18th Century Mohican Hymnody and 21st Century Language Revival
I have collaborated with a musicologist, a linguist, and the descendant community of the 18th century Mohicans are the subject of my research. The contemporary community is very engaged with their history and is working on language revival. Through the collaboration, we have created hymnals and recordings the congregation is able to use to incorporate more Mohican language into their regular services.
