Dr. Peter Manseau, Curator of Religion for the Smithsonian's National Museum of American History, talks with podcast host Hilary Goodnow about the new Religion in America initiative and the upcoming collaboration with Plimoth Plantation to recover the lost sacred sounds of colonial America. Plimoth Plantation has created a unique documentary theater program exploring the intersection of two religious musical traditions: hymns and psalms from the Church of England and Calvinist congregations, and the sacred song and dance of the Wampanoag, the indigenous people of Cape Cod, the Islands and southern Massachusetts. See the performance "Waking the Ancestors" at the National Museum of American History on November 5-6, 2016. http://americanhistory.si.edu/waking-the-ancestors
