Description:		This session contains a description given by Mario Bardales Tuesta about the feast of Hai ika. The recording took place in the forest behind Mario's house about 30 metres from the house under a banana tree. It is about 11:30 a.m. During the recording there are only the author and the collector present at the location. Apart from the partially strong wind in the leaves of the banana tree there is no other background noise.
		This interdisciplinary project aims at the documentation of Cashinahua language and culture. The Cashinahua language community currently consists of about 6000 members living in several villages with 10 indigenous homelands in the Brazilian state of Acre, and about 1600 members living in 37 villages in Peru. Most members of the speech community are bilingual, either speaking Portuguese or Spanish as a second and in some cases (in Brazil) as a first language. The project is funded for the years of 2006 to 2009 by the VolkswagenStiftung in the Documentation of Endangered Languages Programme. The linguist Eliane Camargo initiated her research among the Brazilian Cashinahua in 1989 and continued to work with the Peruvian Cashinahua in 1994. The anthropologist Philippe Erikson started to work in 1985 with the Matis, another Brazilian Pano group, and in 1993 with the Chacobo, a Pano group living in Bolivia. The linguist Sabine Reiter who previously worked in another Dobes-Project started her research among the Cashinahua in 2006.
		Mario gives a description of the feast of Haika.
		The description is given in Cashinahua.
		Since Sabine was living in Mario's house during her first field-period in San Martin, there is a relaxed atmosphere. In addition, Mario is used to recordings and to speaking in public, so that he does not seem to feel uncomfortable at all with the situation. Jeremias is Mario's grandson. He did the transcription by himself on paper, listening to a cassette-player.
		Doctorate candidate in the Cashinahua project; Magister Artium in Linguistics and Latin American Studies (Freie Unversität Berlin, 1999); European Master Degree in Linguistics (Freie Universität Berlin/ University of Manchester 2000), emphasis in language typology and sociolinguistics; from 2001 to 2006 field researcher in the Awetí Language Documentation Project (also belonging to the DobeS-Programme), several field periods from 2001to 2005 in the Upper Xingu area in Central Brazil.
		Jeremias is a young man living in San Martin. He is one of the grandsons of Mario Bardales Tuesta and younger brother of the mayor of Puerto Esperanza. In 2007 he is married and has one son. He is one of the main consultants from San Martin.
		Mario is one of several older men who were the main informants during the two weeks Sabine Reiter and Eliane Camargo spent in San Martin in June 2006. Sabine Reiter was living with his family. He was born in 1940 in the village of Palmera in the Quebrada de Chapuja in Peru. Ten years of his life he spent in Conta, a village which is only about an hour by boat from Puerto Esperanza, the only Peruvian town of the region. According to himself (arguably, according to Eliane Camargo) he was one of the founders and the first chief of the village of Balta in 1960 where he also exerted other important professions (teacher, preacher, mechanic, health assistant). He handed over the chief's position to his brother-in-law Grompez and continued to work as a teacher. Mario started to learn Spanish with about 18 years. From 1969 onwards Mario worked with Richard Montag as one of his bible translators (the current version of the Cashinahua New Testament was published in 2004). Mario learned the arts of story-telling with his uncle (his father's brother) and only a little with his father. He was married to his wife Laura Bardales Peso at the age of ten or eleven. He has got 5 (living) children with her. Later he married her 10-years-younger sister Mirita with whom he has one child. Owing to the influence of Richard Montag who told him that a Christian mustn't have two wives he separated from her. Mirita continues to live with her son and his family in the same place as Mario but in a separate house.
		The audio recording was done with a Sony Portable Minidisk Recorder MZ-RH10 and an external electret condenser stereo microphone SONY ECM-MS957.
		The session starts at track 20 and ends at track 21 (0 min 18 sec) of group 1 on the minidisk. The whole session has a duration of 5 min and 18 sec. There is some background noise from the banana leaves.
		The sessions CASRAM16Jun0601-S20 to CASRAM16Jun0601-S21 on CADMF 11 need to be joined to form a new session called Mario_Haika.
