Description:ENGLISH: Myth about the women who were important chiefs. The myth is narrated by a Trumai woman. Before she narrates the myth, her son gives a brief overview of the myth, in Portuguese. After the myth is concluded, her son again talks about the myth, explaining that inside it there is a sample of the ritual speech made by chiefs.----- PORTUGUÊS: Mito sobre as mulheres que ram importante chefes.

Depois que o mito é concluído, o filho novamente fala sobre o mito, explicando que dentro dele há uma fala ritual feita por chefes.
The purpose of the project is to document Trumai, a genetically isolate language spoken in Brazil. The archive consists of a collection of texts in the language, plus other kinds of materials relative to the Trumai culture, such as photos, drawings, songs, educational materials, etc.

She and her brother are the last descendents of the Awaldat group, a Trumai subdivision that used to speak a different dialect of the language. However, this dialect seems to have disappeared (Speaker12's way of speaking is similar to the way of speaking of the other Trumai individuals). Her late husband was Kayabi. She lives with her son and daughter-in-law and has several grandchildren. She is middle-aged (50 or more).
