Title: Boat trip to Caño Negro (Toro Lhami/Toro Jami)

Description: The three audio files associated with this bundle contain most of the boat trip in and around Caño Negro (Toro Lhami/Toro Jami). Note that the files contain sensitive information and hence it has restricted access. We embarked close to Guatuso early in the morning at La Guitarra and travelled by motor boat up the Ucurinh (Rio Frio) until reaching the lagoons in the wildlife refuge. On the next day, we drove back making a couple of stops along the way to fish. Five speakers, most of which used to participate in the traditional trips to Toro Lhami as children, joined us in this trip. They helped identify different hunting, fishing and resting sites in the region. Also present is MA student and researcher David Solís Aguilar (Colegio de Michoacán, Human Geography). Note that only a portion of the boat trip was video recorded (see bundle TL_tr200207); the complete audio recording of this trip is much longer.

Description: The Maleku Documentation Project is meant as a continuation of the previous 1-year Small Grant project (SG372), in which an initial oral corpus in different linguistic settings, was collected and transcribed. The current IGS project pays special consideration to traditions and places which the Maleku community has explicitly requested to be documented. This includes Toro Lhami (Caño Negro), Tenorio and other fishing and hunting sites in their ancestral territory as well as the documentation of their traditional trading trips to Tilaran. The recent changes in land-ownership within the territory allotted to them by the Costa Rican government are also an important documentation subject. Most members of the Maleku community live in three small villages along the Toji River in a small territory assigned to them by the government in the Northern Plains of the country. The number of native speakers is estimated at around 300 (close to 50% of the ethnic members), none of which are monolingual. This project aims at gathering data from a wider range of speakers from the three main communities.
