Description:This video recording was made by 017, the health assistant of the village. SD is participating in the dance performance.
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.

Awetí among the Awetí. Partially Awetí, partially Portuguese with the researcher.
The male members of the Awetí community are performing a Jawari dance. Since the collector is directly involved in the performance the filming is done by 017.
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.
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.
