Abstract:
The North Carolina Folklife Institute (NCFI) began in 1974 to support the North Carolina Folklife Festival. The history of NCFI demonstrates how public practice of folklore has furthered human understanding of what folklore is and what kind of impact it can make in worldwide communities. Folklorist and historian, Elijah Gaddis details ways in which the institute can construct a sustainable public folklore practice for the future.
