The data recorded by the team are intended to be as varied as possible. Starting off with elicited word lists and verbal paradigms, the focus is now shifting to the recording of longer narratives – traditional as well as personal – on audio and video. Furthermore, the documentation of traditional activities such as moose hunting, berry picking, beading or hand games is a central part of the project.
