Hokkaido Museum of Northern Peoples houses the “Hattori Collection”, which includes a lot of materials of Attu dialect of Aleut (Unangan) language and Aleut culture. Takeshi Hattori (1909-1991), a well-known linguist as the expert of the Nivkh language, researched the Aleut language in 1943 at Otaru city in Hokkaido, Japan. In those days, all Aleuts of the Attu island were interned in Otaru because of Aleutian Islands campaign between the Japanese and U.S. Army. This paper reveals Hattori’s grammatical study of Aleut by transcribing and editing several materials (T-227-8, T-227-10 and a portion of T-227-11a). These materials are handwritten memorandums and mainly focus on Aleut grammar. There are two styles of phonetic notation and writing in these materials. We presume that style A was used by Hattori and style B was used by his informant. We edited these materials and added the editors’notes. These materials will support our understanding of Hattori’s study and future studies of the Aleut language.

In the Sakha Republic of the Russian Federation, reindeer herding has been the traditional livelihood of the small ethnic groups, such as the Evenki, Even, Dolgan and Chukchi. These herding practices have continued to have cultural importance in the Sakha Republic despite major social and economic changes. The purpose of this paper is to provide an overview of the number of reindeer kept in the Sakha Republic, since the collapse of the Soviet Union, by analyzing statistical data from the Sakha Republic. The analysis of the statistical data in this paper showed the following (1) Reindeer herding in the Sakha Republic as a whole has not recovered from the decline following the collapse of the Soviet Union. (2) Reindeer herding in the Sakha Republic is mainly conducted by agricultural organizations. (3) Reindeer herding has been practiced in the Sakha Republic except in Central Yakutia and the Vilyui River valley, where horses and cattle are widely raised. (4) Reindeer herding has been particularly active in Anabar, Bulun, Ust'-Yan, and Nizhnekolym counties along the Arctic Ocean coast, Eveno-Buitantay and Kobyai counties in central area, Tompo, Oimyakon, and Mom counties in eastern area, and Aldan county in southern area. (5) The pattern of change in the number of reindeer differs by county. Comparing the major reindeer herding counties, there is an increasing trend in Anabar and Ust'-Yan, but a decreasing trend in many other counties. (6) In Ust'-Yan and Tompo counties, the number of reindeer increased dramatically in 2000. (7) In Allaikhov, Olenyok, Suntar, and Ust’-May counties, where reindeer herding was once popular, the number of reindeer declined rapidly after 1990, and is now stagnant. Through analysis of other sources, I intend to clarify the factors that contribute to the variation in the number of reindeer in each county

As part of the Hokkaido Museum of Northern Peoples’2022 Prehistoric Research Project, a survey was conducted on Okhotsk Culture of Yagishiri and Teuri Islands. The purpose of this study is to clarify the aspects of Okhotsk Culture on the Sea of Japan side of Hokkaido region following the previous year’s research on Okushiri Island. On July 6, I visited the Haboro Town Museum to inspect archaeological facts, on July 7, I visited the archaeological sites of Okhotsk Culture on both islands and the Yagishiri regional Museum to inspect archaeological facts, and on July 8, I visited the Teuri Furusato-kan (a regional museum) to inspect archaeological facts. In this report, I will report on the results of these studies and discuss some of the characteristics of Okhotsk Culture on the two islands. Okhotsk Culture of Yagishiri and Teuri Islands is thought to have been active from the Susuya type period to the Chinsenmon type pottery and the gijo-haritsukemon pottery period, based on the pottery excavated so far. During this period, Okhotsk Cultural groups on both islands continued to interact not only with the northern Hokkaido group, but also with the eastern and southern Hokkaido groups, as indicated by the excavation of jar-shaped pottery with affixed designs. Imitations of the Satsumon type pottery by Okhotsk Culture group were found not only in eastern Hokkaido, but also on the islands of Yagishiri and Teuri. Based on the age of the pottery imitations, the period is estimated to be from the early to mid-9th century. This is chronologically consistent with the Okhotsk type pottery excavated in Yagishiri and Teuri Islands, which dates to the 8th century.

The ritual sword strap called emusat in the Ainu dialect of Hokkaido, is used by Ainu men to wear a sword during rituals. The belt is woven with bark fibers and cotton threads in intricate geometric patterns, and the tassels are decorated with a wide variety of fabrics and embroidery. In this study, the belt part was defined as a textile and classified as such. The results cleared that various advanced weaving techniques were used.

Prof. IKEGAMI Jirō (1920-2011 ; Professor Emeritus, Hokkaido University) is a linguist who conducted extensive studies on northern languages from the 1940s to the 2000s. He made remarkable contributions especially to the study of the Tungusic languages. Many of his published works are descriptive studies on Manchu and Uilta (formerly known as Orok) among the Tungusic languages. Hokkaido Museum of Northern Peoples has a collection of Prof. IKEGAMI’s former library materials, donated by his bereaved family. This collection is called Ikegami Bunko. The present article provides a list of all 286 sound materials in the Ikegami Bunko that he used in his research and studies. This list is not intended to present the audio contents recorded on each medium, but rather the (often handwritten) entries on the cases and labels. When the contents seem to be related to Prof. IKEGAMI’s publications and/or his notebooks, some references have been added so that they can be checked against them. The list of all 158 notebooks in the Ikegami Bunko was provided by the present author as a report “Prof. IKEGAMI Jirō’s Notebooks in the Collection of Hokkaido Museum of Northern Peoples (a List with References)” (Bulletin of the Hokkaido Museum of Northern Peoples 31, pp.85-115. 2022).
