RECORDED VERSIONS OF THE THANKSGIVING RITUALS 



The following is an attempt to cite all published, manuscript, and tape recorded 

 versions of the Thanksgiving Speech, Thanksgiving Dance, and Tobacco In- 

 vocation. Reasonably complete summaries of the items in the Thanksgiving 

 sequence are included. The dates refer to the year of performance, not of publi- 

 cation. The collector is given in parentheses. All tapes will ultimately be 

 deposited in the New York State Museum, Albany, with copies in the Bureau 

 of American Ethnology.
