Description:An autobiographical relatory given by 026, one of the older men of the village. There is an audio and a video recording to this session. The main part of the session is on media files 026_autobiogr2.wav and 026_autobiogr2.mpg. Introductory and concluding remarks are on separate media files.
This project aims at the documentation of the Awetí Language and aspects of the Awetí culture. Awetí is a tupian language of a small speech community of the same name at the southern edge of the Amazon rain forest, in the Xingú reserve, Mato Grosso, central Brazil. The project was funded December 2000--April 2006 by the VolkswagenStiftung in the Documentation of Endangered Languages Programme (DOBES). The principal researcher, Sebastian Drude, initianted his research among the Aweti in 1998. Sabine Reiter participated as a freelancer in 2001 and as research assistant (including conducting field research) from 2002 on. The Awetí participated intensively in the project. At least one person of each houshold provided individual texts, the community agreed to be documented in day-to-day activities and during special events such as rituals. Several Awetí got involved in the further processing of the documentation data, especially by assisting in the creation of transcriptions and translations during the 9 field trips and in 8 visits of two to three speakers in Belém or Canarana.
Sebastian gives a short introduction which is translated by 017 before 026, one of the more experienced older men in the Awetí community, starts to tell his autobiography.
Portuguese is the language used by SD to explain the task. Since the consultant does not have a sufficient knowledge of Portuguese the task is translated into Awetí.
SD asks the consultant, 026, to tell his autobiography. 017 translates between SD and 026.
026 is one of the few elder members of the Awetí. He is son of an important chief, but his father died before he could teach him sufficient of his knowledge and skills for 026 feel save being a chief himself; therefore he rejects to be any more than a regular member of the village. His oldest son, 030, is a very respected adult. His second son and his doughters left to the second village in 2002.
The main researcher of the Aweti Project. See description of Collector.
017 is an older brother of the 018. He is, despite his age, not married. He is being trained as an "Agente de saúde" (auxiliar male nurse). He participated in the first training courses for teachers, and he is literate in Portuguese. He is one of the many sons of 009 (Kamayurá) and 010, who left the village in 2002. Of his family, only 018 and his sister 019 (married to 132) stayed in the main village.
