Description
The Cultural Connections in the Park series occurs on select Wednesdays from June through September.
Dwayne Tomah, Passamaquoddy, will be hosting a talk and storytelling program regarding his work with the Passamaquoddy wax cylinders, which are the earliest known field recordings of Native Americans. These recordings, preserved on wax cylinders in 1890, include Passamaquoddy narratives, vocabulary, number lists, and songs. The Passamaquoddy Tribe and the Library of Congress have worked on restoring, digitizing, and revitalizing these recordings as digital repatriation.
All of these programs are sponsored by Dawnland, LLC, are offered in partnership with the Abbe Museum, and are free and open to the public.
