Description:In this 50 minute video recording that is transcribed and translated into Spanish, the well known wao warrier Awa Baiwa begins by relating how a Wao group was decimated by Peruvians (probably rubber prospectors) who were capturing people to take to Peru to work. He describes in some detail the strategies the Waorani used to avoid detection by hiding deep in the jungle. He then describes various conflicts, negotiations and alliances amongst the Waorani, including how and why the Taromenga left to live isolated and uncontacted in the jungle. He then talks about incidents related to the first contact between the Waorani and outsiders including: raids the Waorani carried out against colonists; the first incidents where missionary planes came to drop supplies; and how the Waorani retreated deeper into the jungle to avoid the diseases the newcomers were bringing. He also discusses Waorani reactions to new items and food brought by the foreigners. The recording ends with a discussion of traditional dress.
En esta grabación de video de 50 minutos que se transcribe y traduce al español, el conocido guerrero Awa Baiwa comienza relatando cómo un grupo de wao fue diezmado por peruanos (probablemente buscadores de caucho) que capturaban personas para llevar al Perú. Describe con cierto detalle las estrategias que utilizaron los waorani para evitar la detección al esconderse en las profundidades de la selva. Luego describe varios conflictos, negociaciones y alianzas entre los waorani, incluyendo cómo y por qué los taromenga se fueron a vivir aislados y sin contacto en la selva. Luego, habla sobre incidentes relacionados con el primer contacto entre los waorani y los forasteros. Incluidas las incursiones que los waorani llevaron a cabo contra los colonos; los primeros incidentes en los que aviones misioneros vinieron a dejar los suministros; y cómo los waorani se retiraron más profundamente en la selva para evitar las enfermedades que traían los recién llegados. También analiza las reacciones de los waorani a los nuevos artículos y alimentos que trajeron los extranjeros. La grabación termina con una discusión sobre el vestido tradicional.
En 2011, comenzó el proyecto de colaboración Waorani, que involucró al investigador Casey High, de Goldsmiths University of London, al investigador norteamericano Connie Dickinson, y los jóvenes Waorani, Ramón Gaba, Jorge Gaba y Oswando Nenquimo como documentalistas nativos. El objetivo principal del proyecto es registrar prácticas culturales que cubren una amplia gama de temas y contextos, desde rituales e historias tradicionales hasta conversaciones de la vida cotidiana. El proyecto también tiene como objetivo producir una base de datos que incluya un léxico de al menos 6000 palabras, así como un esquema gramatical del idioma. El proyecto recibió fondos del Hans Rausing Endangered Language Fund, SOAS, Londres, durante tres años.
