Description:In this session Alicia Puricho, wife of Marcelino, tells the story of napu ainbu. The recording was made by Barbara Keifenheim and Thomas Kirsch in Columbiana/ Curanja (Peru) in July 1994. The recording was made in the house, with no other people present.
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 recording Alicia tells the story of napu ainbu which talks about the origin of kene. The recording was made by the anthropologist Barbara Keifenheim who authorized its integration into the Cashinahua Dobes archive.
The narrative is told in Cashinahua.
Alicia is Marcelino's wife and the sister of Grompez, thus daughter of the chief Puricho. In 1994, she is living in the village of Columbiana where she still lives in 2007. Alicia is renown as a herbal specialist in the whole Peruvian Cashinahua community. In 2007, Alicia is about 60 years old.
The recording in mono was originally made in July 1994 with a tape recorder on a 60-min Sony cassette (UX-Pro Super Energy Uniaxial, Type II, CrO2, Position High Bias 70µs EQ) named "Alicia 1". The cassette was digitalized in high quality (48kHz, 16bit) and transferred to a DVD named "Cashinahua Audiokassetten Teil I" at the MPI for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig in January 2008. On the DVD the recording is a part of Alicia_Puricho_AB_mono.
The recording was made with a Sony-Taperecorder (type TC) which was made suitable for the tropical climate by golden plugs. Throughout the recording there is some microphone noise. The session has an overall duration of 5 min and 47 sec.
