Koryak fishing

For Koryaks (Nymylans) living on the northern west coast of Kamchatka around the village of Lesnaya, fishing plays a special role as one of their important means of livelihood. In the films that are shown here, indigenous people report on the schedules of their activities in connection with the seasonal emergence of the various fish species and on the fishing territories of individual families. Throughout the films, worldviews and values regarding the preservation of fish resources are addressed, and are reinforced through rituals and community events where they are passed on to younger generations. Along with practical knowledge, this apparently provides the essential foundation for sustainable resource management that indigenous populations have obviously well understood for many generations. In these films, the comprehensive indigenous knowledge of older Nymylans (see below) - most of whom are no longer alive - is documented, especially also for their descendants:

• Belousova, Varvara Kondrat'evna
• Nesterova, Evdokiia Lukinichna
• Popov, Sergei Antonovich
• Urkachan, Aleksandra Trifonovna
• Urkachan, Semion Trifonovich
• Yaganov, Vladimir Sergeevich
• Yaganova, Ekaterina Grigor'evna

In den hier gezeigten Filmen berichten Einheimische über saisonale Abläufe ihrer Aktivitäten in Verbindung mit dem jahreszeitlich bedingten Aufkommen der verschiedenen Fischarten und über Fischfangterritorien einzelner Familien. Immer wieder werden Weltbiild und Werte im Hinblick auf den Erhalt der Fischressourcen angesprochen, welches über gemeinschaftliche Rituale bekräftigt und jüngeren Generationen vermittelt wird. Neben praktischem Wissen bildet dies offenbar die wesentliche Grundlage für ein nachhaltiges Ressourcenmanagement, auf dass sich indigene Bevölkerungen seit unzähligen Generationen verstanden. In diesen Filmen ist das umfassende indigene Wissen älterer Nymylanen (s.u.) – von denen die meisten nicht mehr leben – vor allem auch für ihre Nachfahren festgehalten:</p>\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n    <li>Belousova, Varvara Kondrat'evna</li>\r\n    <li>Nesterova, Evdokiia Lukinichna</li>\r\n    <li>Popov, Sergei Antonovich</li>\r\n    <li>Urkachan, Aleksandra Trifonovna</li>\r\n    <li>Urkachan, Semion Trifonovich</li>\r\n    <li>Yaganov, Vladimir Sergeevich</li>\r\n    <li>Yaganova, Ekaterina Grigor'evna</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n",
