Canadian: Recent Episodes
Marlana
Привіт! Мене звати Марлана. I'm a Canadian writer and producer. I've published two historical fiction novels set in Canada and I've produced two full-length audio dramas. The amount of creative copy and online articles...well, after twenty-seven years, I've just lost count. I am devoting this space to talk about my Ukrainian lineage and the journey of reconnecting with my familial language.
If you also share Ukrainian or Eastern European ancestry, I'm glad you stopped by. If you're not, I'm still glad you stopped by.

Many thanks to Virginia Fox and The Dauphin Branch of Manitoba Genealogy Society for the information.
Meet Ilsa. A young girl who met her future husband at a dance in Keld, Manitoba and spent her entire life doing the best she could, working the family farm and raising six children. She was my great-granny, and I'm sure you'll learn to love her.
Canada needed help to join the east and west together by producing an massive agricultural manifestation in the prairies. But who would possibly endure such a task? Those were my relatives, and other Ukrainians who endured a long voyage from Europe to North America. This is their story, and how the Ukrainian language was affected by it.
