# Creek Lullaby"

The American Folklife Center at the Library of Congress challenged musical artists to interpret material from its unparalleled archive of ethnographic recordings of traditional folk music. Artists were asked to put their own spin on these archival treasures, and to perform them at a special showcase during the Folk Alliance International conference in Kansas City, Missouri in 2022. This video features Boston, Massachusetts singer-songwriter Thea Hopkins, a member of Aquinnah Wampanoag tribe of Martha's Vineyard, performing the song "Creek Lullaby" from a field recording of a young Creek student named Margaret, recorded at Haskell Institute in Lawrence, Kansas in 1943. From the Willard Rhodes 1943 field recordings collection, AFC1943/020: AFS 12,203.
