The objective of this research note is to present the findings of a fieldwork that was conducted in Pubnico, Nova Scotia, my home village, between 2004 and 2006. The purpose of this investigation was to evaluate the oral literature of this Acadian region. The research focuses on the following questions: Is there in the memory of the people, stories that have been passed orally from one generation to the next without the influence of printed materials? Does the practice of sharing oral narratives play an important role in this community? If so, what types of narratives are active today? The study reveals, among other things, that the practice of telling oral stories is still a dynamic phenomenon in Pubnico, and it highlights the richness of active narratives, such as anecdotes.
