Description:		This session was made at the place of JET. There were only two persons in the room (NA and JET). She told three stories she prepared beforehand (session Tylkanova_JE_igodnyj_Esso_14-06-09) and one short story that she remembered by the way (this session). After every story she translated it into Russian. NA used JVC Everio Camera (MOD - format, that was converted in mpeg2) and Zoom audio recorder (wave files, but very very quiet). A sound file from Video was used for Elan annotation, but also an uncompressed sound from Zoom audio recorder is archived (Tylkanova_JE_money_Zoom.wav).
		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.
		This story like three stories about granny Igodnyj is also from childhood of JET. Her friend and she were about 8 years old. They found some money in a street, hid themselves and shared this note by tearing it into two pieces. At that moment the aunt of JET saw them, she became angry and explained, that they should not do that.
