Description:The session was recorded by Dr Carlos Fausto (ethnologist of the research team) inside the house of the researchers, at the Kuikuro village of Ipatse. The old Hopesé likes to spend hours with the researchers, telling stories and explaining aspects of the Kuikuro culture and social life.
The Project "Linguistic, Historical and Ethnographical Documentation of the Upper Xingu Carib Language or Kuikuro (Brazil)"began in December 200 in the context of the DOBES Program supported by the Volkswagen Stiftung and with the technical support of the Max Planck Institute for Psycholinguistics (Nijmegen).
This file was generated from an IMDI 1.9 file and transformed to IMDI 3.0. The substructure of Genre is replaced by two elements named "Genre" and "SubGenre". The original content of Genre substructure was: Interactional = 'narrative', Discursive = 'explanation', Performance = 'narrative'. These values have been added as Keys to the Content information.
Hopesé tells one of the "true stories" (akinha ekugu) whose main character is a kind of Hikutaha (Water Turtle), called Kusétani or Hikutaha Ku~egü, an itseke (hyper being). The akinha explains the origin of the birds songs.
One of the oldest Kuikuro, Hopese is a ritual specialist and among the last and few knowers of the Kuikuro traditions and history.
Carlos Fausto is ethnologist and permanent consultant of the Project. Professor of the Graduate Program in Social Anthropology of the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro (National Museum). Researcher of the National Counsel for Scientific and Technological development (CNPq). He is doing field research among the Kuikuro since 1998 and he realized researches on other amazonian indigenous groups (Parakanã, a Tupi-Guarani group leaving in the state of Pará, Brazil).
