She found a thriving tradition in Metis and First Nations communities that was little-known to the outside world. She released four vinyl records of her field recordings in 1987, called Old Native and Metis Fiddling in Manitoba. In 2002, The Canadian Museum of Civilization reissued the recordings on their Archive Series as a double CD. In the mid-1990s, Anne wrote a stage piece of stories and music based on her field notes and recordings, called Spirit of the Narrows, which she performed solo in many venues throughout Canada and some in the British Isles. In 2004, the Blyth Theatre Festival invited Anne to recast the piece for herself (playing herself and her Aboriginal mentors) and another actor/musician, Capucine Onn (playing “young” Anne). It was staged at Blyth for two successive seasons (2004, 2005), and was remounted in December 2015 at the Pearl Company in Hamilton, with both origina...

Ultimately, this project yielded 17 videotapes of group and solo dancing, 9 audio cassette interviews, and a 35-page report, plus detailed indices of the video and audio tapes, all housed in the Museum’s Centre for Folk Culture Studies. Some videotapes were from an earlier project I undertook in 1985/86 on fiddling in Western Manitoba, including the fiddling, jigging, and square dance competitions at “Back to Batoche”, a 10-day festival held in Batoche, Saskatchewan in 1986 in honour of the 100th anniversary of the Saskatchewan Riel Rebellion. There are also videos from the Festival du Voyageur in Winnipeg and the Trapper’s Festival in The Pas, both held in February of 1988, and one of three Ebb and Flow musicians with j...
