Canada FOLKLORE-IN-EDUCATION: A TEACHING TOOL IN THE CLASSROOM by Linda Lines A thesis submitted to the School of Graduate Studies in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Masters of Folklore Department of Folklore Memorial University of Newfoundland St. John's Newfoundland ABSTRACT This Thesis examines the material available to folklorists interested in the folklore-in-education branch of public sector folklore and develops a method of assessing the quality of folklore-in-education materials . A survey of teachers and a literature search of materials available to educators interested in teaching folklore in their classrooms follows . This thesis maintains that educators have little knowledge of current folklore-in-education strategies and have poor access to the resources they need to remedy this situation. Such a lack of knowledge and resources reveals a lost opportunity to teach the K - 12 core curriculum, as well as art, music , physical-education, multiculturalism, living, and research skills - all subjects which can be taught in a way that is interesting, enjoyable, and personally enriching for students . The final chapter of this thesis is a detailed description of a seminar course designed to teach educators to use the folk culture that surrounds us as a means to teach the curriculum. ii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I would like to thank Dr. Neil V. Rosenberg who has helped me so much to begin and complete this work . Dr. Rosenberg has been the ideal thesis mentor for me: patient , prompt, professional, meticulous and very very smart. I also would like to mention my niece Lorelee Parker with thanks for her help researching, proofreading, and editing the many drafts, Jordy Miller who helped me with my old and failing computer, Arlene Wallacer for the loan of her printer, Kate and Matt Owen for a new computer and Mike Lines for everything. i ii TABLE OF CONTENTS Page Abstract . ........ ...... .... .. .. .. .... ..... .... .. ii Acknowledgements ..... .... .. ....... .............. .. iii Table of Contents ... ... .... ... ... .. ..... .. .. ... ......... i v List of Appendices ........................ ....... .... ... v Chapter 1 "Folklore-in-Education": Current Strategies and Resources ................ 1 11 Chapter 2 "Folklore-in-Education : Resources Available to Educators . ... ........... 51 Chapter 3 Learning to Teach the Teachers: A Process ........ .......... .. ...... .... 112 Chapter 4 Teaching folklore in the Classroom: A course of Instruction for Teachers .......... 138 Conclusion .............................................. 164 Summary ..... .............. ............................ 16 9 Works Cited .. ... ... .. ... .. ... ....... .. .. ... ..... .. 176 Appendix A .................. .... .. .... ..... ..... 202 Appendix B .. ..... ........ .. ........... .. ....... ..... 2 0 5 iv LIST OF APPENDICES Appendix A A Survey of the Use of Folklore by Educators .... ... 202 Appendix B Responses to the Survey . ........ ... .... ... .. ... .. .. 2 0 5 v Chapter 1 "Folklore-in-Education": Current Strategies and Resources. Years ago, I began this work as a children's librarian. In libraries and in schools I told stories to primary grade students and taught storytelling to the intermediate grades. Later as a high school teacher, I told myths and hero legends to try to make ancient history "live" for my grade eight students. I encouraged my Canadian history classes to research and tell stories of how they or their ancestors came to Canada. I learned that the stories most appreciated by the children seemed to be folktales, that the lessons in which I told myths and legends were remembered better. I remember the strong emotional tension rising up in a Canadian history class when two girls, both of American heritage, told stories of how their fathers came to Canada-one was a draft dodger and one was the American Consulate. In that same class a grade ten boy brought his grandfather's diary. It chronicled the day to day life in Germany and Italy of a Canadian soldier on the run from the Nazis as he tried to reach the allied lines. It was high adventure- an unexpected and vital look at history. That particular class had about fifteen new Canadians from China. These students 1 were not interested in Canadian history until I showed them accounts , collected from Chinese railway workers , of the hard and bitter life of early Chinese immigrants. Suddenly they were outraged and wanted to know everything about the Chinese experience in Canada. It was this power of narrative - oral history, ancient legend, and folktales - that led me to decide to pursue a graduate degree in folklore. Of course I now blush to think how little I knew about folklore and especially of how to use it effectively. But it is still the vital and mysterious experience in that classroom which intrigues me; I still want to use folklore in the schools but now I also want to apply current folklore scholarship to my use of folklore and to teach other educators how to do the same. To that end, I will use the scholarship developed by folklorists working in both the academic and the public sectors to examine the use of folklore in the schools . The first step in this investigation will be to delineate the boundaries and the content of this branch of folklore scholarship. The next step will be to identify the components crucial to the effective use of folklore i n the classroom. The third step will be to survey those material s which apply the b e s t folkloric a n d educational scholarsh ip to folklore-in- e duca tion programs. I h op e this inquiry will 2 elucidate the kind of scholarship essential to those of us who would use folklore to teach young people in our school systems. Folklore-in-education is a particular section of the larger field of public folklore. Robert Baron and Nicholas Spitzer define public folklore in the first sentence of the introduction to their book Public Folklore as "the representation and application of folk traditions in new contours and contexts within and beyond the communities in which they originated, often through the collaborative efforts of tradition bearers and folklorists or other cultural specialists" (1) . Folklore-in-education is a term public folklorists use when speaking of introduc ing tradition bearers, f olklore items, folklore scholarship o r methodology to students in grades K to twelve. Teachers, librarians, and other people interested in multiculturalism and heritage frequently use folk traditions in the schools as part of curricula or as enriching entertainment- - just as I did. And they do this usually in profound ignorance of folklore scholarship and the basic concepts associated with the study of folklore--just as I did. They perpetuate wrong-headed ideas about folklore and folk traditions that are often hundreds of years out of date--just as I did. This is not folklore- in-education, nor 3 is it public folklore. It is not public folklore because there is no folklore scholarship involved and because there is seldom any folklore present . What is called folklore by people unaware of the basic notions of folklore scholarship is often simply an item or a text lacking the contextual information that would make the item meaningful. Although Baron and Spitzer do not make the presence of folklorists or cultural specialists mandatory in their definition/ in the above scenario there is no understanding of the basic ideas of folklore scholarship or even an awareness that there is such a thing as folklore scholarship. 1 Rather, such wrong-headed ideas co-opt an item of folklore for pedagogical or entertainment purposes, and do not constitute public folklore . They can be entertaining, but also extremely damaging to an understanding of what folklore is. But not only is the use of folklore by the 1 Using the example of a folktale, the written folktale found in a book is only a partial record of the actual item of folklore which was the telling of the story by a tradition bearer to her or his audience. The record of the folklore item lacks all the body language and tone of voice of the teller which would convey much informati on to the audience. It also lacks the atmosphe re in which the story was told and the reason it was told. As well, the recorded story has usually been rewritten i nto sentences and paragraphs, bowdlerized, and otherwise changed by the author to suit a very different audience f rom the one o riginally present at the telling.

    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.

  • FOLK STUDIES 585: Public Folklore Policy and Practice in Washington DC Syllabus & Itinerary Winter 2015, January 9-23 Brent Bjorkman ([email protected])
    FOLK STUDIES 585: Public Folklore Policy and Practice in Washington DC Syllabus & Itinerary Winter 2015, January 9-23 Brent Bjorkman ([email protected]) For years, folklorists have made it their lives’ work to help document, present and conserve the traditional arts and cultural heritage of our nation. Even from the earliest days of these passionate pursuits, key figures like Benjamin Botkin, chairman of the Federal Writer’s Project, helped to shape the importance and understanding of these vernacular expressions of culture and “insisted that democracy is strengthened by the valuing of myriad cultural voices” of Americans, not only those of a chosen few. Folklorists have recognized the need to create mechanisms at the national level to foster the growth of their efforts nationwide and to ensure that traditional arts and culture are a national priority. After the turn of the last half of the 20th century these notions to preserve and promote the traditional arts and culture of the country were furthered by the creation of folklife programs within federal cultural entities like the National Endowment for the Arts, the Library of Congress, and the Smithsonian Institution. In this course, we will travel to the nation’s capital to explore the diverse range of work being done in the area of cultural policy as it relates to public folklore documentation, presentation and conservation by the folklife agencies based there. Over this five-day period the class will meet with a variety of cultural policy specialists from The American Folklife Center at the Library of Congress, Smithsonian Center for Folklife and Cultural Heritage, National Endowment for the Arts, and the National Park Service, among others.

    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.

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.

    Rethinking the Role of Folklore in Museums: Exploring New Directions for Folklore in Museum Policy and Practice A White Paper prepared by the American Folklore Society Folklore and Public Policy Working Group on Folklore and Museums Prepared by: Marsha Bol, C. Kurt Dewhurst, Carrie Hertz, Jason Baird Jackson, Marsha MacDowell, Charlie Seemann, Suzy Seriff, and Daniel Sheehy February 2015 2 Introduction The American Folklore Society’s working group on Folklore and Museums Policy and Practice has taken its cue from the growing number of folklorists who are working in and with museums to foster a greater presence for folklore in museum theory, practice, and policy. This work emerges from formal and informal conversations already underway among museum-minded folklorists. The Folklore and Museums Policy and Programs working group has been committed to synthesizing and extending these discussions through its activities and publications. Building upon past contributions by folklorists, the working group has held a series of regular phone conferences; a convening in Santa Fe in the fall of 2013 and a second convening in conjunction with the 2014 American Alliance of Museum’s Annual Meeting in Seattle; initiated a series of professional activities; conducted a series of sessions and tours related to folklife and museums for the 2014 American Folklore Society Meetings in Santa Fe; created a new Folklore and Museums Section of the Society; developed a working e-list of folklorists interested in a listserv on folklore and museums; and initiated or completed reports/publications to examine arenas where folklore can contribute to public and museum practice policies.
