This paper addresses the question how and why cultural knowledge should be part of dictionaries for endangered and under-described languages. Experiences gained from a dictionary project of the endangered Marquesan languages in French Polynesia will exemplify some of the problems and challenges a field lexicographer faces when documenting endangered lexical and cultural knowledge. Lexicography in and for endangered speech communities differs to some degree quite substantially from conventional models of lexicography. There are a number of special requirements and demands on the lexicographer or field linguist in order to compile a dictionary for the speech community as well as the academic audiences in a satisfactory way. The result is an ethnographic ‘documentation dictionary’ which has not only become an essential, but also an integral part of a language documentation project.
