This project documents the linguistic practices of the Gildapasi community in Madang province, Papua New Guinea. There are four languages indigenous to Gildipasi, all of which are poorly documented and endangered. Through recordings of narratives, interviews, group dialogues, and bush walks, we document two realms of knowledge important to Gildipasi community members: tumbuna stories, traditional stories connecting language communities to the landscape, and tumbuna knowledge, the knowledge of traditional practices for living off the land, such as traditional medicine, canoe-building, and hunting practices.
