A study for collecting basic information and constructing database on the plant resource utilization and plant names of the Nivkh

在这三年中，我们通过三次田野调查，获得了尼维克族人利用各种草本植物、灌木和乔木的大量信息，并获得了关于各种浆果的进一步信息，包括采摘季节、地点和栖息地。他们还获得了一种传统食物--浆果和鲑鱼或鲑鱼的混合物的详细信息，并将其制作成视频。此外，还发现了一些在之前的研究中未被证实使用的植物物种，如高山凤头(Polygonum Vivparum)。这些成果不仅为尼夫克族对植物资源的传统和现代利用提供了新的认识，也为尼夫克族人民开展自己的传统文化活动做出了贡献。

We got a lot of information about the utilization of various herbs, shrubs and trees by the Nivkh people through conducting fieldworks three times in the three years.About various berries, further information including gathering seasons, places and habitats was obtained. Detailed information about a traditional food, which is mixture of berries and salmon or trout, was obtained as well and the preparations of them were recorded on video.Some plant species that were not confirmed to be used in the previous study, such as alpine bistort (Polygonum viviparum), were also found. Many plant names and related words in Nivkh language were also collected.These results not only bring new knowledge about the traditional and modern usage of plant resources by the Nivkh, but also contribute to their own traditional cultural activities by the Nivkh people.
