Description:ENGLISH: Trumai individuals go for a trip in the Xingu River and find an enormous fish dead in a beach. Apparently, the fish died because it swallowed another one and got stuck with it, becoming suffocated. The Trumai women and girls pull the fish into a dry area and explore it (although the fish is a little smelly, and partially eaten by animals). The video was taped by a Trumai young man. It also shows aspects of a beach of the Xingu river during the dry season. ----- PORTUGUÊS: Pessoas Trumai fazem uma viagem pelo Rio Xingu e encontram um peixe enorme morto em uma praia. Aparentemente, o peixe morreu porque engoliu outro peixe e engasgou, sufocando. As mulheres e crianças Trumai puxam o peixe para uma área seca e o exploram (embora o peixe já esteja cheirando, tendo sido também parcialmente comido por animais). O vídeo foi gravado por um jovem Trumai. Também mostra aspectos de uma praia do Rio Xingu durante a época da seca.
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.
A video showing Trumai individuals visiting a beach and finding an enormous fish there.
The purpose of this video is not to register speech, but the visual aspects of an event. When people talk, they communicate in Trumai or Portuguese.
There are various individuals in this session. They live at the Boa Esperança village.
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).
