Description: The session consists of three parts with an audio and a video recording each which are the continuation of session jawari_prep1b, where Awetí men and boys got dressed and painted for the first Jawari dance at day-time. This session contains the dancing and singing of the boys and men which starts inside 042's house (part1) and continues in the village centre (part 2). This is followed by a different kind of Jawari dance performed by the Awetí men and boys. After that arrows are thrown at a target (part 3). The audio and video recordings of each part may not exactly overlap.

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 recording shows the first and the second Jawari dance at day-time. The boys and men in full ornament start their dancing cerimony inside a house and continue their performance in the village centre. After that there is the ritual of throwing arrows at a puppet.

Awetí among the Awetí. Partially Awetí, partially Portuguese with the researcher.

The male members of the Awetí community are performing a Jawari dance. The house of 042 is place of gathering and target of dances.

House-building is a task carried out by men. The owner of the new house pays the house-builders with food which is distributed in the village centre after the work has been done.

The main researcher of the Aweti Project. See description of Collector.

042 is one of the principal shamans of the Awetí village. At the same time he is the brother-in-law of 083, one of the most prestigious men in the village. There are very strong family ties between these two houses due to the double cross-cousin constellation between the children of 042 and 083. 042 is the son of 043 and 044, the oldest cuple of the village. On the other hand, 157, the father of the current chief 146, claims that 042 is his illigitimate son, therefore he is considered a brother of 146 and also calls SD as 'younger brother'.

083 is one of the few elders of the village. His father funcioned as the last chief, and he is also considered to be a (at least, secondary) chief by many members of the community. He is the most prestigeous story teller living in the village before the arrival of 157 in 2005, and one of the most powerful shamans, too. He is married to 060 (no children) and 064, whith whom he has many children, one of the teachers, 085, and 086, another transcriber for the Project, among them.

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 2004, Nov 2004

gathering in the center, all going to 042's house, there the dance starts, continuing in the center of the village, in direction to 042's house.

Full dance in the center, with women. Relaxed sitting at the men's hut.

Jawari dance with the three separate dancers being instructed by 026. then swearing a plank wich will later be replaced by a puppet.

Noises at the men's hut while the men are gathering. Almost no perceivable speech.

From the men's hut: starting of the dance in 042's house, then the dance towards the center.

First reviling, taped from the men's hut, speech is difficult to understand.
