Summary
Maureen Keating’s held 2013 University of Notre Dame research poster presents a secondary synthesis of Irish language and identity on Beaver Island. It frames its findings through archival material and oral-history interviews, and connects language use, music and folklore, Arranmore ties, twinning, and modern heritage practice.
Evidence and limits
The poster establishes its author, title, institutional context, research questions, stated methods, and attributed findings. It is useful as a map to a research conversation, but it does not itself provide a complete interview corpus, a language census, a verbatim Mass record, or independent proof of every historical statement printed on the poster.
Claims about a named speaker, a precise period of Irish-language use, church practice, or a specific tradition must be checked against the poster’s cited sources or an appropriate primary/community source. The KB therefore preserves the poster as a secondary research artifact rather than treating it as a stand-alone account of island identity.
