It's all part of a long legacy of diaspora. I'll admit I was a bit critical when auto play threw this at me, but it wasn't long before I myself got a bit choked up. I can see how impact it is to them to have this long awaited cultural reunion. Being an American I think it's important for all of us to know where we came from and appreciate the sacrifices our ancestors made in search for what was alluded to be a better life in this "new land". It doesn't make it any easier that many Norwegian families would have stayed if they could have. Norway was once a very poor country, something most would never guess today. I think wearing the Bunad is a way to reconcile a lost identity and embrace what your ancestors had been forced to leave, but in this modern sense to reclaim what was lost.

One can clearly see the ancient connection to the MIddle East and Central Asia, where the ancestors of all Europeans once migrated from, brought with them the knowledge of agriculture, the wheel and the horse, and mixed with the already existing population that had lived in Europe since the last Ice Age. DNA among other things proves this. For example a recent study here in Norway proved that 70-80% of all white ethnic Norwegian men can trace their DNA on their paternal side back to Central Asia, Turkey etc. I'm btw Norwegian, I grew up here, and live here still, and yes all my family, and relatives are white ethnic Norwegians!
