Description:In this session Reginaldo tells the story of Ti ika nawa. The recording took place next to Reginaldo's house. He is sitting on a canoe that has been turned-over. Paulo is sitting to his right and records the story with his tape recorder. It is about 15:40 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.
The story is told in Cashinahua.
Reginaldo has been talking for more than an hour before this session starts so that he feels quite at ease by this time. In addition, the presence of Paulo and his response to the story makes the whole event resemble a typical story-telling situation.
Paulo is an agroforestry agent and future health assistant and one of the participants of the workshop held in May 2006 in the village of Mucuripe. He lives in the village Porto Brasil in the indigenous homeland of Terra Indígena do Rio Humaita, situated downriver from Tarauacá. His family ties with regard to the inhabitants of Mucuripe are not known to the researchers but are probably quite distant. Paulo participates in the 2-weeks-workshop during both weeks.
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.
Reginaldo was born in the indigenous area of Jordão. His family moved to the rubber plantation of Dependência when he was a little child. After that, at the age of 8 or 9, he moved to a place called Boca de Pedra together with some of his family-members. He started to work in a rubber-plantation. When he was 13 years old, his mother died. At the age of 22 he returned to a village which was founded by his uncle. There he got married and had several children. Reginaldo worked for a long time in the trade-business with non-indigenous people. He is the father of Joaquim, the director of OPIAC and organizer of the linguistic workshop held by Eliane Camargo in the village of Mucuripe from the 15th to the 25th of May 2006. He also is the father of Santo and Adão. He lives to the left of the village centre (seen from the river) in a traditional house together with a 12-year-old adopted daughter and his son Adão with wife and children. Reginaldo's wife died a few months ago. His son Santo lives with his wife and children in the village of Carapanã half an hour downriver. At the moment of the recording he is visiting his father in order to participate in the workshop.
The recording was made with a Panasonic Digital Video Camera NV-GS500 (16bit audio, manual WB) on a triped and an external electret condenser stereo microphone SONY ECM-MS957.
There is a separate wave-file from the video-recording.
There is some background noise from people and animals, and one of Reginaldo's grandson occasionally appears in the picture. There is no additional recording on minidisk. The audio file is also extracted from the video recording. The session has a duration of 11 min and 22 sec.
