Title:Preparing net for hunting

Description:The traditional healer Ngyamba is preparing a net for net hunting and explains what he is doing. The Mvoumbo man Severin, the team's interpreter, interviews him about what he is doing. Biyang gets involved in the conversation and also explains.
The Bakola project aims at documenting the Bakola/Bagyeli language as it is spoken in everyday conversation. The linguistic documentation of Bakola will focus on three major domains: 1. audio recordings (narrative, procedural, hortative, expository, conversations, epics, songs, folktales, proverbs, etc.) 2. video recordings (dances, storytelling events, songs, procedural discourse, and basic conversational situations such as greetings, daily activities, food gathering, etc.) 3. the elicitation of specialized vocabulary (plant and animal names, herbalist and hunting techniques as well as stories, music and rituals to build relationships among humans and with the spiritual world)
SNY, NABi, BCBi and CL are the main actors in this session who are directly involved in the activities. As the preparation of the nethunt takes place in the village, however, there are more people around, watching the scene or doing other activities (such as NB and DF doing color tests with the village chief). They are not thoroughly described here because they do not participate in the activity and are rather part of the background.
SNY serves as interpreter and transcription helper in the Bakola team. He got some linguistic training from SIL and used to work with DD for several years as a language helper.
