Description:This is part 2 of a series of recordings showing the preparations of the Awetí community for the traditional Xingú cerimony of Jawari to which they invite the neighbouring community of the Nahukwa. The Jawari activities of the preceding days took place only among the Awetí themselves.
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.
In this session the Awetí men perform a ritual of swearing at the Jawari puppet. The ritual is carried out in the morning.
Awetí among the Awetí. Partially Awetí, partially Portuguese with the researcher.
In this recording Sebastian Drude is a non-participating observer of the preparations for the Jawari celebration.
