Geraldine Hegeman, Dolores Daigle, and Marilyn Daigle, Collectors

Geraldine Hegeman, Dolores Daigle, and Marilyn Daigle were students in one of Edward Ives’ Saturday extension courses in American Folklore taught in Presque Isle during the Fall of 1962. They collected Maliseet stories as a group for the course’s main assignment. The result was 134 pages of transcribed stories and two seven inch reels of tape, a considerable accomplishment for what had otherwise been an elusive set of Native American stories.
