Primarily Canada. Nova Scotia, Ontario, the North Woods in general. She also edited various collections.

Helen Creighton collected in Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, and the Maritimes in general.

We've covered Newfoundland, more or less.

Marius Barbeau and others worked in Quebec.

MacLeod printed Manitoba songs.

There are sundry field collections from Canada on Folkways.

Canada hasn't been entirely neglected by any means. It's just that the collection biases toward the east.
