	Some Aspects of Lithuanian Folklore in Lithuania and the United States - Liubiniene, Kelly
		With regards to folklore, its studies were continued due primarily to the devotion of Lithuanian scholars and writers and the support they received in the academic community and the population at large.
		The questionnaires were administered to members of four folk groups in Lithuania and two folk groups in the United States: Blezdinga was founded in 1992, Volungė in 1981, Uosinta in 1979, Kupolė in 1983, and Aidas and Lietutis /Ūkana23 in 1981.
		Folklore has become the fashion, but as all fashions change, so has folklore to find its place among other things in the whole Lithuanian culture and must not be insistently thrusted into every commemoration of the victims or every sad or joyful occasion.
