It involves a gamut of ethnic communities, such as Scandinavian, Greek, Middle Eastern, Native American, in an effort to keep alive traditions by using them and demonstrating them to others. Other Publications Available: Ecotopia poster - 2'x3' Develops, books and promotes concerts and tours, to bring the best traditional musicians still alive to the Northwest for public performances and workshops, so that people can learn first hand. The most recent activity was a tour from Edmonton to San Diego with folklorist Mike Seeger and an entourage of 10 musicians that included a Cajun band, Appalachian musicians, a blues singer, and a fife and drum group of three elderly black men from Memphis, Tennessee, playing a bass drum, snare drum and fife in a form that incorporates West African traditions with the :Revolutionary War, and Old South funeral processions. Video Documentary Project has been going on for ten years; there are 40-plus musicians on tape, in about 30 segments.
