Does anyone know where I can learn Achuar-Shiwiar (one of the Amazonian Jivaroan languages, sometimes also known as Achuár Chícham)?

Hello mates, I'm just curious if there is a kind of RG archive, where I can find records of all my achievements, like "Your book reached 500 reads" or "With 120 new reads, your research items were the most read research items from your institution" etc...

Thanks, MM.

I am completing a state of the art for my doctoral thesis on valuation of traditional knowledge in the Colombian Amazon. I am interested in making a deconstruction of the concept of traditional knowledge that occurs in the discourses of local organizations and institutions that instrumentalize it on specific projects.

Many of the thousands of indigenous languages in the world do not have a word for "wild" or any of its relatives -- wildness, wilderness, wilding, etc. -- in their vocabulary. Do you know any examples of indigenous languages that do?

I'm thinking here of my own situation as a non-Indigenous researcher in Australia, and in contexts where Aboriginal communities are remote, and where non-Indigenous people generally don't live, but where colonisation and racism still play a huge part. However, having read a bit about this I can see some potential pitfalls and challenges for both the non-Indigenous researcher and the use of CRT itself for indigenous contexts generally. Does anyone have any examples one way or the other on this topic?

I am seaching for a software that would enable me to create a database constitued of PDF files of older ethnographies of north american indigenous peoples. Here I'm thinking of ethnographies like those produced by the Bureau of American Ethnology or by the National Museum of Man in Canada. I want to classify the ethnographies by linguistic families and to be able to seach by keywords in the text of the PDFs (most files enables keywords research nowadays). The aim of this database would be to facilitate comparative work. So, ideally, the software or the platform would allow to add another level of classification, such as a typology (X-, Y- or Z-type of conceiving a given concept). Ideally the software would also allow the database to be shared with other researchers. I know Endnote would allow this type of work, with some limits. Maybe there would be better a better way to handle this ?

I am especially interested in the Brasilian part of the Amazon, but hints on the neighbouring countries are welcome as well. Thank you.

I am interested to document the indigenous dialects in Sarawak with the hope of publishing it in the form of dictionary. What is the best app (taking into consideration my limited knowledge on IT) to use for my purpose..?

Hi all,

In the framework of my PhD research, I am looking for ethnographic studies focused on family life (in both the ancient times and the present days) among the inhabitants of Hiva Oa, Tahuata, Fatu Hiva, Nuku Hiva, Ua Pou and Ua Huka.

I am not interested in general ethnographic works, but only in studies covering the field of domestic dynamics. I will be grateful to whose able to share with me their knowledge on this topic.

Thank you very much
