Short description of each interview
Description:
Interviews conducted in 1989 and 1990. A broad range of
communities are represented, based on their numerical importance
within the population; the collection also represents a balance
in terms of geography, since different groups tend to live in
different areas of the province. The communities are African,
Carribean, Chinese, Croatian, Serbian, Asian, Austrian, Belgian,
Czech, Slovak, Danish, Dutch, Doukhobor, English, Finnish,
Francophone, German, Greek, Hungarian, Hutterite, Icelandic, East
Indian, Irish, Italian, Japanese, Jewish, Latin American,
Mennonite, Norwegian, Polish, Romanian, Russian, Scandivanian,
Scottish, Swedish, Swiss, Ukrainian and Welsh, as well as Cree
and Métis. Material generally covers cultural traditions still
in practice by ethnocultural groups in Saskatchewan. Topics
include beliefs, festivities, folklore, domestic life, family,
food, community life, migration, pioneer life and life histories.
Transcripts are not available for some recordings because of
sound quality or unavailability of translator; in some cases
cultural tradition prevented the production of written
transcripts.
Recordings to be deposited with the Saskatchewan Archives Board.
