Miriam MacMillan was a pioneer in recording Inuit songs and conversation. Here she is using wire-recording equipment to capture the sounds of Inuktitut—and play them back to a delighted audience.
These recordings are preserved today at the Arctic Museum at Bowdoin College, along with the MacMillans' extensive archives of photographs, film, and papers.
