-Why did your parents come to Canada?	0:00:03	0:00:06
-Well, things in Patagonia -looked quite grim.	0:00:07	0:00:11
-Voices from the past.	0:00:12	0:00:14
-Welsh speakers who -left Patagonia in South America...	0:00:15	0:00:19
-..to live in western Canada in 1974.	0:00:19	0:00:22
-What do you remember -about school in Patagonia?	0:00:24	0:00:28
-Everybody looked at -the Argentine flag and said...	0:00:28	0:00:31
-SPEAKS SPANISH	0:00:32	0:00:34
-But perhaps they were -no longer Welsh-speaking Welsh....	0:00:35	0:00:39
-..but Argentineans -of Welsh descent...	0:00:39	0:00:42
-..because -they left Patagonia in 1902...	0:00:42	0:00:44
-..and emigrated to Canada.	0:00:45	0:00:48
-For my father, he did not want to -stay under the Argentine government.	0:00:48	0:00:53
-The Welsh-speaking Welsh -who had never lived in Wales.	0:00:53	0:00:58
-In 1974, I had the opportunity...	0:01:10	0:01:13
-..to travel all over Canada...	0:01:13	0:01:17
-..and I did 8,000 miles in total...	0:01:17	0:01:19
-..and visited the Welsh community -who lived in Canada.	0:01:20	0:01:23
-It was Glenys James' task to gather -information about the Welsh...	0:01:24	0:01:28
-..who lived in Canada -by recording interviews...	0:01:28	0:01:31
-..with as many of them as possible -for the Museum of Man in Quebec...	0:01:31	0:01:36
-..that was collating data -on all the different nations...	0:01:36	0:01:40
-..who had migrated to Canada.	0:01:40	0:01:42
-I arrived in Saskatchewan...	0:01:42	0:01:44
-..where the largest -Welsh community had settled.	0:01:45	0:01:49
-They had all come from Argentina...	0:01:49	0:01:51
-..in 1902.	0:01:52	0:01:55
-Now then, Mrs Humphreys...	0:01:55	0:01:57
-..you were born in Patagonia.	0:01:57	0:01:59
-Yes, in Llannerch Ddu.	0:02:00	0:02:02
-In which year?	0:02:02	0:02:04
-In which year? - -1883.	0:02:04	0:02:06
-I think my father, for one thing, -didn't like the irrigating.	0:02:06	0:02:10
-He didn't have enough water.	0:02:10	0:02:12
-Mrs Humphreys was a young woman -when she left Patagonia in 1902.	0:02:14	0:02:18
-She lived in Chubut Province, at -the extreme end of the water table.	0:02:19	0:02:23
-Often, there was no water left -in the ditches for their crops.	0:02:23	0:02:28
-Her father -saw no harvest for three years.	0:02:28	0:02:32
-The Argentine government -was keen for the settlers...	0:02:33	0:02:37
-..to become -part of their new country.	0:02:37	0:02:40
-This meant -the end of Welsh-medium education...	0:02:40	0:02:43
-..something that had thrived since -the colony was founded in 1865.	0:02:44	0:02:49
-Each class would stand in a line...	0:02:53	0:02:55
-..and everyone took off their cap...	0:02:56	0:02:58
-..looked at -the Argentine flag and said...	0:02:58	0:03:02
-SPEAKS SPANISH	0:03:02	0:03:04
-The boys, -when they came of age at 18...	0:03:10	0:03:14
-..they enrolled them into the army, -and Father didn't want that.	0:03:15	0:03:19
-He said, "I wouldn't mind if it was -just the British or the Americans...	0:03:19	0:03:23
-"..but not for the Spanish army."	0:03:24	0:03:26
-Margaret Ann Lewis' parents were -part of the largest contingent...	0:03:26	0:03:31
-..to leave Wales for Patagonia.	0:03:31	0:03:33
-More than 400 -sailed on the Vesta in 1886.	0:03:33	0:03:36
-But the Promised Land -was full of disappointment.	0:03:36	0:03:40
-It was an empty promise, in truth.	0:03:40	0:03:42
-Father was one of the first ones -going into the valley...	0:03:42	0:03:46
-..and he was promised -a piece of land that he never got.	0:03:46	0:03:49
-The pilgrims who went to Patagonia -saw themselves as a biblical tribe.	0:03:51	0:03:56
-A tribe of people -scraping a living in the wilderness.	0:03:57	0:04:01
-In 1899, tragedy struck, -like something out of the Bible...	0:04:01	0:04:06
-..as the Chubut River flooded...	0:04:06	0:04:08
-..forcing the Welsh -to flee to the hills.	0:04:09	0:04:12
-Many homes disappeared underwater...	0:04:12	0:04:15
-..and it was years before they -regained fertile soil to grow crops.	0:04:15	0:04:21
-This, above all else, -gave rise to a number of them...	0:04:21	0:04:25
-..leaving South America -for the far north.	0:04:25	0:04:28
-The biggest thing for my father...	0:04:30	0:04:34
-..he didn't want to stay -under the Argentine government.	0:04:35	0:04:39
-He didn't like them. He hadn't -taken Argentine citizenship.	0:04:39	0:04:44
-He remained British throughout.	0:04:44	0:04:47
-There was sadness and unrest -in the colony by 1900.	0:04:48	0:04:53
-Applications were made -to the Westminster government...	0:04:53	0:04:57
-..requesting it to intervene.	0:04:57	0:04:59
-The British government -was ready to listen.	0:04:59	0:05:02
-They wanted the settlers -to return to the Empire...	0:05:03	0:05:07
-..of which Canada was a part.	0:05:07	0:05:10
-Canada had acres -of unpopulated territories...	0:05:10	0:05:13
-..and the Patagonians -wanted fertile soil to farm.	0:05:13	0:05:17
-The British government -was happy to help...	0:05:17	0:05:20
-..offering them -affordable land in Canada...	0:05:20	0:05:23
-..at a time -when so many families were unhappy.	0:05:23	0:05:26
-There's no wonder that 234 of them -agreed to move to Canada.	0:05:27	0:05:31
-Those who wished to leave South -America were offered a ticket...	0:05:32	0:05:37
-..to sail all the way to Liverpool -and then onwards to Quebec...	0:05:37	0:05:41
-..for the price -of five pounds per family.	0:05:42	0:05:45
-It was a bargain for a new life.	0:05:45	0:05:47
-Among the passengers were -John Coslett Thomas and his family.	0:05:48	0:05:52
-The Welsh were so disheartened...	0:05:54	0:05:56
-..that so many of us -were leaving together.	0:05:57	0:06:00
-They accompanied us -to Puerto Madryn...	0:06:00	0:06:03
-..as many adults as passengers.	0:06:03	0:06:05
-And to Trelew before that, -many more of all ages.	0:06:05	0:06:08
-There was much sobbing -as we bid farewell in both places.	0:06:08	0:06:12
-May 14, 1902.	0:06:13	0:06:15
-How did you come, as a family?	0:06:18	0:06:21
-More than 200 of us came together.	0:06:21	0:06:25
-234 families came.	0:06:25	0:06:29
-We were given cheap travel...	0:06:30	0:06:33
-..and didn't have to -go through customs at all.	0:06:33	0:06:37
-All you had to do was label -your belongings, "settlers effects".	0:06:37	0:06:41
-You didn't -have to open a box or anything.	0:06:41	0:06:44
-We boarded the ship -the night before...	0:06:46	0:06:49
-..and on the morning of the 13th -it was my 18th birthday.	0:06:49	0:06:53
-We were leaving Liverpool -on my birthday.	0:06:53	0:06:56
-I remember a five-year-old child -being buried at sea...	0:07:02	0:07:05
-..between Liverpool and Canada.	0:07:05	0:07:08
-I remember the ship's captain -singing in Welsh.	0:07:08	0:07:11
-They sung -Yn y Dyfroedd Mawr a'r Tonnau.	0:07:11	0:07:15
-Hearing these voices is captivating.	0:07:15	0:07:18
-Eyewitnesses to a harsh history...	0:07:18	0:07:21
-..including a sad story -of a child dying at sea.	0:07:21	0:07:24
-These passengers -were part of a colony...	0:07:24	0:07:27
-..and now -they were going to create a new one.	0:07:28	0:07:30
-Filled with both fear and hope...	0:07:31	0:07:33
-..they turned their sights -to a new horizon.	0:07:33	0:07:36
-The future.	0:07:37	0:07:39
-This is what the president -of Winnipeg's Welsh Society...	0:07:39	0:07:43
-..had to say on 25 June 1902.	0:07:43	0:07:47
-"More than -200 of Patagonia's Welsh settlers...	0:07:47	0:07:50
-"..arrived in the city.	0:07:51	0:07:53
-"They looked tired -after their journey.	0:07:53	0:07:56
-"During the long voyage, three -children died and four were born.	0:07:56	0:08:00
-"The men looked good -but the women looked exhausted.	0:08:01	0:08:04
-"They all looked like brave souls, -especially the women."	0:08:04	0:08:08
-And then you boarded the train -to Saltcoats.	0:08:17	0:08:21
-And onwards from Saltcoats, -we travelled 12 miles.	0:08:21	0:08:27
-We lived in tents...	0:08:27	0:08:29
-..for some, oh, five weeks.	0:08:30	0:08:33
-Enough time for people to find farms -and modes of transport.	0:08:35	0:08:40
-Some had oxen, some had horses -and wagons to take them around.	0:08:40	0:08:44
-Each one -went to his own smallholding.	0:08:47	0:08:50
-We must've been there -six weeks or more.	0:08:50	0:08:54
-Nain and Taid Evans -came out in 1902...	0:08:55	0:09:00
-..to Saltcoats, Saskatchewan.	0:09:01	0:09:04
-They lived in tents for -the first summer when they arrived.	0:09:04	0:09:09
-The first winter, -they built their homes from logs.	0:09:09	0:09:14
-Each of the houses -was made out of logs.	0:09:14	0:09:17
-That's how those homesteaders lived -in the early years.	0:09:18	0:09:23
-During winter they had to -clear the snow to get out...	0:09:23	0:09:28
-..because it was -higher than the front door.	0:09:28	0:09:31
-They stood on top of a chair -to get out to feed the animals.	0:09:31	0:09:36
-They had an awful time -the first winter they were there.	0:09:36	0:09:40
-The weather was very different.	0:09:40	0:09:43
-I'm sure it was.	0:09:43	0:09:45
-We hadn't seen snow.	0:09:45	0:09:47
-You'd never seen snow?	0:09:47	0:09:48
-You'd never seen snow? - -Well, just a bit.	0:09:48	0:09:50
-You saw lots -when you arrived in Canada.	0:09:51	0:09:53
-Yes, we saw lots.	0:09:53	0:09:55
-People had a hard time -when they first come out to Canada.	0:09:58	0:10:01
-They weren't prepared -for the severe winters.	0:10:02	0:10:05
-We thought -we were bringing warm coats out...	0:10:05	0:10:08
-..from Patagonia, -but they were summer coats...	0:10:08	0:10:12
-..compared to -the ones they used in Canada.	0:10:12	0:10:15
-Four colonies -had been earmarked for the Welsh.	0:10:16	0:10:19
-Each family -was given 160 acres of land.	0:10:19	0:10:22
-It wasn't very fertile land...	0:10:22	0:10:24
-..and many areas -were too wet to farm.	0:10:24	0:10:28
-These people knew -how to deal with life's trials...	0:10:28	0:10:31
-..having lived in Patagonia, -where the wind was brutal...	0:10:31	0:10:35
-..and the sun scorched the land.	0:10:36	0:10:38
-They needed -every ounce of expertise...	0:10:38	0:10:41
-..to tame -the unfamiliar landscape...	0:10:41	0:10:44
-..to create new homes in Canada.	0:10:44	0:10:46
-The early period was very hard.	0:10:46	0:10:49
-In January 1903, -six months after they arrived...	0:10:49	0:10:52
-..a list was compiled -of those who were most in need.	0:10:53	0:10:56

-In 1902, 234 adults and children...	0:11:05	0:11:08
-..left Patagonia for Saskatchewan...	0:11:09	0:11:12
-..in Canada...	0:11:12	0:11:14
-..to create -a better life for themselves.	0:11:15	0:11:17
-The Welsh helped each other.	0:11:18	0:11:20
-If someone -was going to buy a cow or a steer...	0:11:20	0:11:25
-..people would go together.	0:11:25	0:11:28
-They were allowed 160 acres, but -in order to fully acquire them...	0:11:28	0:11:34
-..30 acres had to be farmed -within three years.	0:11:34	0:11:38
-They had to live there for -no less than six months of the year.	0:11:39	0:11:42
-If they -didn't plough their farmland...	0:11:42	0:11:45
-..they'd -lose their right to the land.	0:11:46	0:11:48
-John Coslett Thomas again.	0:11:49	0:11:51
-A good crop again in the third year.	0:11:51	0:11:54
-Now farming on too big a scale...	0:11:54	0:11:57
-..to continue -with only one set of machinery.	0:11:57	0:12:00
-After taking ownership of his land, -John opened a store in Saltcoats.	0:12:03	0:12:09
-The community was expanding -and trading opportunities arose.	0:12:09	0:12:14
-The country was opening up as Welsh -communities settled in the west.	0:12:14	0:12:19
-Towns like Llywelyn, -Bangor Glyndwr and St David.	0:12:20	0:12:23
-But these weren't unpopulated areas.	0:12:23	0:12:26
-People had settled here long before -the Welsh or the white man.	0:12:26	0:12:31
-You were the first -to come to Bangor?	0:12:31	0:12:34
-Yes, that's right. -My father first came here in 1908.	0:12:34	0:12:40
-My father named it Bangor...	0:12:40	0:12:43
-..because -he was from Bangor, North Wales.	0:12:43	0:12:46
-Mr Lewis was a carpenter, -and it was he who built...	0:12:46	0:12:51
-..Bangor, Attwater and Llywelyn.	0:12:51	0:12:55
-Bangor -was first established in 1908.	0:12:55	0:12:59
-Before that, we went to Saltcoats -to buy our goods...	0:13:00	0:13:03
-..which was 18 miles away.	0:13:03	0:13:05
-Thomas Hughes came here in 1906.	0:13:07	0:13:09
-In 1907, he moved -across the road to Barnes Hall.	0:13:10	0:13:15
-He built a house there -and kept a store, a butcher's shop.	0:13:16	0:13:21
-He travelled around...	0:13:23	0:13:26
-..with a buggy.	0:13:26	0:13:28
-He sold meat, some groceries...	0:13:28	0:13:31
-..candy and pop.	0:13:32	0:13:35
-A lot of the meat -looked a little old...	0:13:35	0:13:39
-..by the time it came back...	0:13:39	0:13:41
-..after being -out in the sun all day.	0:13:42	0:13:45
-But there was more to life -than work, farming and building.	0:13:45	0:13:50
-The Welsh had transferred -their customs from Wales...	0:13:50	0:13:53
-..to South America, and then Canada.	0:13:54	0:13:57
-You went to the Welsh chapel?	0:13:57	0:13:59
-Well, not right away, -I don't think.	0:13:59	0:14:03
-In Patagonia, of course, -we went to chapel three times a day.	0:14:03	0:14:08
-Morning, noon and evening.	0:14:09	0:14:11
-But in this country, we didn't -have a chapel for a long while.	0:14:12	0:14:17
-Sunday school -was conducted in Welsh...	0:14:19	0:14:23
-..apart from one English class.	0:14:24	0:14:26
-The men -were on one side of the chapel...	0:14:26	0:14:30
-..and the women in the middle.	0:14:30	0:14:32
-The English class was held -on the other side of the chapel.	0:14:32	0:14:38
-People found this odd.	0:14:38	0:14:41
-All the men were on one side -of the chapel and the women...	0:14:41	0:14:46
-..were sitting in another section.	0:14:47	0:14:50
-We liked the arrangement...	0:14:51	0:14:53
-..because we could sing better.	0:14:53	0:14:56
-We had support -in the tenor and bass sections.	0:14:56	0:15:02
-But it soon became apparent...	0:15:04	0:15:07
-..that there -wouldn't be a colony in Canada...	0:15:07	0:15:10
-..like the one -they left in Patagonia.	0:15:10	0:15:13
-The Welsh language -was sure to drown...	0:15:13	0:15:16
-..in an English-speaking country.	0:15:16	0:15:19
-Yet everyone -knew the importance of an education.	0:15:20	0:15:23
-Within two years they'd -built a school for the children.	0:15:23	0:15:27
-William Davies -recalls the first morning...	0:15:27	0:15:30
-..and the linguistic problems.	0:15:30	0:15:33
-There were 30 -starting school that morning...	0:15:33	0:15:37
-..ranging in age -from six to 15, 16.	0:15:37	0:15:41
-You could count on one hand -how many of them understood English.	0:15:42	0:15:46
-The rest of us knew no English.	0:15:46	0:15:49
-Most of us spoke Spanish.	0:15:49	0:15:51
-We went to school.	0:15:52	0:15:54
-Welsh to start with...	0:15:54	0:15:56
-..and then Spanish.	0:15:56	0:15:59
-When we came to Canada, -we had to learn English.	0:15:59	0:16:03
-So we had -some kind of three languages...	0:16:04	0:16:06
-..and not one proper language.	0:16:07	0:16:09
-I remember -the eisteddfodau at school...	0:16:12	0:16:15
-..at Magic School...	0:16:15	0:16:17
-..when I was a child.	0:16:18	0:16:20
-Competition. And recitations.	0:16:20	0:16:24
-Solos. Competition.	0:16:24	0:16:26
-Everything was competitions, -most in Welsh.	0:16:27	0:16:30
-Was it just the children -who competed, or did the adults too?	0:16:30	0:16:35
-No, some adults too -but mostly children.	0:16:35	0:16:38
-The Welsh create an eisteddfod -and compete wherever they go.	0:16:39	0:16:42
-Who'd have thought!	0:16:43	0:16:44
-As Glenys James -interviewed them in Canada...	0:16:45	0:16:48
-..memories of Patagonia -were recalled.	0:16:48	0:16:51
-Nine years before that...	0:16:51	0:16:53
-..many interviewees -visited Patagonia...	0:16:53	0:16:56
-..as part of -the centenary celebrations.	0:16:56	0:17:00
-For William Davies, -it was an impoverished sight.	0:17:00	0:17:05
-It's humble there. I wouldn't -want to live there any more.	0:17:05	0:17:09
-You're happy that you left?	0:17:09	0:17:11
-Yes, very happy. It's much better -for us here in many ways.	0:17:11	0:17:16
-Naturally, this triggered memories -of the colony for William Davies...	0:17:19	0:17:24
-..who'd heard so much -about his father's early life.	0:17:24	0:17:28
-My father went there as a boy -of five and a half years.	0:17:30	0:17:35
-My grandmother died -a few weeks after landing there.	0:17:35	0:17:40
-She's buried -somewhere on the beach near Madryn.	0:17:40	0:17:44
-Nobody knows where.	0:17:44	0:17:46
-My grandfather died -about two years later.	0:17:46	0:17:51
-Nobody knows what they suffered.	0:17:52	0:17:54
-Your father?	0:17:54	0:17:56
-Yes, and the first settlers.	0:17:56	0:17:58
-I remember him saying, "No-one knows -how much they suffered."	0:17:59	0:18:03
-At the time of the Great Depression -of the '30s, he'd say...	0:18:03	0:18:07
-.."Don't talk to me about hard -times. You know nothing about it.	0:18:07	0:18:12
-"You don't know -what hard times are."	0:18:12	0:18:14
-Oral tradition -can bring the past to life.	0:18:15	0:18:19
-It's a means of passing on the story -from one generation to the other.	0:18:19	0:18:24
-We can listen to these voices now...	0:18:24	0:18:26
-..and swear that we're -hearing our forefathers speaking.	0:18:27	0:18:31
-These voices -belong to brave souls...	0:18:31	0:18:34
-..who ventured to Canada, -not knowing what awaited them...	0:18:34	0:18:38
-..to establish a new Welsh colony.	0:18:38	0:18:41
-They, of course, were the children -of those who had also ventured...	0:18:41	0:18:45
-..like the parents -of Margaret Lewis.	0:18:46	0:18:49
-They were -just married a day or so before...	0:18:49	0:18:52
-..and they'd heard of these -going to Patagonia.	0:18:52	0:18:56
-They said, "We'll sell out and go -with them to this new country...	0:18:56	0:19:00
-"..and make a start"	0:19:00	0:19:02
-So they got down there -and there was nothing in the port.	0:19:02	0:19:06
-Nothing there at all, -only a few corrugated zinc houses.	0:19:06	0:19:11
-Where were you born?	0:19:13	0:19:15
-In South America.	0:19:15	0:19:17
-What about Welsh? -Did you speak Welsh at home?	0:19:17	0:19:20
-Yes, we spoke Welsh at home.	0:19:21	0:19:22
-We went to Bangor...	0:19:23	0:19:26
-..and started mixing -with the English.	0:19:26	0:19:30
-We didn't -speak much Welsh after that.	0:19:31	0:19:33
-72 years had passed...	0:19:41	0:19:43
-..since these Patagonians -left Puerto Madryn...	0:19:44	0:19:47
-..and settled in Saskatchewan.	0:19:48	0:19:50
-Glenys James wanted to know...	0:19:51	0:19:53
-..what condition the Welsh was in -in western Canada.	0:19:53	0:19:57
-How many children did you have?	0:19:57	0:19:59
-Nine.	0:20:00	0:20:02
-Did you teach them Welsh?	0:20:02	0:20:05
-Oh, yes, they all spoke Welsh. -They still understand it.	0:20:05	0:20:09
-They've moved around -and married English people...	0:20:09	0:20:13
-..so they don't practise it now.	0:20:13	0:20:16
-Do they speak Welsh at all -when they come home?	0:20:16	0:20:20
-Very little.	0:20:20	0:20:22
-I asked one woman and she said, -"I always speak Welsh...	0:20:25	0:20:29
-"..when I phone -Mrs Humphreys or Mrs Morris."	0:20:29	0:20:33
-They contacted each other in Welsh.	0:20:33	0:20:36
-If they couldn't remember -the Welsh word for something...	0:20:37	0:20:41
-..they turned to Spanish.	0:20:41	0:20:44
-Do you think the Welsh are different -from the other founders in the area?	0:20:44	0:20:48
-Yes. The other founders retain -their language, but not the Welsh.	0:20:50	0:20:54
-How do you think your family -managed to maintain the language?	0:20:55	0:20:59
-We spoke it at home and -chapel services were in Welsh too.	0:21:01	0:21:05
-The story of the Welsh language -in this colony...	0:21:05	0:21:08
-..is sad, considerably sadder -than the colony in Patagonia...	0:21:09	0:21:13
-..for many reasons.	0:21:13	0:21:15
-The number of Welsh speakers -is small, too small...	0:21:15	0:21:18
-..and the presence of English -is too strong.	0:21:18	0:21:21
-Welsh society and culture -can't be sustained...	0:21:22	0:21:25
-..without a good nucleus -of Welsh speakers.	0:21:25	0:21:29
-Because he married -a girl from Patagonia, Megan...	0:21:31	0:21:35
-..John Thomas documented -the Canadian colony's history...	0:21:35	0:21:39
-..a continent away from the other.	0:21:39	0:21:41
-After the first war, -the colony went down.	0:21:43	0:21:47
-The men went away -and the colony weakened.	0:21:47	0:21:52
-As a result...	0:21:52	0:21:54
-..the eisteddfod -that used to be held in Bangor...	0:21:54	0:21:59
-..and the cymanfa ganu -came to an end.	0:21:59	0:22:02
-We used to sing -at people's gravesides.	0:22:02	0:22:05
-We'd sing the hymn -O Fryniau Caersalem Ceir Gweled.	0:22:05	0:22:09
-In the end, -only one or two would sing the hymn.	0:22:09	0:22:13
-Nobody else knew the words.	0:22:13	0:22:16
-We had to give up this ritual.	0:22:17	0:22:20
-When did this happen?	0:22:21	0:22:23
-Around 1945, 1946.	0:22:23	0:22:26
-After the war?	0:22:28	0:22:29
-After the war? - -Yes, after the war.	0:22:29	0:22:31
-We tried our best to keep it up...	0:22:31	0:22:33
-..but there weren't enough voices -to maintain it.	0:22:34	0:22:37
-Do you still feel -that you are Welsh?	0:22:40	0:22:42
-Very much so. That's one thing -that's in my blood.	0:22:43	0:22:46
-Emigrating to a world -that's hopefully better.	0:22:49	0:22:53
-For the immigrants, a combination -of experience and poverty.	0:22:53	0:22:58
-Concerns about their families -and nervous hope for the future.	0:22:58	0:23:02
-And the brave decision -to venture there in the first place.	0:23:03	0:23:06
-But it's impossible to settle -in a new country without changing.	0:23:07	0:23:11
-Changing identify -and, through that, changing oneself.	0:23:11	0:23:15
-These people aren't saying goodbye -to Wales but rather their Welshness.	0:23:15	0:23:20
-That's the price they must pay -for the right to choose a future.	0:23:20	0:23:24
-I was in a Welsh colony -all my life, you see.	0:23:24	0:23:27
