Description:The session contains two video recordings (jamurikumã1+2.mpg), showing the preparations for the women's feast of Jamurikumã in the Awetí village. The dancing is performed by Awetí women of all ages in the village centre near the men's house. The owner of the feast, dancing in the middle of the women's row, is the chief's first wife 147. The feast itself took place after the researchers had left the village. The video recordings are from the 18th and the 25th of May, both around 6:30 p.m. The audio recordings, capturing the typical tunes sung by the women, are from the 16th and 25th of May. The recordings are of cultural value to the Awetí Project.
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 women of the Awetí community.
The Jamurikumã-cerimony is performed by the female members of the Awetí-community. The chief's first wife 147 in her function as the owner of the feast is dancing in the centre, positioned to her left and right are the two wives of 083, the second most prestigious person in the village. There were more performances of this kind with less participants during the researchers stay in the village which have not been recorded. At these occasions the participants were predominantly young women. The recorded performances are preparatory. The actual Jamurikumã celebration took place when the researchers had already left the village.
