Historic recordings of Maine’s Passamaquoddy Tribe restored more than a century later

Uncategorized Posted: October 29, 2019 8:11 pm

“Nearly 130 years ago, a Harvard anthropologist visited Calais, Maine, a town on the border with Canada, and recorded songs, words and stories from members of the Passamaquoddy Tribe. For years, these field recordings, some of the oldest in the world, were largely hidden from public view. Now more than a century later, the recordings have been digitally enhanced and shared with the tribe. The Passamaquoddy are working to interpret and present them.” (video) – PBS NewsHour
