Their journey took them to the heart of tribal to the Fresian Islands, Samiland, the Basque country; to Macedonia, Corsica and Provence. Drysdale sought out Europe’s indigenous tribes and took stock of their place in our modern world, analyzing the link between language and identity and capturing many of the voices and cultures that are already fading away.
