Description:This session is a collection of short scenes which are all related to the hallucinogenic liana used by Cashinahua men. In the first four scenes, Santo walks around on his father's property to show the different types of liana as well as the boiling cettle with liana extract, and Sabine follows with the camera. After that, he sings and talks about the liana. Another scene gives a round view of Reginaldo's property and ends with a short explanation by Santo and his brother Adão who is preparing the liana drink. The audio recording, with exception of the scene in which Santo sits down to talk and sing, is of inferior quality. It is around 14:45 h.
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.
In the first four scenes Santo shows different leaves that are used to prepare the traditional hallucinogenic drink consumed by Cashinahua men. After that, he sings and talks about the liana. Another scene gives a round view of Reginaldo's property and ends with a short explanation by Santo and his brother Adão who is preparing the liana drink.
The explanation is given in Cashinahua.
The transcription was done by Hulício in September 2008.
