Description: This session contains a story told by Guillerme Nascimento. The recording took place in his house at night. It is about 8:30 p.m. During the whole recording session which takes about three hours there are the narrators Guillerme Nascimento, Mario Bardales and Joaquin Jimenez and the collectors Sabine Reiter and Eliane Camargo present at the location. The narrators take turns to tell their stories. This is the seventh and last story of the evening. There is little background noise during the recording.

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 about the origins of Ayahuasca. There is already a transcribed version of this story told by Marcelino Piñedo and published in 1999 by Eliane Camargo. According to the myth, the ayahuasca liana was given to the Cashinahua by the anaconda.

The story is told in Cashinahua.

The recording takes place in Guillerme's own house, he sits in his hammock and is very relaxed. There are few people around: the two other story-tellers, the two collectors, Guillerme's wife Francisca and partially her older son Cesar. Hulício does the transcription by himself on paper, listening to a cassette-player. The transcript is processed and checked by Sabine Reiter, and the translation is made by her in cooperation with Hulício, his father Sabino (the major part of it) and his brother Alício.

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.

Alício is Hulício's older brother and son of Sabino. In 2008 he helped with the transcription and translation work whenever either his father or his brother did not have time to work with the researcher.

Principal researcher in the Cashinahua Project. First contact with the Cashinahua language in 1989.

Hulício is a young man, grandson of Herman Kaxinawa and son of Sabino Kaxinawa who lives in the town of Santa Rosa/ Purus in the Brazilian state of Acre. He was born in the village of Feijó/ Purus and later lived in the village of Nova Aliança where he went to grammar school for four years. He came to Santa Rosa four years agoin order to complete his studies. Later his whole family followed. He is married and has got one little child.

Sabino was born at the Envira river, in the Seringal Cachoeira. His father was working in the rubber plantation. He came to the Purús area when he was one year old. He lived for a long time in Balta, and has been living in Brasil for 15 years where he is currently living in Santa Rosa. He also lived for two years in Conta. He is married to a woman from Balta who is the daughter of Herman. He has three sons and four daughters. His second son, Hulício, born in 1984, is the main consultant of Sabine Reiter. His oldest son, Alício, born in 1983, also worked with her as a consultant. Sabino returned to Peru several times.

Guillerme is one of the powerful younger man in the village San Martin. He is not the official chief (who was imposed to the village recently by Peruvian authorities) but the first person who is consulted in important matters by the villagers. Guillerme has got two wives and lives on a central spot in the village, next to the supply station of solar energy.

The audio recording was done with a Sony Portable Minidisk Recorder MZ-RH10 and an external electret condenser stereo microphone SONY ECM-MS957.

The minidisk is divided into tracks of up to 5 min each. The session starts at track 20 and ends at track 28 (2 min 53 sec) of group 1 on the minidisk. The whole session has a duration of 42 min and 53 sec.

The sessions CASRAM11Jun0601-S20 to CASRAM11Jun0601-S28 on CADMF 10 need to be joined to form a new session called Guillerme_Yube_xenidan.
