Title: Afternoon fish-spearing on the creek

Description: These recordings follow some boys and young men spearing fish along the creek. While Noel, Saimon, Tobit are in the background singing and fishing – and taking turns as it gets cold in the water, Pupi is fixing a pronged spear and Wapayp is examining a mandoŋ fish and taking out a crab that it had swollen. This observational recording shows how children learn about the environment: through observation and experience. They are all joking when walking upstream.

Project

ID: MDP0441

Name: 0695-MDP0441

Description: This deposit is a result of a documentation of the traditional ecological knowledge of the Awiakay from Papua New Guinea, funded by ELDP between 2023–2025. The project is a collaborative effort between a linguistic anthropologist and Awiakay people, in collaboration with an ethnobotanist. The data deposited in this collection encompass video-recordings of a wide variety of genres of language use related to TEK; a collection of short observational films about Awiakay speakers’ interaction with their environment, including landscapes, plants, animals and spirits; photographs and a list of identified specimens of the local flora and fauna; and an Awiakay–Tok Pisin–English photo-dictionary of local plants and animals.
