The Norwegian American Historical Association (NAHA) was founded by immigrants and their descendants more than a century ago to care for the stories of Norwegian America. We are committed to understanding migration movements of the past and connecting them to immigrant experiences today.
The NAHA Board opposes the ways the current federal government is abusing its authority by using immigration enforcement as an excuse to intimidate and terrorize communities, ignoring due process and constitutional rights. We stand in solidarity with our immigrant neighbors and invite you to read more about the past and present experiences of immigrants in North America from the following resources:
- Norwegian-American Studies
- MNopedia article “Immigrants and Refugees in Minnesota: Connecting Past and Present“
- Immigration History Research Center
