Running the Goat

Chris Brookes (CA 2005)

On July 2, 1992 the once-gigantic Newfoundland cod fishery was shut down. Twelve years later, 70,000 people had left, and coastal communities were struggling to survive. The blow to the culture was as dramatic as the economic effect, but how do you measure cultural change? Perhaps with a centuries-old Nfld “set dance”.

Celebrating the life and works of the late Chis Brookes.
