Highland Village Launches Gaelic Study

The Highland Village Museum in Iona has launched a project to find out what role Gaelic language and culture plays in the lives of Nova Scotians.

The Community-Based Ethnographic Fieldwork Project will see Gaelic-speaking fieldworkers traveling through the province over the next several weeks to interview people with connections to Gaelic.

The fieldworkers want to learn more about the personal and social significance the Gaelic language and culture have for people today.

A final report is expected in the Fall of next year.

Anyone with ties to Gaelic, including native speakers, language learners, and people involved in the culture, who would like to participate can contact the Highland Village Museum.
