030 is a family father and oldest son of 026. With his wife 074 he has many children, including the adult or almost adult 078 (man) 073 (boy) 079 (woman) 080 (girl). As his grandfather (same name!) was an important chief, he is highly respected even by the chief 146 and considered to be one of the leaders of the village.
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.
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.
132 is a half-brother of 118 and 074, son of the Trumai 075. He is married to 019, a sister of 018, one of the teachers. His mother, 076, is now married to the Kamayurá 077. He is a specialist in house-building (as is his step-father 077) and from 2003 on started to be trained as a singer. Respected by many due to his calm mood.
065 is the youngest child of 043 and 044, the oldest couple of the village. He is married to 128 and has three children with her :130 (born 1996), 214 (born 1999) and 215 (born 2001). He gained much respect when he stopped living with some of his relatives (his older brother 042 or his uncle 083) and built his own house in 2004.
118 repairs the inner piece (reed) of the Takwara fluit.
