She can understand Trumai very well, but sometimes has difficulties in speaking it (she used to speak Trumai well when she was a child and spent more time with her mother; but gradually she spoke less and less when she became older and started having more contact with people outside her family). Her mother is Trumai, her late father was Kayabi (actually, her mother is genetically her grandmother, but Speaker18 regard her as mother). Speaker18 is trained as a health assistant and takes care of health affairs at her village. She has one son.

His mother is Trumai, his late father was Kayabi. Speaker17 is the teacher of the Boa Esperança village, and it is considered one of the best teachers of the Xingu reserve. He is very interested in the work of documenting the Trumai language and culture.
