Nestled in the foothills of the Saint François mountains, Old Mines, Mo., is a place where the boundary between history and folklore is especially thin. French colonists established the lead mining town in 1723. As the local French dialect was dying over the course of the 20th century, residents faced tough decisions about which aspects of their heritage were essential and how best to carry the culture forward. Beginning in the 1930s, scholars and locals began amassing an archive of oral literature, songs, and customs. Kansas City-based filmmaker and artist Brian Hawkins has been mining these archives and collaborating with the current generation of French Creoles for his multifaceted documentary project, Toujours Icitte (Still Here). Hawkins will share highlight from his project and discuss how this community has been able to retain traditions despite the forces of American assimilation.
