Elphinstone Institute staff at the University of Aberdeen were honoured to welcome Mandy Gull-Masty, Grand Chief of Eeyou Istchee, The Grand Council of the Crees, along with Kristen Moar, and Adario Masty. The three visited because of their interest in Senior Lecturer Frances Wilkins's research on fiddle music in the James Bay area of Canada.
We enjoyed a stimulating conversation about historical and contemporary connections between Eeyou Istchee and Scotland, and we look forward to potential future links. We wish Mandy, Kristen, and Adario the best on the rest of their trip to Scotland, which brings them to Orkney next.
