Description:Dr. Carlos Fausto, ethnologist of the Kuikuro Project, asks to the old Hopese, helped by his son Tsana, to give information about the Kuikuro history. The session was recorded in the researchers house, at the Kuikuro village of Ipatse.
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 = 'interview', Discursive = 'explanation', Performance = 'oral-history'. These values have been added as Keys to the Content information.
Carlos Fausto, ethnologist of the Kuikuro Project, asks to the old Hopesé to tell about the history of the Kuikuro local group, through the sequence of the "masters of the big house (tajühe oto)", of chiefs (anetü), of villages (changes of village localization). The old Hopesé answers with a free narrative, helped and complemented by his son Tsana. He tells about the relations of the Kuikuro with other upper Xingu groups and the relation of the Kuikuro territory with the territories of the other upper Xingu groups. He gives mythical references linked to specific (historical) places and sings songs related to old rituals and feasts realized in the old villages.
Carlos Fausto, researcher, is the interviewer or the stimulus of the conversation. Hopesé is one of the oldest Kuikuro men and appreciated for his good memory of past events, the sequence of chiefs, rituals and of the kinship network. His son, Tsana, is a kind of an apprentice of the father memores and knowledge. Jawapa - a mature woman - is an occasional but interested listener, ready to give complementary information when needed.
One of the oldest Kuikuro, Hopese is a ritual specialist and among the last and few knowers of the Kuikuro traditions and history.
Ak is one of the Kuikuro chief, the hugogo oto, "master of the plaza".
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).
