Summary/Abstract: This article presents the results of ethnographic fieldwork in the light of which the value in the interactions between Lemkos and new settlers residing in the village Nowica is respect for diversity expressed by the distance maintained. The new settlers are known, tolerated but treated with an exempting from the life of the community contempt. Not having access to the deepest resources of Lemko culture, they do not identify themselves with the actually existing the Lemko community, but imaginary, mythologized Lemko culture.
