A Conversation with Passamaquoddy Community Scholars |

Abstract: How may ethnomusicologists partner as consultants to musicians and community scholars in Native and other ethnic communities who seek their advice in helping conserve and renew traditional musical practices? Maine Passamaquoddy Newell and Sockabasin, and Brown ethomusicologist Jeff Todd Titon, discuss the consequences among the Passamaquoddy of musical repatriation of copies of the wax cylinder recordings made in 1890 at Calais, Maine, by J. Walter Fewkes. These are the first field recordings of Native American music and contain Passamaquoddy songs, tales, and language.
