Description:		This recording was done in the traditional fishing camp on the Managič river (Russian version of the name = Manyč), where A S lives year round together with his mother, her partner, his two brothers, a 19-year -old niece, and children of pre-school age; in the summer, the camp fills up with further children. AS was sitting outside making a bridle for his horse when we asked him to tell us something in Even; it was a fairly windstill afternoon, and most of the children were far away, so that it was fairly quiet. However, AS's 8-year old daughter (Alexandra Solodikova) came up after a few minutes to see what we were doing; she can be seen in the video and also heard whispering and singing and banging her heels on the generator she was sitting on, and our whispered admonishments for her to be quiet can probably also be heard. Further noises are a horse chomping grass, possibly horses snorting and/or whinnying, and dogs barking, mosquitoes, as well as AS's hammering while he works. The recording was done in mono with a Marantz recorder and a Sony handycam on videotape. NA held the microphone of the Marantz recorder in her hand, sitting on the same 'bench' (an unfunctional sled) as AS; BP kept track of the video camera, which was on a tripod a bit further away. The videofilm was transferred to the computer as .avi and later converted to mpeg2. A sound file from Video was used for Elan annotation, but also an uncompressed sound from Marantz audio recorder is archived (Solodikov_AN_Marantz.WAV). Video file Solodikov_Artem_Nikolaevich_Managic_180609_subtitles.mpeg is a fragment of this recording. This fragment is provided with the german subtitles and is created for the usage on the DoBeS portal. The speaker is telling about traditional ways of fishing and kinds of fishes he catches.
		Ėven is a Northern Tungusic language spoken over a vast area of northeastern Siberia, from the Lena-Jana watershed in the west to the coast of the Oxotsk Sea, Chukotka, and Kamchatka in the east. Traditionally, Ėvens are nomadic hunters and reindeer pastoralists. Reindeer, both domesticated and wild, play an important role in their culture and ethnic self-identification. Reindeer herding, however, has become highly endangered throughout the Russian North, which has had extremely negative effects on the Ėvens' self-perception and social relations. Therefore the project will not only seek to document the language, but also the state of reindeer herding among the Ėvens in different regional settings. Due to the fragmentation of the Ėven communities, several dialects have emerged which are classified into two major dialectal groups: Western and Eastern. These dialects form a continuum with pronounced lack of mutual intelligibility between the extremes. So far, only two variants of one of the dozen or more dialects have been documented to a notable extent; these variants are also the least endangered ones. Other dialects are either on the verge of extinction or moribund. The project aims at documenting three highly endangered variants of Ėven that currently still have enough fluent speakers to make a comprehensive documentation feasible. These are the dialect spoken in the village of Sebjan-Küöl in the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia), which is the westernmost Ėven dialect still spoken; the dialect spoken in the village of Topolinoe in Yakutia, which also belongs to the Western dialect group, but is in an intermediate geographic location and the dialect spoken in the Bystraja district on Kamchatka representing the Eastern dialect group.
		AS told about his life, about the bridle he is making, and about hunting bears.
