I'll try and find links to a CBC documentary. The Hudson's Bay company founded a post on the east side of the bay. They taught Cree Indians to play fiddle. The tunes were Scottish.
The Cree never mutated or changed the tunes. They were taken to Scotland and astounded the musicians with the original tunes from the late 1600's or early 1700's.





Thanks John, that is interesting. Couldn't find the audio example you noted, but the still pics are engaging.
