Martin Starret meets the Babines

RECORDED: [location unknown], [1966-09] SUMMARY: TRACK 1: Martin Starret is walking with an unidentified Babine Indian, possibly named Jimmy Donald. They can be heard walking, and they have small talk about the seasons; the boats; how many people are in town. An Indigenous woman talks to Starret about the cool weather, and how a man had taken Starret to Old Fort in a sleigh in 1912. The interview may have taken place in a canoe, as the sound of oars on the water can be heard. More conversation between Starret and Indians as they joke with one another. Starret sings songs with the native people. An Indigenous person discusses beaver hunting and a specific hunt. [TRACK 2: blank.]
