Aunties on Air Episode 37: The Voices of Our Ancestors
Aunties on Air: The Voices of Our Ancestors
We continue to lean into learning with Dwayne Tomah after his visit with us in our "Leaning into Learning" series where we spoke with him about our language! Throughout history, we have seen significant contributions to Wabanaki culture and language, with each contribution deserving discussion and visibility. Today, in the studio, we welcome back Uncle Dwayne Tomah, a language and culture sharer. Dwayne’s work is felt throughout Wabanaki territory, as his generosity and gentle teachings have reached many people. During our episode we will discuss Dwayne’s work on the 1890 Passamaquoddy Wax Cylinders, the first audio recordings of our ancestors.
