Canada ABSTRACT This study examines the rural Ontario fieldwork of song-collector/scholar Edith Fowke (1913 - 1996) in the 1950s and '60s. That fieldwork and the subsequent published results formed the foundation of Fowke's nationally and internationally recognized career. This survey adds fresh data to the existing published information about the duration and methodology of her field research and supplements current information pertaining to aspects of her life story. The focal point throughout is Fowke's search for folk songs in the Peterborough area, which impacted her entire life and oeuvre. A combination of field and literary research formed the basis for this study. The rural field research included interviews with Peterborough area singers recorded by Fowke and descendents of singers who recall Fowke's visits to their homes. Research at the Canadian Museum of Civilization provided access to Fowke's field recordings and business correspondence, which was supplemented with information from the listing of fieldwork recordings stored at the York University Library. Data were provided by people like folksinger Merrick Jarrett, who worked on Fowke's radio broadcasts and song- collector Philip Thomas, who had a long association with Fowke. Folklorist Dr. Skye Morrison supplied information about Fowke's later years. These people also contributed pertinent personal letters, books and photos. The literary research aspect required locating and reviewing all of the known books, articles, essays and recording liner-notes produced by Fowke. Canadian Broadcasting Corporation archival material revealed details of her broadcasting career and the evaluation of printed articles about her helped fill informational gaps. The focus on Fowke's Peterborough area work yielded the data required for a substantive discussion of her collecting methodology and ongoing passion to document, analyze, and popularize Canadian folk songs. This discourse facilitates an understanding of Fowke's fieldwork and related experiences and its effect on her prolific publishing, teaching, and broadcasting career. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The following individuals and organizations gave me the help necessary to complete this project and I wish to acknowledge all of them. Coralie Kirby, my wife, gave me her unconditional positive support and understanding. Dr. Elaine Keillor, my academic advisor, patiently encouraged me, critiqued me, and tirelessly guided my research and writing. Michael Towns, one of my informants, supported me throughout my research and provided important details of his mother's relationship with Edith Fowke and the connections with other singers. Writer Janet Kellough and the late fiddler, David “Zeke” Mazurek, helped me to create the musical drama Fowke Tales. The management and staff of Peterborough County's Lang Pioneer Village Museum provided the venue for Fowke Tales and maintained an active interest in my folk song research. The Canadian Museum of Civilization Archives personnel enabled me to access and listen to specific original Edith Fowke field recordings. For all of this assistance I am truly grateful.

    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.
