ニヴフ語調査に関する樺太庁敷香支庁土人事務所との往復文書

抄録

A lot of documents of Dr. HATTORI Takeshi (1909-1991) who was a linguist of the Nivkh language, were contributed to the Hokkaido Museum of Northern Peoples. This paper shows the documents between Dr. HATTORI and the office for indigenous peoples to invite Nivkh informants from Sakhalin to the town of Sapporo in Japan where he lived in 1941-42. We can know from these documents that the informants were dispatched by the officer for indigenous peoples of the branch office Shisuka (now Poronaisk in Sakhalin} of Karafuto Government (one of the Japanese colonial government and ended in 1945). These documents are very significant to know the policy for indigenous peoples of Karafuto Government in Sakhalin and the relation between researcher, government and indigenous peoples.
