NotesSubject Note: CCHAP collaborated with the Vermont Folklife Center’s (VFC) Family Stories, Family Sagas project in the early 2000s. CCHAP suggested several Connecticut storytellers who were interviewed and recorded by Jane Beck of VFC who compiled a tape archive of dozens of storytellers from across New England and later developed a traveling exhibit (2003) featuring six of the storytellers she interviewed. Connecticut artists who were interviewed included Schaghticoke elder Trudie Lamb Richmond with her daughter, granddaughter, and great-granddaughter; Puerto Rican poet Isabel Osorio in Hartford; Portuguese fisherman Joe Rendeiro and his daughter from Stonington; Benin storyteller Raouf Mama; Irish singer Josephine MacNamara; Nigerian storyteller Omaa Chukwurah-Orezabo; and French Canadian raconteurs Andre Giroux (Bethlehem) and Rosaire LeHoux (Willimantic).

Addiional materials exist in the CCHAP archive for this artist and this project.
