She lived there until she was 18. Burtnik recalls that her parents arrived Canada in about 1912. They came separately and met in Winnipeg, Manitoba, where they married. After they got married, they moved to the area where Burtnik was born, and settled on a homestead there. Burtnik grew up in a family of seven children, four boys and three girls.\nWhen Burtnik turned 18, her aunt from Alberta decided that she should come to Edmonton. It was an opportunity for a better life.\nBurtnik asks whether she should talk about what they did for recreation and culture when living on the homestead. The interviewer explains that they would talk about that a little bit later.\nBurtnik came to Edmonton in 1938 and has lived there since then.\nBurtnik finished grade 10. She attended a one room-school located half a mile from home. The teachers taught from grade 1 to 8, grade 9 and 10 were taught via correspondence courses. The teachers helped if necessary but they did their studying in grade 9 and 10 on their own. Burtnik's dream was to become a nurse but the nurse hospital was in Yorkton, Saskatchewan, 24 miles away. That was \"a long, long way\" in those days. In addition, one would have needed money for a pair of nursing shoes and other expenses which her parents couldn't afford. Burtnik became a homemaker and raised her children.","format":"text/plain","label":{"en":["Synopsis"]}}],"target":"https://ualberta.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1776/collection_resources/58580/file/132643#t=0.0,279.0"},{"id":"https://ualberta.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1776/collection_resources/58580/file/132643/index/52435/annotation/3","type":"Annotation","motivation":"supplementing","body":[{"type":"TextualBody","value":"education","format":"text/plain","label":{"en":["Subjects"]}},{"type":"TextualBody","value":"family life","format":"text/plain","label":{"en":["Subjects"]}},{"type":"TextualBody","value":"immigration","format":"text/plain","label":{"en":["Subjects"]}},{"type":"TextualBody","value":"nurses","format":"text/plain","label":{"en":["Subjects"]}},{"type":"TextualBody","value":"school buildings","format":"text/plain","label":{"en":["Subjects"]}}],"target":"https://ualberta.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1776/collection_resources/58580/file/132643#t=0.0,279.0"},{"id":"https://ualberta.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1776/collection_resources/58580/file/132643/index/52435/annotation/4","type":"Annotation","motivation":"supplementing","body":[{"type":"TextualBody","value":"Family background, life of parents in Galicia (Western Ukraine)","format":"text/plain","label":{"en":["Title"]}}],"target":"https://ualberta.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1776/collection_resources/58580/file/132643#t=279.0,764.0"},{"id":"https://ualberta.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1776/collection_resources/58580/file/132643/index/52435/annotation/5","type":"Annotation","motivation":"supplementing","body":[{"type":"TextualBody","value":"Burtnik grew up with her parents and siblings. Burtnik's father was of Polish descent, her mother was Ukrainian. She considered her background always Ukrainian. They lived in a Ukrainian community. They celebrated Christmas according to the Gregorian calendar but they never spoke Polish.\nBurtnik's father was born in Chortkiv, her mother in Krasnostavtsi (Sniatyn county). Her parents found out about Canada through relatives who had come over earlier. Burtnik explains the background of homesteading in Canada.\nBurtnik's parents talked a lot about the old country. At that time, these stories weren't that important for her. For her father and his family, it was a bit easier as there was a tobacco factory in his home town, and they all had jobs. They were \"a little bit more progressive\". Her mother was born in a \"selo\" (village), and they had it hard. They had only enough space to plant an apple tree and keep a few hogs. Sometimes, they had also a cow and a calf. Her mother's family worked for the landlords, not for money but for food.\nBurtnik states that her parents never regretted that they had left the old country. They talked about family members they had left behind, however, more and more relatives were coming to Canada. Burtnik's mother talked a lot about her childhood. Her mother had been very young when her mother died. There were six children in her mother's family, and it was particularly hard for her mother and her mother's brother who were the youngest ones. Her mother was always considered as a \"syrota\" (orphan). Burtnik stresses that despite their poverty, they had their culture and traditions, and her mother was looking forward to Christmas and Easter. They ate babka and paska at Easter. Her parents talked a lot about traditions and culture, how they would dance. Her mother and her family were quite spiritual and went to church. Her mother was \"a sad child\" due to the untimely passing of her mother and babysat the children of her sister. \nBurnik's father had a little bit more education than her mother. He worked for an army captain, so he experienced finer things in life because he lived with the captain's family, \"and in those times they lived very high\". She states that her father learned \"from the side lines at least that there is a better life\". \n","format":"text/plain","label":{"en":["Synopsis"]}}],"target":"https://ualberta.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1776/collection_resources/58580/file/132643#t=279.0,764.0"},{"id":"https://ualberta.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1776/collection_resources/58580/file/132643/index/52435/annotation/6","type":"Annotation","motivation":"supplementing","body":[{"type":"TextualBody","value":"Christmas","format":"text/plain","label":{"en":["Subjects"]}},{"type":"TextualBody","value":"dance","format":"text/plain","label":{"en":["Subjects"]}},{"type":"TextualBody","value":"Easter","format":"text/plain","label":{"en":["Subjects"]}},{"type":"TextualBody","value":"ethnic identity","format":"text/plain","label":{"en":["Subjects"]}},{"type":"TextualBody","value":"family life","format":"text/plain","label":{"en":["Subjects"]}},{"type":"TextualBody","value":"Gregorian calendar","format":"text/plain","label":{"en":["Subjects"]}}],"target":"https://ualberta.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1776/collection_resources/58580/file/132643#t=279.0,764.0"},{"id":"https://ualberta.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1776/collection_resources/58580/file/132643/index/52435/annotation/7","type":"Annotation","motivation":"supplementing","body":[{"type":"TextualBody","value":"babka","format":"text/plain","label":{"en":["Keywords"]}},{"type":"TextualBody","value":"paska","format":"text/plain","label":{"en":["Keywords"]}},{"type":"TextualBody","value":"Poles","format":"text/plain","label":{"en":["Keywords"]}},{"type":"TextualBody","value":"Ukrainians","format":"text/plain","label":{"en":["Keywords"]}}],"target":"https://ualberta.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1776/collection_resources/58580/file/132643#t=279.0,764.0"},{"id":"https://ualberta.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1776/collection_resources/58580/file/132643/index/52435/annotation/8","type":"Annotation","motivation":"supplementing","body":[{"type":"TextualBody","value":"Farm life, food","format":"text/plain","label":{"en":["Title"]}}],"target":"https://ualberta.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1776/collection_resources/58580/file/132643#t=764.0,993.0"},{"id":"https://ualberta.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1776/collection_resources/58580/file/132643/index/52435/annotation/9","type":"Annotation","motivation":"supplementing","body":[{"type":"TextualBody","value":"Burtnik recalls that her family did farming, raising a few cattle. There was a drought for many years, so growing grain wasn't very successful. Her family looked after the animals very well, they had good milk cows. They never had more than eight or ten cows. They separated the milk and sold the cream which was quite an income for the summer months. When they shipped eight cans of cream, they got \"quite a nice cheque\". The summers were \"very, very nice\" because they had a vegetable garden. They also raised chickens for eggs and eventually for meat. They made butter and cottage cheese. Whereas the summers were \"great\", the winters were a \"different story\". The chickens stopped laying eggs just before Christmas because it was too cold. The cows stopped giving milk for three or four months because the calving period was coming. They butchered a pig in winter but they couldn't go very far with the meat. Burtnik recalls that she doesn't know how her mother \"put this food together, and everything was always so tasty and so good\". Her mother stored potatoes, turnips and beets in the cellar. They also hunted rabbits.\nBurtnik's mother did a lot of berry picking (raspberries, pincherries, Saskatoon berries) but she didn't always have the money for the sugar to can them. Her mother also picked mushrooms and dried them, and they ate them on Christmas Eve supper.

The school was close, so they would come home for lunch in summertime. In the wintertime, they took bread smeared with lard as lunch to school. If they were lucky, they poured syrup on their bread.\nThey grew barley, wheat and oats on their farm. (Burtnik's husband tells her that he is going out for a few minutes.)\nBurtnik explains that they kept seeds from one year to another. The threshing was done with threshing machines. They had a \"gang of workers\". First of all, the grain was cut and made up into sheaves, then the sheaves were picked up and put into the threshing machine, and the seeds were separated from the straw. There was one person who owned a threshing machine in a big community, and they would go from place to place to do the threshing. Her parents were lucky as they eventually could buy some machinery themselves which was pulled by a team of horses. \nBurtnik describes her parents' vegetable garden. They planted a lot of root plants like turnips or potatoes. It was mostly her mother who cared for the garden but she was helped by her children. She describes in detail how the garden was planted in spring and prepared for the next season in fall. They stored the vegetables in their root cellar. They made a big barrel of sauerkraut. They just left it outside, it would freeze and that is how it was kept. They went out and chipped the frozen sauerkraut with an axe. Burtnik states that her mother was able to cook a meal out of \"almost nothing\". There were nine people in the family.\nThere were families that were better off than Burtnik's parents, they had more land and cattle than her parents had. On the average, a lot of the homesteaders were poor.

They had dances which are still danced today, for instance the polka or waltz. Burtnik states that there may be some new dances today but she isn't too interested in contemporary dances. They had some good dancers in their community. Two of her brothers played in the band (the violin and the guitar). The band consisted of three to four persons, and they played dances. The banjo and the accordion were also played. They also played the tsymbaly (cimbalom). Asked about what kind of music they played, Burtnik explains that it was a mixture of Ukrainian and Western music.

The preparations would last for three days, they would make holubtsi, pyrohy, and they would roast or fry chickens, and they would probably butcher a pig.

The night before, the bride and the bridesmaids would gather and make a wreath (vinok) for the bride. She never attended such a gathering herself.

The bridesmaids had nice dresses too. The groom and the best man had bouquets, and the girls carried little bouquets.\nWhen it came to the wedding ceremony in the church, Burtnik recalls that it depended on what the family requested: Some weddings consisted just of the vows while other had some liturgy involved.There was always the exchange of the rings.\nWhen the bride and groom arrived, the mother of the bride as well as the groom's family met them with bread and salt. This tradition is still respected today: Burtnik attended a wedding a few days ago, and that was practised, there was salt and kolachi.\nBurtnik explains that people who had a camera took pictures at weddings.\nThe wedding receptions consisted of \"a lot of food and drink\" according to Burtnik. There was the perepii, the presentation, and dancing.\nThe typical wedding meal was comprised of chicken soup with homemade noodles, sometimes also borshch. They also had pyrozhky (pyrohy) filled with potatoes, pork and vegetables.\nWedding gifts were \"of course simple\". Burtnik herself, for instance, got a bowl and some dishes. When she was young, mostly money was given as a wedding gift. The bride's mother would always provide pillows and quilts. After WW II, things changed profoundly. Back then, a live chicken was brought as gift, and the bride held it in her arms.\nSummer was the most popular time for weddings as the receptions were held outside and there was no space inside the homes. Halls weren't that comfortable in the wintertime either as they weren't heated. In some cases, the wedding celebration lasted for two or three days but in most cases, it didn't last longer than two days.\nBurtnik doesn't remember any wedding of people with different nationalities in her community. However, marriages between people of Ukrainian and English, German or Polish background happened but not too often. She never attended such a wedding but if a German married a Ukrainian girl, it would be a Ukrainian wedding.\nBurtnik doesn't have any special memories of weddings she attended.","format":"text/plain","label":{"en":["Synopsis"]}}],"target":"https://ualberta.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1776/collection_resources/58580/file/132644#t=203.0,761.0"},{"id":"https://ualberta.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1776/collection_resources/58580/file/132644/index/52434/annotation/7","type":"Annotation","motivation":"supplementing","body":[{"type":"TextualBody","value":"chickens","format":"text/plain","label":{"en":["Subjects"]}},{"type":"TextualBody","value":"church weddings","format":"text/plain","label":{"en":["Subjects"]}},{"type":"TextualBody","value":"dance","format":"text/plain","label":{"en":["Subjects"]}},{"type":"TextualBody","value":"gifts","format":"text/plain","label":{"en":["Subjects"]}},{"type":"TextualBody","value":"suits","format":"text/plain","label":{"en":["Subjects"]}},{"type":"TextualBody","value":"wedding dresses","format":"text/plain","label":{"en":["Subjects"]}},{"type":"TextualBody","value":"wedding receptions","format":"text/plain","label":{"en":["Subjects"]}}],"target":"https://ualberta.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1776/collection_resources/58580/file/132644#t=203.0,761.0"},{"id":"https://ualberta.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1776/collection_resources/58580/file/132644/index/52434/annotation/8","type":"Annotation","motivation":"supplementing","body":[{"type":"TextualBody","value":"kolachi","format":"text/plain","label":{"en":["Keywords"]}},{"type":"TextualBody","value":"wedding tree","format":"text/plain","label":{"en":["Keywords"]}}],"target":"https://ualberta.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1776/collection_resources/58580/file/132644#t=203.0,761.0"},{"id":"https://ualberta.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1776/collection_resources/58580/file/132644/index/52434/annotation/9","type":"Annotation","motivation":"supplementing","body":[{"type":"TextualBody","value":"Services, stores and community life in Stornoway and Wroxton, Saskatchewan","format":"text/plain","label":{"en":["Title"]}}],"target":"https://ualberta.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1776/collection_resources/58580/file/132644#t=761.0,1123.0"},{"id":"https://ualberta.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1776/collection_resources/58580/file/132644/index/52434/annotation/10","type":"Annotation","motivation":"supplementing","body":[{"type":"TextualBody","value":"In the community Burtnik grew up, there was a Greek Catholic as well as an Orthodox church.

In Alberta, things were better, and services were held once a week or once in two weeks.\nBurtnik grew up between the towns of Stornoway and Wroxton, Saskatchewan, and there were stores in both towns but in Wroxton, there were a little bit more. The stores in Stornoway carried everything, groceries and clothing alike; they were called general stores. The post office for their family was in Stornoway. There were also grain elevators, a hall and a school. The same applied to Wroxton but the town had also a liquor board whereas Stornoway didn't. Whatever they needed was there, and \"for bigger and better things\", they went to Yorkton, Saskatchewan.\nBurtnik recalls that her brother bought a car the year she left home. Their neighbour also had a car but in general, not too many people did. They were sometimes lucky to get a ride. Yorkton was 24 miles away, and that's where the mill was located. In fall after threshing, Burtnik's parents took sacks of wheat to the mill and had it milled for flour.\nThere weren't any hotels neither in Wroxton, nor in Stornoway, \"and that's odd\".

There was a Catholic as well as an Orthodox cemetery.\nThere were community halls in both towns but in wintertime, they used the school for events.\nThe nearest police station was in Yorkton.

Asked about whether sisterhoods existed in the community Burtnik was growing up in Saskatchewan, Burtnik explains that most of these sisterhoods were organized later when she was already living in Edmonton. Ukrainian Catholic brotherhoods were organized earlier. But even without formal women's organizations, the women played a paramount role in the life of Ukrainian Catholic parishes: Women acted as fundraisers and did a lot of work.\nThe interviewer thanks Burtnik for the \"very interesting presentation\" on the Ukrainian Catholic Women's League of Canada. Burtnik repeats again that women were the \"backbone\" of parishes that wouldn't exist without the women's involvement.\nBurtnik highlights once again the important role of women in community life, in Canada in general and in Alberta in particular. Burtnik states that the women deserve more credit than they are given by the Catholic church. She is an honorary member of the Ukrainian Catholic Women's League of Canada as she was active in the League for over five decades. She can't believe that she has been active for such a long time. She gained and learned a lot thanks to the League, not least to read and write in Ukrainian. The interviewer praises again Burtnik's Ukrainian (in English). Burtnik explains that she had a mentor, Irene (Iryna) Pavlykovska, a \"newcomer\" who came after WW II) and who helped her to improve her Ukrainian. Pavlykovska had been very active back in Ukraine and in the DP camps in Germany and had some law training. She served as national president of the Ukrainian Catholic Women's League of Canada. Burtnik explains how the national committee was organized and how congresses were held.

The meat froze there and that's how it was preserved in winter. Her mother also canned pork and chicken in jars. Her mother learned that from younger women, and she loved canning. (Burtnik asks the interviewer if she ever ate chicken from a jar. The interviewer says yes.) \nCream and butter was preserved in a big container with a rope on it and let down into the well. Later on, when she already had moved out, her parents had an ice house, the ice was preserved in straw.\nBurtnik's mother baked bread twice a week. Her mother didn't have a pich (Ukrainian-style clay oven) but an oven. Her mother never used any recipes for cooking, she cooked by taste. Burtnik sometimes cries when she thinks about how much there is available today for cooking whereas her mother had only salt, pepper and sometimes some spices like cinnamon but not too many because she couldn't afford it.\nAsked about what her parents purchased at the store, Burtnik recalls that they bought some baloney in Wroxton which was \"a real treat\". They bought also garlic sausage rings. Apart from that, they also bought sugar, salt, rice, cornmeal and sometimes sardines in the summertime when they got a cheque for the cream. Sometimes they also bought lard but not too much because they had their own when they butchered a pig. In the fall, they would also buy a box of apples. That was the only fruit she remembers except for wild fruit. For Christmas Eve, her parents would also buy dried fruit.\nBurtnik recalls that the Sunday meals were special.

The side with the melted wax was put into the ear and that's how infections in the ear were treated.\nHer mother used cow cream to treat chapped feet and hands. She used cream also for burns.\nHer mother prayed a lot, and nothing tragic happened in their family. However, there was one incident. When one of her brothers was about 16, he got a serious infection in his leg. Some of the infected bone was chipped out but after a year or two, the infection came back. When he was about 18, the doctors sent him to Winnipeg, and there he underwent surgery, his whole leg was opened, and he was healed. The family was very afraid that her brother might loose his leg. Burtnik credits the doctor for sending her brother to Winnipeg because her parents didn't have any money to pay for the treatment.\nBurtnik remembers that one boy in her community got very sick in the winter. It took some time to bring him to hospital in Yorkton but it was too late: His appendix raptured, and he died.

The school started a nine, there was a break of one hour at twelve, and then lessons continued until four o'clock. It was a one room-school. Eight grades were taught, and about three students including herself took grade 9 and 10 via correspondence courses. Burtnik asks the interviewer if she can imagine to concentrate under such conditions, and the interviewer states that she has heard such stories many times and she can't imagine to concentrate. Burtnik can't recall the term \"correspondence\", and the interviewer can't help her, she states that in Ukraine, it's called \"distant education\". In the classroom, there were desks and seats attached to the desks. The room was heated by a wood stove. Somebody in the district would be assigned to start a fire earlier in the morning. Burtnik can't remember that it was ever cold or drafty although there were windows on one side of the room. There was a well at school. There were about 50 students in the class room. There weren't that many schools then, the next school was maybe 10-15 miles away. Some of the boys \"were men\" because they had to stay longer in school as they didn't make the grades. That was a \"pretty tough situation for some teachers\". Burtnik states that today, a one room-school would be impossible as children wouldn't be quiet.\nAsked about the subjects, Burtnik recalls that there was arithmetics, spelling, history, geography. Today, history is called \"social studies\". (Burtnik asks the interviewer about school in Ukraine, and she briefly explains it. They continue with some small talk.)\nBurtnik recalls that text books were supplied by the school board. They only had to buy their own scribblers. Nobody was ever punished for speaking a language other than English in school. The teacher lived in the teacherage. They had both male and female teachers. She states that they had good teachers.

Some Germans were living 5-6 miles away but in the school, there were only Ukrainians: \"Strange world, strange times, eh, compared to today?\"\nThere were always Christmas concerts and plays held at school, and all the parents would attend. In summertimes, they had school picnics. Sometimes, the boys formed a baseball team and participated in a tournament. At picnics, they bought a cone of ice cream or a chocolate bar for 15 cents. If one had a quarter, that was great. Activities at picnics included ball games. They would also play skipping rope or pull the rope. The parents would sit around and talk to each other. There was a stand with ice cream, chocolate bars, pop and bananas.\nIn their community, there was a small group including some of her siblings who put on plays. The group was led by the man who wanted her to play the main role in \"Kateryna\". One of her brothers had a very good singing voice. There was a teacher from Yorkton who taught them the Ukrainian dancing. Burtnik danced a solo in the hall in Wroxton. She describes the dance and the melody.

The period was called the \"Dirty Thirties\".\nShe remembers that \"we had to do with less than we ever did before\". There were no jobs, and there was no progress in the province. It got much better when public health care started because people were just dying as they couldn't afford treatment.\nThe situation only changed with the outbreak of WW II. Factories started, and Canada supported the war effort by building parts for aeroplanes and tanks. Her sister who is still alive but dying in a nursing home went to Toronto and got a job in a factory where parts for planes were produced. With the onset of the war, there was a need a everything: \"It seemed that the war turned our depression right over\".\nWith the war, the Ukrainians improved their status in Canada, it didn't matter anymore that their names ended with a \"-chak\" or \"-ski\". Before the war, it was different. Burtnik's brother, for instance, the one with the troubled leg, moved to Winnipeg and got a job with the fire fighters. He did very well and was told that he would get the position of the chief fire fighter of Winnipeg but not with a name like Swidzinski. So, her brother dropped the name Swidzinski and changed his name to \"Swiss\". This happened right after the war, i. e. there was still some discrimination.

They were filled with sauerkraut and probably cottage cheese which was against the tradition because no dairy products should be used on Christmas Eve. Burtnik does use milk products today on Christmas Eve (yellow cheese for the pyrohy). Her mother's niece who was living four miles away would come over to help her mother with the pyrohy. Her father would bring in sheaves of wheat and put them in the corner. He would also bring in hay which was spread not only under the table but over the whole room. There were nine people in the family, and the same number of guests came for supper although there weren't so many chairs to sit. There were peanuts and candies, and they were scattered over the hay. Burtnik recalls that it was always very still outside and very happy inside on Christmas Eve. The food was delicious, and they sang carols. The next day (December 25th), her mother would be at the stove again because her parents' friends were coming. Burtnik helped her mother a lot at the age of 10 or so.
