Adopted Mukurtu
Passamaquoddy People
The Passamaquoddy people used Mukurtu to manage the return of wax-cylinder sound recordings made in Calais, Maine in 1890 — among the earliest recordings of Native American voices — which had long been held far from the community. Through Mukurtu, elders and language specialists add Passamaquoddy transcriptions, English translations and Traditional Knowledge (TK) Labels to the fragmented songs and stories, contextualising public-domain material within tribal protocols. A US example of using open-source Mukurtu to reclaim cultural authority over ancestral audio.
