This audiovisual collection centers on Nelita Campos, one of the last fully fluent speakers of Iskonawa. It brings together high-resolution video materials recorded in 2018 and later, including four extended life-history recordings with transcription, Spanish translation, and comments time-aligned in ELAN (3,732 annotations). The collection also includes recordings on Iskonawa crafts and designs, in which Nelita explains traditional motifs while creating them, as well as supplementary materials with Pablo. At 6.99 GB, this collection contains the largest amount of video material in the Iskonawa corpus and represents its most recent documentation. Recordings were made by Roberto Zariquiey Biondi in the Native Communities of Chachibai and Callería and in San José de Yarinacocha, Ucayali, Peru. Transcription, translation, and ELAN processing were also carried out by Roberto Zariquiey Biondi. The research team included Roberto Zariquiey, José Antonio Mazzotti, and Carolina Rodríguez.
Licensing
Licencia Chana 2.0 — Licence for Peruvian Indigenous Language Documentation Collections

ACCESS IS GRANTED CASE BY CASE, WITH INDIVIDUAL REVIEW. Requesters must identify themselves, state their institutional affiliation, and describe the intended use in specific terms. The donor reviews each request individually and may decline without stating a reason.
This collection has been placed at the most restrictive level because of the nature of its content, not because consent is lacking. All speakers gave their authorisation. The restriction exists because this is material that should circulate with context and accompaniment rather than by open download.
Recommended Traditional Knowledge labels (Local Contexts): TK Community Use Only, TK Non-Commercial, TK Attribution.
This dataset is released under the Licencia Chana 2.0, not under a Creative Commons licence. Download is direct and unrestricted, but use is subject to the following terms.

RIGHT OF WITHDRAWAL Speakers retain the right to withdraw their recordings from this collection at any time. This is the principal reason a Creative Commons licence was not used: CC licences are irrevocable and cannot accommodate this commitment.

Forbidden Usage
Note on machine learning: this is not a blanket prohibition on ML research. Evaluating and benchmarking existing models on this data is permitted, and so is non-production academic experimentation, provided the model is not deployed, the weights are not released, and the results cite the collection. What requires authorisation is production training and weight release. The reason is that the consent forms signed before approximately 2020 do not mention AI training and cannot reasonably be read as covering it; the communities have not yet been consulted on this point.

Ethical Review
All recordings in this collection were made with the informed consent of the speakers, obtained in the field at the time of recording. Signed consent forms are held by the donor at the Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú and are available to the MDC team on request. Speakers are identified by code (S01, S02...) rather than by name, in file names, in the annotation tiers of the ELAN files, and in all accompanying documentation. Contributors are acknowledged collectively in each collection's documentation, without linking any name to any specific recording or code. A small number of individuals appear under their own names because they asked to be credited as authors of the material; this is stated explicitly in the documentation of the collections concerned. Material judged sensitive was withheld from deposit entirely rather than published under restriction. Collections involving funerary practice, medicinal knowledge, ritual knowledge, or extended life histories of identifiable individuals are published under restricted access with individual review of each request. One point remains open and is declared here rather than glossed over: the consent forms signed before approximately 2020 do not mention the use of recordings for training artificial intelligence models. They cannot reasonably be read as covering it. The communities have not yet been consulted on this specific question. Until that consultation takes place, production model training is not authorised, and the licence reflects this.
Intended Use
Video documentation of Iskonawa design and craft knowledge in the act of being practised, together with an extended life history. Intended for research on traditional technique and on the current state of the language, and for the community's own record.

Los hablantes aparecen con código, no con nombre, tanto en los nombres de archivo como en los tiers de los ELAN. Códigos usados en esta colección:
S03, S05
Créditos. Esta colección es, en lo esencial, obra de Nelita Campos, una de las
últimas hablantes plenas de iskonawa, que aparece identificada como S03. Participa además
un segundo hablante (S05).
Aquí no se aplica la seudonimización efectiva del resto del depósito, y conviene decirlo abiertamente en lugar de sostener una ficción: al haber prácticamente una sola hablante, cualquier mención en los créditos equivale a vincular el nombre con el código. Se optó por acreditarla, con su autorización, por la misma razón que en la colección 16: transmitir una historia de vida y un conocimiento artesanal sin que conste quién los transmitió sería una pérdida y no una protección.
El acceso restringido de nivel 3 sigue vigente y es aquí la salvaguarda real: no la seudonimización, sino el hecho de que cada descarga se revisa individualmente.
Nivel 3 — Acceso restringido, autorización caso por caso
| Licencia | Licencia Chana — ver LICENCIA_CHANA.md |
| Acceso en MDC | Gateado, con revisión individual de cada solicitud y justificación del uso previsto |
| Uso académico, docente y de revitalización | Permitido con atribución |
| Uso comercial y entrenamiento de IA | Requieren autorización previa y por escrito |
| Condición adicional | Reconocimiento explícito de la comunidad de origen |
Motivo del nivel 3: es una historia de vida extensa de una sola persona identificable, en video de alta resolución, y se trata de una de las últimas hablantes plenas de iskonawa.

Consentimiento: ✅ existe autorización de los hablantes (declarado por el donante, agosto de 2026). El nivel 3 aquí no responde a falta de consentimiento, sino a la naturaleza del contenido: es material que conviene que circule con acompañamiento, no en descarga abierta.
