Native America

Voices from the Past

Native America Series Producer Daniel Golding is at the Library of Congress’s National Audio-Visual Conservation Center to document the recovery of Passamaquoddy language recordings from 19th century wax cylinders but the team has also found something deeply personal to him. They surprise him with 100-year-old recordings of his great-grandfather singing in the Quechan language.
