Sumi Seki oral history interview
No full textDale Sato interviewed Sumi Seki at Sato's home in Long Beach on March 29, 2004. Joh Sekiguichi monitored the recording equipment and Lily Nakatani took notes during the interview. Sumi Seki grew up at White's Point on the coast of the Palos Verdes Peninsula. Her Issei parents were pioneers in clearing land for farming. They cultivated land they leased from Roman Sepulveda. Seki attended local public schools. After Japan attacked Pearl Harbor, she was given the silent treatment by her Caucasian classmates and neighbors. Her family was sent to the incarceration camp at Jerome, near Denson, Arkansas. After WWII she worked in Chicago at a variety of jobs. Seki resettled in Long Beach where she worked at the Douglas Aircraft plant. In the 1980s, Seki joined the Japanese American redress movement as one of the few Nisei involved. They were successful in winning an apology and reparations from the US government. She feels that this effort marked the highlight of her life. Seki was interviewed as part of the South Bay Historical Project created by the South Bay Chapter of the Japanese American Citizens League.Includes sixteen oral histories reflecting the various experiences of South Bay Issei and Nisei. Some grew up on farms and others in suburban area; some were incarcerated during WWII in incarceration camps and some spent all or part of the war working and living in other parts of the US or Japan.

Evaluation of a language documentation project in Nagaland
No full textSumi is an endangered Tibeto-Burman language of Nagaland, North East India that has recently been the focus of a documentation project that looks at traditional agricultural songs and stories. This presentation offers an evaluation of the project. We assess the data collected for the project, in light of the different priorities of the language community (as represented by the Sumi Cultural Association) and those of academic research. We demonstrate how some of these different priorities have influenced the type and quality of the data that have been collected.
Just as importantly, we examine the ways that this project has affected the identities of both the native and non-native researcher, and how these may have impacted on the various accomplishments and shortcomings of the project. More specifically, we consider the native researcher’s position as a younger woman in cultural settings that are typically dominated by older men, comparing her experience with that of other researchers who are also ‘insiders’ in their respective communities (e.g. Chavez, 2008). We also consider the non-native researcher’s position as a foreigner who is often mistaken for a local, comparing his experience with those of other foreign researchers who physically resemble people in the communities they work with (Fadzillah, 2004). Finally, we consider the assumptions the two researchers have made about each other in terms of identity and how this has led to communication successes and failures.
We feel that an understanding of the effects on the identities of the researchers is relevant to an evaluation of the current project, and that it also has significant implications for future projects with the language community. We also hope that an understanding of these issues will help inform other similar community-based language documentation projects.
