A sigh and a wish ... Helen Creighton's Maritimes

Renowned folklorist Helen Creighton single-handedly compiled North America's largest collection of folklore and music, much of which would have disappeared forever if not for her tenacity, collecting stories and songs from the Gaelic singers of Cape Breton, French Acadians, the Mi'kmaw, and the Black communities of Nova Scotia.

  • "Tells the story of pioneer folklorist Helen Creighton and the appeal of her remarkable collections of song and story. Top contemporary Maritime musicians describe how they have been influenced by her. Questions whether Creighton's collection truly reflects Maritime culture, or is influenced by her own upper-middle-class assumptions."
  • "Célèbre folkloriste, Helen Creighton a, à elle seule et grâce à sa ténacité, compilé la plus grande collection de folklore et de musique des civilisations d'Amérique du Nord, sauvegardant ainsi ce qui aurait disparu à jamais : collecte des histoires et des chansons de chanteurs gaéliques du Cap-Breton, des Acadiens français, des Mi'kmaw, et des communautés noires de la Nouvelle-Écosse. Son nom est devenu courant dans les conversations des ménages dans l'ensemble des villages de pêche, des villes, des fermes et, finalement, Helen Creighton est devenue elle-même l'une de leurs légendes. Une excellente source documentaire pour les classes d'anthropologie, les études culturelles, la linguistique et le folklore."
  • "Documentaire. Cette vidéo dresse le portait d'une femme qui a d'une seule main compilé la plus grande collection de chansons folkloriques nord-américaines, Helen Creighton's. Mariant documents d'archives et témoignages, elle souligne le rôle de cette pionnière dans la définition de la culture maritime et l'importance de la folkloriste dans la conservation des traditions orales profondes."
  • "Delves into the life and work of Helen Creighton, Canadian pioneer in the field of Maritime folklore and music. Includes interviews with contemporary folk performers and historians, along with archival footage."
