Description:A collection of video clips showing gathering of fruits that occur only in the rain season. Related sessions treat the corn culture and the gathering of the buriti-palm-fruit.
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.
Fruits in the rain season: to a trip into the fields some 2km down the Kurisevo river. The small fruits "muruci" (in Portuguese) in the bush- and grass-land, and Maracuja-like vine fruits. Detailed descriptions of the scenes are available for each resource.
Much Awetí, even with the researcher SD. He sometimes speaks in Portuguese, and sometimes other participants speak Portuguese to the researcher.
Mostly children of 146. 151 invited SD to come with them.
