Description:		The session was recorded firstly in a pequizal (place where several pequi trees were planted), not far from the village, and secondly, back to the village, in the house of another kuikuro man. The video session was recorded by the Kuikuro video team (five young men) as part of the documentation of the pequi economic and ritual cycle.
		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 = 'Unspecified'. These values have been added as Keys to the Content information.
		The young Jamalui walks in a "pequizal" (place where pequi trees, Caryocar brasilienese, were planted by the owner of the "pequizal"), not far from the village; he is collecting fruits, showing and describing different types of the fruits (pequi species). On the background, it is possible to hear the strong sound of the cicadas, characteristic of the end of the dry season, the pequi fruits time. After this, Jamalui goes back to the village carrying some pequi fruits. He reachs the house of Tsana, a mature man and a ritual specialist. Inside the house, Tsana is making a very traditional and valued piece of the upper Xingu karib groups material culture: a necklace made with terrestrial snails. Jamalui shows to him the fruits that he found in the "pequizal", puts them on the ground and begins a conversation with the other man, asking for explanations on the "pequi way of being". Tsana explains the native know-how for storing the pequi pulp, some aspects of the pequi economy and ritual cycle. He talks about the Hugagü feast (or ritual) and sings some Hugagü songs (birds songs and the fox song).
		Jamalui is a young kuikuro man brother of one of the kuikuro teachers (Mutuá), son of Ipi (kuikuro woman) and Kumantxi (a Mehinaku man, arawak). He is very intelligent and always ready to learn new things. He is a good native researcher and he likes to transcribe and translate recordings made with old people. He learned to write and read at the local 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).
