A Report on the Uilta Objects Stored in the Hokkaido Museum of Northern Peoples Vol. I

Especially about corresponding vocabulary in the northern dialect (3)

Abstract

Hokkaido Museum of Northern Peoples stores many items of the artifacts from the southern group of the Uilta. This work is aimed to provide the Uilta vocabulary and the cultural information about these items. This is the third number of the reports of our work, in which we gave an interview to one of the speakers of the Uilta northern dialect. In the interview we showed some photos of the above-mentioned items and asked how to call them in her own dialect. Then, we compared her answers to the lexical descriptions in literature and by another speaker. In this paper, the results of the interview and the related lexical descriptions are reported in the form of a list for reference. Throughout this work, it is expected to observe not only the dialectal differences between north and south, but also some ethnographical idea of the Uilta.
