Sniatyn oli viime vuosisadalla köyhää aluetta, josta myös erittäin suuri määrä ukrainalaisia muutti ulkomaille 1900 aikaan Itä- Euroopan kurimuksesta. - kuten suomalisiakin Suomesta.

KERTOMUS:
Yuri Vyrostok tells the story of his immigration to Canada and first experiences in a new country.
A LIFE'S EXPERIENCES
The early 1900's saw the exodus of countless Ukrainian emigres from the
Sniatyn District of Western Ukraine. They left their native villages of
Zavalia, Tulov, Ustya, Rusiv, and our village, Beleluya. This exodus
began in 1902. Why were we leaving our native land for a far-off,
unknown territory? We were running away from poverty and a hand-to-mouth
existence. Some left for other European countries, some for the United
States, some to Brazil and Argentina - and all to earn enough for a
better life and to improve their lot.
Talk about Canada began in the final years of the 19th century. At the
same time there was talk of the division of feudal lands. They probably
heard about Canada from those first emigrants from Nebiliw (Eleniak,
Pylypiw and others), or from the various steamship agencies. About the
division of land, they heard from students who listened to speeches by
Mykhailo Pavlyk, Ivan Franko, VasyI Stefanyk, Marko Cheremshyna, Kyrylo
Trylowsky and other public figures."
