Material culture

Recorded audio interview with Wyatt Hirschfeld Shibley completed by Natalie Dignam for Heritage NL.

TRANSCRIPT:
The other things that have been interesting to me in terms of traditions. A big one has been people, I guess, like the material culture of their house, like the things they keep in their homes. We talked a little bit about those sort artistic renderings of jurns but also people have a lot of cedar objects, sort of souvenirs essentially from Lebanon either made out of cedar well usually some kind of wood burning of maybe of a Lebanese cedar being the kind of national emblem of Lebanon. People have had a lot of things like that. And it is interesting because of lot of these people aren’t people who have gone to Lebanon or have ever been there but you know something that maybe a friend gave them or was in the family or that sort of thing. That has been very common. A lot of people have had those sorts of decorations.
