Densmore, Frances, 1867-1957
Frances Theresa Densmore was born on May 21, 1867 in Red Wing, Minnesota. She studied at the Oberlin College Conservatory of Music from 1884 to 1887. Her professional interest in the music of Native Americans dates from the 1893 Columbian Exposition in Chicago. In 1905, she made her first visit to the Minnesota tribes and in 1907 began to record Indian music under the auspices of the Smithsonian Institution's Bureau of American Ethnology. During her fifty years with the Bureau, she recorded nearly 2,500 songs of some thirty Indian tribes and authored numerous anthropological and musicological studies. Densmore died on June 5, 1957.
