Andoa Field Materials
- Collection identifier: 2020-05
- Primary contributors: Dionisia Arahuanaza (consultant, depicted); Lidia Arahuanaza (consultant, depicted); Juan Mucushua (consultant, depicted); María Sandi (consultant, depicted); Christine Beier (author, researcher, depicted, donor); Ramón Escamilla (author, researcher, depicted); Lev Michael (author, researcher, depicted, donor); Marta Piqueras-Brunet (author, researcher, depicted)
- Additional contributors: Catherine Peeke (author, researcher); Mary Sargent (author); Pedro Mucushúa (translator)
- Language: Andoa (anb)
- Dates: Jun 2009
- Historical information: Andoa (also: Katsakáti) is a language of the Zaparoan family. Its sister languages include Arabela [arl], Iquito [iqu] and Záparo [zro] (also: Zápara, Sápara). The entire Zaparoan family is critically endangered: according to the 'Iquito-English Dictionary' (Michael et al. 2019 and sources therein) as of 2011, Arabela had about 30 remaining speakers; as of 2020, Iquito had fewer than 10 remaining fluent native speakers; as of 2014, Záparo had only a few rememberers; and by 2009 Andoa had already fallen silent. Peeke (1959) indicates that by 1951 Andoa had already been replaced by a variety of Kichwa as the language of daily use.
  Juan Mucushua, María Sandi, and all of the other inheritors of Andoa/Katsakáti who participated in the field research activities associated with this collection lived at that time in the community of Andoas Viejo, located on the Pastaza River roughly 27 miles from the Peru/Ecuador border and 432 miles from Iquitos (the capital of Loreto).
  The field research that resulted in this collection was carried out in 2009 by a team of four researchers: Christine Beier (CMB), Lev Michael (LDM), Marta Piqueras-Brunet (MPB), and Ramón Escamilla (RME). The project was designed by CMB and LDM with two goals: linguistic documentation and language revalorization. These goals were operationalized based on local conditions as assessed upon arrival in Andoas Viejo in June 2009. The first goal was met by recording (bundles 001-005) and analyzing (bundle 008) as much linguistic information as we could during a week-long intensive fieldwork period in Andoas Viejo. The second goal was made tangible by returning the results of our field research in printed form (bundle 007) to participants and other community members after five additional days of work in the closest major town, San Lorenzo.

- Language: Chungli Ao
- Dates: 2008-2009
- Historical information: This collection consists of materials produced by students of the graduate-level field methods course in the Department of Linguistics at UC Berkeley between September 2008 and May 2009, with some additional materials from one student extending through September 2009. The course was co-taught by professors Alice Gaby and Lev Michael, and the language consultant was Moa Imchen. All other listed contributors were students in the course.
- Scope and content: Sound recordings of elicitation and texts, transcriptions, student assignments. The collection is organized into five series: Series I, sound recordings of in-class and small-group elicitation sessions, arranged chronologically (many with transcriptions in .trs files openable in Transcriber); Series II, clipped sound recordings of lexical items (with relations to the original recordings from which they were extracted); Series III, interlinear texts (an assignment for each student); and Series IV, remaining student assignments. Most file bundles containing sound recordings contain content descriptions based on metadata spreadsheets maintained by each student in the course.

- Additional contributors: Danny Ammon (researcher); Kayla Begay (researcher); Sara Chase (researcher); Suzi Demitrescu (researcher); Nicholas Fleisher (researcher); Andrew Garrett (researcher); Melodie George-Moore (researcher); Victor Golla (researcher); Silis Jackson (researcher); Alex Jacobson (researcher); Christine Kelly (researcher); Tyler Lee-Wynant (researcher); Jacalyn Martins (researcher); Ophelia Mose (researcher); Anne Pycha (researcher); Xuying Yuki Yu (researcher); Verdena Parker (creator); Catalin Kaser (participant); Perry Lincoln (participant); Otis Parker (participant); Keren Rice (participant); Becqui Willis (participant)
- Languages: Hupa; Karuk (kyh); Yurok (yur)
- Dates: 2005-
- Historical information: Verdena Parker was born and raised in 1936 in Hoopa Valley, California, and speaks Hupa as her first language. She later moved with her family to Winston, Oregon but continued to speak Hupa daily until the death of her mother in 1997. One of the few remaining first-language speakers of Hupa, in the early 2000s she got involved with Hupa revitalization and documentation activities, serving as a consulting expert on the Hupa language for various projects and classes in Hoopa Valley. Beginning in 2005 she also collaborated with researchers based in the Department of Linguistics at the University of California, Berkeley.
- Scope and content: The recordings in this collection are the result of Verdena Parker's longstanding collaboration with researchers affiliated with the Hupa Language Documentation Project, which originated at UC Berkeley in 2005. Ramón Escamilla and Justin Spence joined the project in 2007, and they have continued the research effort since moving to the University of Central Arkansas and the University of California, Davis, respectively. Some of the recordings from 2008-2010 were produced with support from an Endangered Languages Documentation Programme grant (co-PIs Amy Campbell and Lindsey Newbold). Recordings produced from 2015 to 2020 were funded by a grant from the National Science Foundation's Documenting Endangered Languages program (BCS #1500851, co-PIs Spence and Escamilla). The recordings cover a broad range of topics: original texts told by Mrs. Parker, including narrations of 8mm films she recorded in the 1960s; sessions in which recordings are transcribed and/or translated; elicitation of paradigms, grammatical phenomena such as evidentiality, purpose clauses, and indefinites, and words and phrases for use in language revitalization programs; re-transcription and translation of unpublished texts found in archival sources. Some of the recordings that were transcribed and translated are part of existing collections at the Survey of California and Other Indian Languages, or they are part of the the present deposit.

The Verdena Parker Collection of Hupa Sound Recordings and Films
- Collection identifier: LA256
- Primary contributor: Verdena Parker (speaker, author, creator)
- Additional contributors: Silis Jackson (speaker); Verdena Parker (singer); Ramón Escamilla (author); Justin Spence (author, donor)
- Language: Hupa
- Dates: circa 2003-2006
- Extent: 35 cassette tapes, 6 film reels
- Historical information: Verdena Parker was born and raised in 1936 in Hoopa Valley, California, and speaks Hupa as her first language. She later moved with her family to Winston, Oregon but continued to speak Hupa daily until the death of her mother in 1997. One of the few remaining first-language speakers of Hupa, in the early 2000s she got involved with Hupa revitalization and documentation activities, serving as a consulting expert on the Hupa language for various projects and classes in Hoopa Valley. Beginning in 2005 she also collaborated with researchers based in the Department of Linguistics at the University of California, Berkeley.
- Scope and content: The recordings in this collection are the result of Verdena Parker's efforts to document her knowledge of the Hupa language for posterity. From approximately 2003 to 2006, she created a series of cassette tapes featuring her speaking Hupa for use in language revitalization programs. The recordings include a wide variety of texts (traditional stories, oral history, and other narrative genres), vocabulary, translations of English texts into Hupa, and observations on traditional and contemporary life in Hoopa Valley. Some of the texts are told in Hupa alternating with English translations, but many others are told in Hupa alone.
  In addition, at an earlier date (circa 1959-1966), Mrs. Parker created a series of 8mm films documenting Brush Dances and including footage of home life. (See descriptions in LA256.039.) These have been digitized with financial support from the National Science Foundation's Documenting Endangered Languages program and from the National Film Preservation Foundation. The sound recordings are included in file bundles 001-037, including a subseries 021-030 of texts narrated entirely in Hupa. Related documents are included in 038-039, and the six films are in 040-045. Date ranges are approximations, and not intended to mean that the materials were created throughout that time period.
