Description:This session, containing shorter dialogs between 157, his sister, his son and SD, was recorded within the session 157_kwat-lang, interrupting the narrative process during which 157 tells different myths and other stories of the Awetí oral history. The recording was realized inside the Kamayurá village in the afternoon. There is an audio recording only. SD, 2006-05: it seems that these dialogues are basically with 017 in Portuguese, not with 157? Check!
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.
The session consists of several shorter dialogs between 157, his sister, his departing son and the researcher. The dialogs are an interruption to a narration of the Awetí oral history which were the actual reason for the recording.
157 tells the stories in Awetí. Portuguese is the contact language by which SD communicates with 157, but he also speaks Awetí at a basic level. 157 speaks Awetí with his sister and his son, and sometimes Kamayurá with his daughters-in-law and grandchildren.
157 treats Sebastian like a kind of foster son and also calls him "son". In return, Sebastian considers 157 to be his "father" and accordingly treats him with the highest respect.
The main researcher of the Aweti Project. See description of Collector.
157 used to be the chief of the Awetí village until approximately 1970. In 2001, he continues to live among the Kamayurá. His son 146 is the current principal chief in the Awetí village. 157 is arguably the person who best knows the oral tradition in Awetí, and one of the strongest shamans of the region.
