Scandinavian-American
Scandinavian-American refers to individuals in the United States who have ancestry from the countries of Scandinavia, which include Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Finland, and Iceland. This cultural group has contributed significantly to American society, particularly in the Midwest, where many Scandinavian immigrants settled in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
The influence of Scandinavian-Americans can be seen in various aspects of American culture, including food, festivals, and architecture. Celebrations like Midsummer and Lutefisk dinners highlight their heritage, while traditional designs in homes and public buildings reflect their unique aesthetic.
