Ten years later, she gave it back. Our school has Multicultural Day every year when everyone can dress up to represent their heritage. The Americans always end up in jeans and a flag T (one very creative teacher had a prairie pioneer outfit she would wear). I was thinking that I was bored with that and why not dress up as something from my mixed cultural heritage? Also, I got into the Vikings TV series (although they play fairly loosely with the historicity of everything). Although mostly my heritage is British Isles, all my life I have received comments about my "Nordic" appearance; and we know the Northmen shared their DNA freely amongst those they raided.
So I'm web surfing and reading books about Vikings lately, and related cultures (Rus, Karelian, Finnish, etc), listening to Nordic music... and I will make that costume, complete with brooches and beads.
