| Description: | The recording shows the Awetà men who are clearing the way to Posto Leonardo (the central support post of the Alto Xingú) in order to use it when going to the Kwarup of the Yawalapità by bicycle. The recording consists of two parts. Some dialogues could be transcribed at some point. | |
| This project aims at the documentation of the Awetà Language and aspects of the Awetà culture. Awetà 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 Awetà 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 Awetà 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. | ||
| Sebastian has filmed the road/ path to Posto Leonardo from the village up to the place where the Awetà men free it with knifes and axes from plants which have overgrown it since it was last used. Clearing the way is men's work. It is usually carried out before a celebration or some other meeting in another village so that the road can be used for the occasion. | ||
| Awetà among the Awetà themselves. With the researchers, a mixture of Awetà and Protuguese, from both sides. | ||
| The Awetà men are working while Sebastian is filming them. | ||

| 146 is the main chief of the village. His father, 157, left the village in the seventies, giving up his chief-hood. 146 grew up with the Kamayurá, got in contact with the brazilian air-force and moved outside the village for some years in order to study and eventually take over a position in the self-administration of the Park. He then met his older wife (147) at the Kamayurá and decided to go back into the Park before finishing his studies. Later he married 147's younger sister, 148. Both do not speak (but understand) AwetÃ. When 146's father was asked to come back as a chief, he declined, but suggested his oldest son, 146, to take the position with his advice. The community constructed a large house around 1996 in order to receive 146 as a real chief. SInce then, he is in charge. | ||
| 149 is the oldest child (son) of the main chief of the village, 146, and his first wive, 147. He is not married yet and lives in his father's house. Currently he is being trained to be a local health's agent. | ||
| 026 is one of the few elder members of the AwetÃ. He is son of an important chief, but his father died before he could teach him sufficient of his knowledge and skills for 026 feel save being a chief himself; therefore he rejects to be any more than a regular member of the village. His oldest son, 030, is a very respected adult. His second son and his doughters left to the second village in 2002. | ||
| 042 is one of the principal shamans of the Awetà village. At the same time he is the brother-in-law of 083, one of the most prestigious men in the village. There are very strong family ties between these two houses due to the double cross-cousin constellation between the children of 042 and 083. 042 is the son of 043 and 044, the oldest cuple of the village. On the other hand, 157, the father of the current chief 146, claims that 042 is his illigitimate son, therefore he is considered a brother of 146 and also calls SD as 'younger brother'. | ||
| 018 is the older of the two teachers in the village. 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 (marreid to 132) stayed in the main village. He works for the Awetà Project as the first consultant, doing transcriptions and helping with translations and elicitation. | ||
| The Jawari-cerimony is performed by the AwetÃ-community as a whole. Since Jawari is a ritual celebration carried out by men, the male members of the AwetÃ-community are especially involved. | ||
| SD starts from the back of a house in the village, goes the beginning of the way to the Posto leonardo, following the health agent 177. Stop at 118's manioc garden. Arriving at the place were the men are cleaning the way, we see 146, the chief, 118, 026, 042 and other cleaning the way. 146, the chief, makes a discourse demanding a car from SD. They are cleaning the way in the expectation to gain a vehicle, he says. | ||
| More scenes of the men cleaning the way and urging SD to buy a vehicle to be used on the cleaned way. 018 joins the group. Pictures from the way back. | ||
