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

通过三年三次的实地考察，我们获得了许多关于尼夫赫人利用各种草本植物、灌木和树木的信息。关于各种浆果，进一步的信息，包括收集季节，地点和栖息地。他们还获得了一种传统食物的详细资料，这种食物是浆果和鲑鱼或鳟鱼的混合物，制作过程也被录了下来。此外，还发现了一些先前研究中未被证实使用的植物物种，如高寒史蒿（Polygonum viviparum）。还收集了许多尼夫克语植物名称及相关词汇。这些研究结果不仅为尼夫赫人对植物资源的传统和现代利用带来了新的认识，而且为尼夫赫人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.
