Description:Session recorded by the Kuikuro video team, specifically by Takumã, one of its members, at the house of the old Tugupé, grand-father of Takumã. The session is part of the documentation of the pequi economic and ritual complex.
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.
The old Tugupé tells a "true story" (akinhá ekugu), the myth of the origin of the pequi tree (and fruits, Caryocar brasiliense) as well as of the Hugagü ritual (or feast), linked to the pequi economic and ritual complex.
Tugupé is one of the oldest kuikuro men, a ritual specialist and story-teller. His son Samuagü is now the headman of the house where Tugupé lives.
Takumã is a young man, son of Samuagü and Tapualu, grand-son of Tugupé and Kamihú, one of the Kuikuro video-makers. He learned to read and write at the village school.
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).
