Description:		This session contains the audio recording of a conversation between several Awetí men and Sebastian Drude in which the Awetí names of local species of fish are elicited. This is done by means of a chart with drawings of the fish presented in media file fish_chart.mpg. The recording takes place under the roof outside the researchers' house. ###
		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 a conversation among several Awetí men who are regarded as authorities in matters of natural environment in which the Awetí names of fish of the region are elicited. As a stimulus they are presented a chart with drawings of local fish by SD.
		SD shows pictures and asks questions partially in Awetí and partially in Portugese. The consultants gives answers in Awetí. The names are partially repeated by the researcher.
		The Awetí men who participate in the elicitation task are all regarded as authorities in some respect. Especially 026 is an expert in matters such as the traditional names of animals and plants. ###
		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.
		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.
		118 is an adult man with a large family. His wife is 121. Two of his daughters (119 and 122) are married with 085, the younger of the two teachers. 118 is a son of a Trumai (075), so he is a half-brother of 132.
