Description:		This session was made in the flat of Oktjabrina Nikolaevna Perxun. She invited NA to her place, because she wanted to sing a song that she sings in a folk group. She used a tambourin, so NA asked her to sing this song twice with tambourine and without it. There were also her sister and her granddaughter in the same room. During the third verse the granddaughter were dancing, but it was very difficult to record this dance, whyle there was not enough place. For the second time Oktjabrina Nikolaevna sang without tambourine and her granddaughter was sitting on the sofa. NA used Sony Handycam Camera (so, avi video files) and Marantz audio recorder (wave files).
		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 is a popular song on Kamchatka "Mut Kamchatkat", written by Lidija Vojamgit-Delandja. It is about beautiful and reach Kamchatka. This song is sung by the folk groups Nulgur (Esso) and Nurgenek (Anavgaj). At the beginning Oktjabrina Nikolaevna made a short introduction about this song.
