    REPORTS 155 The “Local Culture and Diversity on the Prairies” Project (1) Nadya Foty and Andriy Nahachewsky University of Alberta Edmonton, Alberta, Canada Introduction The Peter and Doris Kule Centre for Ukrainian and Canadian Folklore at the University of Alberta is in the process of concluding a project with several partners to record some 900 hours involving 2,000 interviews with people who remember life on the Canadian prairies prior to 1939. The project is called “Local Culture and Diversity on the Prairies” At the time of this writing, most of the interviews have been conducted but the compilation, coding, analysis and description of findings are still underway. For this reason, this essay takes the form of a personal perspective of the project, description of issues influencing project design, and a statement of aspirations rather than an authoritative reporting of its results. The aim of the project has been to document everyday life, ethnic identity and regional variation among people of Ukrainian, French, German and English heritage.(2) How did people from diverse backgrounds interact, adapt and become “prairie Canadians” in the first half of the twentieth century? What was the relationship between cultural inheritance and local community participation? How did they express their various identities on the local community level? What factors affected regional variation in these communities? The project is designed to generate a great deal of documentary information and primary archival resources for further research in many aspects of these people’s lives. Ethnographic research about ethnicity, integration and Canadianiza- tion as social processes in a given period is perhaps best conducted indirectly.

    European Folktales in Betsiamites Innu LYNN DRAPEAU AND MAGALI LACHAPELLE Université du Québec à Montréal INTRODUCTION1 This paper reports and analyzes tales of French origin gathered among the Innus (a.k.a. Montagnais) of Betsiamites in Quebec. Since anthropologists have mainly focused on Native tales told by the Innus, the widespread exis- tence of European tales in their repertoire was never fully acknowledged. As this paper will show, in Betsiamites at least, tales of European origin were widespread and fully integrated into the Native inventory. Nine different tales recorded in this community are analyzed for the purpose of this study and compared to their corresponding types in the latest index of world folk- lore (Uther 2004). The most striking feature is their adaptation to the Native cultural context. A detailed analysis of their sequences of events reveals how the tales were repackaged and reinterpreted with Indigenous heroes living alongside protagonists of European origin. We show how a subgroup of Innus settled along the St. Lawrence coast in the eighteenth century, called the Innus of the sea, are most probably responsible for the adoption and dissemination of those tales into the Betsiamites Innus’ repertoire. FRENCH TALES IN NORTH AMERICAN INDIGENOUS GROUPS This brief section cannot do justice to the wealth of data on European tales in North American Indigenous groups. For the purpose of the present study, we will restrict our overview to those which are most relevant to our study, namely tales of French origin with a focus on Algonquian groups. 1. Many thanks to José Mailhot as well as to two anonymous reviewers for helpful comments and suggestions.

  • Canadian and Russian Animation on Northern Aboriginal Folklore
    Canadian and Russian Animation on Northern Aboriginal Folklore Elena Korniakova A Thesis in The Individualized Program of The School of Graduate Studies Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts (Fine Arts) at Concordia University Montreal, Quebec, Canada September 2014 Elena Korniakova, 2014 CONCORDIA UNIVERSITY School of Graduate Studies This is to certify that the thesis prepared By: Elena Korniakova Entitled: Canadian and Russian Animation on Northern Aboriginal Folklore and submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirement for the degree of Master of Arts (Fine Arts) complies with the regulations of the University and meets the accepted standards with respect to originality and quality. Signed by the final Examining Committee: _________________________________Chair Chair's name _________________________________Examiner Examiner's name _________________________________Examiner Examiner's name _________________________________Supervisor Supervisor's name Approved by ______________________________________________________ Chair of Department or Graduate Program Director _____________2014 ____________________________________________________ Dean of Faculty -iii- ABSTRACT Canadian and Russian Animation on Northern Aboriginal Folklore Elena Korniakova Aboriginal legends depict the relationships between humans and nature as deeply symbolic and intertwined. When adapted to films by non-Aboriginal filmmakers, these legends are often interpreted in ways which modify human-nature relationships experienced by Aboriginal peoples. I explore such modifications by looking at Canadian and Russian ethnographic animation based on Northern Aboriginal folklore of the two countries. In my thesis, I concentrate on the analysis of ethno-historical and cinematic traditions of Canada and Russia. I also explore the Canadian and Russian conventions of animated folktales and compare ethnographic animation produced by the National Film Board of Canada and Russian animation studio Soyuzmultfilm.

  • Culture & Tradition, Memorial University Newfoundland, Canada
    Paideusis - Journal for Interdisciplinary and Cross-Cultural Studies: Volume 1 / 1998 - Meeting Point Letters - CULTURE & TRADITION Canada Culture & Tradition is Canada's oldest bilingual folklore and ethnology journal. First published in 1975, this graduate student publication was founded by the students of the ethnology/folklore departments of Universite Laval (Quebec) and Memorial University of Newfoundland (St. John's), which are the only two Ph.D. programs in Canada. Culture & Tradition is currently located in the Department of Folklore at Memorial University, Newfoundland and produced solely by the graduate students of MUN. It is published annually, and as of 1996, subscriptions are accompanied by free copies of Transmission, the Culture & Tradition newsletter. The journal exists to provide a forum for work done primarily by graduate students in the fields of Folklore, Ethnology and cognate disciplines such as museum studies, history, ethnomusicology and anthropology. We aim to promote Canadian Folklore and Ethnological studies and related interests. Published articles have addressed topics in the traditional arts, music, cuisine, architecture, beliefs, cultural psychology, occupational and factory folklore, and the social structure of regional, ethnic and religious groups in Canada. Listing of our articles and selected abstracts can be found on our web-page. Many of our articles arise out of fieldwork and archive projects undertaken by (primarily) graduate students, and thus a high proportion focus on the unique and vibrant cultures of Atlantic Canada. This focus, though far from exclusive makes the journal a valuable resource for anyone interested in the ethnographic study of this region. The editorial board is particularly concerned with facilitating cross-disciplinary studies in both of Canada's national languages and will gladly accept submissions in both French and English.

    Developing and Appreciation for the Cultural Significance of Childlorel Carole H Carpenter Part of the responsibility of contemporary scholars of childlore rests in their actively promoting a genuine appreciation for children's own traditions so as to counteract the continuing perception of such material as merely the charming, nostalgia laden ephemera of innocents. Childlore would seem by its very persistence in the modern age to merit serious investigation, for in a world of consid- erable cultural change that which endures ought to acquire particular significance and its uses, meanings and function in contemporary society should command attention. Rather than dismissing childlore as culturally irrelevant, then, it is quite arguably more responsible to highlight this material and consider the impact of these durable traditions on the development and expression of individual, group and national identity. There are several reasons for assuming this responsibility, namely: 1. this approach potentially affords considerable illu- mination of the dynamics of cultural acquisition, generally and during childhood in particular; 2. there is a necessity given the complexity and de- mands of contemporary multicultural circumstances to gain as full an understanding as possible of the cultural milieu of children in order to shape and plan judiciously for their future; and 3. it is desirable to combat the persisting popular tendency to disregard the holistic humanity of children as equal, fully human beings—even to the extent of their having meaningful culture. By taking on this responsibility, folklorists can more adequately meet their ethical obligations to their young informants while contributing to a richer understanding of perhaps the single most important yet culturally neglected minority group in North America—our children.

  • THE FOLKLORE of "OLD FOOLISHNESS' Newfoundland Media Legends
    THE FOLKLORE OF "OLD FOOLISHNESS' Newfoundland Media Legends Peter Narvaez ΤIHE TECHNOLOGICAL MEDIA which transmit popular culture have often been vieweIHd Eby folklorists and other students of culture as "destroyers of folklore."1 Folklore, however, is a dynamic component of culture which func- tions adaptively in situations of rapid cultural change; such adaptiveness is especially reflected in the generation of folkloric forms which make critical com- ments about new situations. For more than a century, rapidly developing techno- logical media have been modifying the sensory experiences of the populations of Newfoundland and Labrador. The adaptive function of folklore will be illustrated in this discussion through an analysis of a cluster of media legends which reveal adjustments to new media technologies. Mass Media and Popular Culture as Destroyers of Folklore The study of contemporary folklore encompasses a vast array of old and modern expressive behaviours, texts, and contexts. Although the "media as destroyers" idea is not universally entertained, it is an important notion, which merits more than peripheral consideration. The destroyers argument is a deter- ministic value judgement whose tenets are: folklore is basically good; when popular culture, an inferior expressive form, and the technological media of its transmission are introduced into given cultural scenes, they either supplant or unfairly compete with folklore. It follows implicitly from such an argument that the responsibility of the folklorist is to save, nurture, and

  • Folklore and the Liberal Arts 1
    Folklore and the Liberal Arts 1 Folklore and the Liberal Arts Ian Brodie Cape Breton University [email protected] Presented at the International Conference on the Liberal Arts September 30th – October 1st, 2010 at St. Thomas University, Fredericton, New Brunswick. Ian Brodie 2010 Folklore and the Liberal Arts 2 Abstract: If the etymology of “Liberal” is a legitimate starting point for reflection on the original direction and intention of a Liberal Arts education – studies fit for a free citizen and not a slave – we may be well served to look at parallel terms as starting points for a reconceiving the Liberal Arts as we shift from a classicist to a modern and postmodern mindset, and from an exclusive to an inclusive worldview. The discipline of Folklore has as its field of inquiry informal expressive culture, with an emphasis on the tacit, the informal, the quotidian, the interstitial, the local, and the marginalized. Within recent Folklore scholarship the use of the term “Vernacular,” from vernaculus, a slave born within a master‟s household, has emerged as a useful entry into spheres ranging from architecture (Glassie 2000) to religious studies (Primiano 1995), song (Narváez 1995), and theory (Baker 1984). This paper suggests how Folklore not only can (and does) contribute to the Liberal Arts curriculum as traditionally conceived but also provides a theoretical framework for how the Liberal Arts can address and adapt to the shifting expectations of cultural literacy and global citizenship in a post-Colonial, de-centered world. Biography: Ian Brodie is an Assistant Professor of Folklore at Cape Breton University.
