		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 = 'narrative (personal)'. These values have been added as Keys to the Content information.
		Magika, member of the Kuikuro video team triggers the talk of Kalusi, an old and powerful shaman. Kalusi gives his version of the sikness of a Kalapalo woman, Tapualu, "beaten" by Hyper-Hummingbird, a supernatural being amd one of the "owners" of the pequi (Caryocar brasiliense). He tells how he made the diagnosis and the cure, with the other kuikuro shamans, identifying the Hyper-Hummimgbird as the causer of the woman sickness. Then, he explains who are the other supernatural beings "owners/masters" of the pequi (based on the the myth about the origin of the tree and its fruits). He explains also how Samuagü, a kuikuro man, became the "owner/master" of the hugagü ritual, realized in order to pacify the supernatural being. Magika, a member of the kuikuro video team, asks some questions, as well as the researcher Carlos Fausto.
		Kalusi is in theses days the most powerful and respected shaman among the Kuikuro of the Ipatse village.
		Magiká is a main member, a kind of coordinator, of the Kuikuro video team. He is son of Tabata (Ugisapá), brother of the main chief, Tahukula, and a very sensitive and intelligent young man. He lived for periods of months in towns like Sao Paulo, Brasilia, Goiania and Rio de Janeiro, where he studied in schools and tried to become a soccer. He is very intelligent, always searching for something to do at the borders between the indigenous and the white ways of life. Is one of the main consultant of the Project, having learned how to use computers, programs, transcriptions, etc.
		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).
