Description:ENGLISH: A woman talks to her grandchildren about the Festivity of the Manioc, an old Trumai celebration that is not performed anymore. This woman saw such festivity when she was a child. She uses some photos taken by the anthropologist Buell Quain in 1938 to illustrate her explanations. ----- PORTUGUÊS: Yma mulher Trumai fala aos netos sobre a Festa da Mandioca, uma antiga celebração Trumai que não é mais realizada.

The main speaker (Speaker12) talks in Trumai. Her listeners are her grandchildren, who sit around her.
Speaker12 is a native speaker of Trumai. Both her parents were Trumai. 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).
Raquel is a Brazilian linguist. She has been working with the Trumai people since 1989. She has a Ph.D. in Linguistics from Rice University (Houston, Texas, U.S.A).
