  • BURT FEINTUCH Folk Music Is a Social Phenomenon.1 It Exists Within the Contexts of Certain Patterns of Human Interaction
    SOINTULA, BRITISH COLUMBIA: Aspects of a Folk Music Tradition as a Social Phenomenon BURT FEINTUCH Folk music is a social phenomenon.1 It exists within the contexts of certain patterns of human interaction. When we speak of a “tradition,” in the sense of “the folk music tradition,” we refer to a patterned social phenomenon in which utilization of a class of folkloric items occurs. A tradition is not composed of a repertoire, nor does it reside in individuals. Just as a traffic pattern is not dependent upon specific drivers, a folkloric tradition is social rather than individual.2 We have a large number of studies of the content of repertoires (item-oriented studies) and a number of studies which focus on the individual performer or repertoire-bearer (person-oriented studies), but we have little information concerning the social nature of a tradition. The following is an attempt to portray in a general sense a vital tradition of folk music in a small fishing community in British Columbia.3 Sointula, British Columbia, is a community of approximately five hundred people, about half of them first, second, or third generation Finnish-Canadians. The community is located on Malcolm Island, a small island about twelve miles long by an average of two miles wide, located in the Queen Charlotte Sound, between the northern portion of Vancouver Island and the mainland, about 185 air miles north of Vancouver. Although the earliest group to settle Malcolm Island was an English and Irish religious sect intending to establish a Christian utopian society, the first group to settle the island and remain for a significant length of time was a group of Finnish utopian socialists.4 The first substantial Finnish migration to British Columbia was com­ prised of laborers who arrived with construction of the Canadian Pacific Railway.
