Idaho
The American Folklife Center contains rich and varied
materials from Idaho that document the diversity of the state's folk traditions.
Among its unique recordings are music and folklore from a wide range of
ethnic traditions, including Finnish, Basque, Hispanic, Japanese, and American Indian. The American Indian holdings include recordings of Chief Joseph
of the Nez Perce, collected by Alice Fletcher, on the occasions of Chief
Joseph's visits to Washington, D.C., in 1897 and 1900.
