Charles joined with several dozen people from around the country in the Fifth Annual Kalevalathon, a public reading of the entire Kalevala, the national epic poem of Finland. Charles took part in today's event by reading Rune 25. The event, hosted by Finlandia University (Hancock, Michigan) was a fun way to participate in Charles' cultural identity.
First published in 1835, the Kalevala emerged from the oral tradition of the Finnish people and the epic was a significant contribution to the development of the Finnish identity.
