Description
Summary:This article describes a collaborative project for language documentation involving the North American indigenous languages of Mohave & Chemehuevi. We define the essential elements of field methods & of project design while proposing a basic model for collaborative community-based projects in language documentation. Our recommendations apply to community-based projects in North American indigenous communities; however, we anticipate that they will be extendable worldwide to others working in the field of language documentation.
