| It is the tales of hardship and humour of British Columbia's lesser known communities such as the Finns and the Hawaiians who came here in the 19th century and brought with them their folktales and traditions. |
| For instance, oral literature is one of the aspects of folklore, and by oral literature we mean such things as legends, tales, proverbs, sayings, dialect speech and folksongs. |
