HISTORICAL SKETCH

In 1967, a group of Estonians living in Canada and the United States established this non-political organization which brings together students and scholars of Estonian descent to study their heritage in an intensive week-long seminar. Since then, summer sessions in the Muskoka Lakes area of Ontario, Canada, have taken place every year.
