Description:The recording took place under the roof outside te researchers' house behind a windscreen around 9:30 a.m. The session is a kind of male counterpart to the session 049_dry_seas, in which 049 describes a typical day in the dry season under a female perspective. There is an audio and a video recording to this session.
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.
026 gives a description of a typical day for an Awetí man during the dry season.
026's description is exclusively in Awetí. Remarks or question by SD are in Portuguese.
026 and Sebastian Drude do not have a very close relationship which may be due to the fact that 026, who is kind of a lone wolf, does not participate much in village life and did not show much interest in the documentation project in the past. They are, however, on friendly terms.
The main researcher of the Aweti Project. See description of Collector.
146 is the main chief of the village. His father, 157, left the village in the seventies, giving up his chief-hood. 146 grew up with the Kamayurá, got in contact with the brazilian air-force and moved outside the village for some years in order to study and eventually take over a position in the self-administration of the Park. He then met his older wife (147) at the Kamayurá and decided to go back into the Park before finishing his studies. Later he married 147's younger sister, 148. Both do not speak (but understand) Awetí. When 146's father was asked to come back as a chief, he declined, but suggested his oldest son, 146, to take the position with his advice. The community constructed a large house around 1996 in order to receive 146 as a real chief. SInce then, he is in charge.
The principal researcher of the Aweti Project. Wissenschaftlicher Mitarbeiter (teaching and research assistant), Free University Berlin / Germany. Magister Artium in Linguistics (Free University of Berlin, 1997). Two-year DAAD fellowship at Museu Goeldi, Belém, 1997--1999. PhD in Linguistics (Free University of Berlin, 2002). Initiated field research among the Aweti in 1998. Field stays: July--October 1998, September--October 1999, June--August 2001, June--August 2002, May--July 2003, May--June 2004, Feb 2005, Nov 2005
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.
