Description:		In this session Joaquin Jimenez tells the story of the lame deer. The recording was made outside the village of San Martin, next to a manioc plantation. There are various people present at the recording: Mario Bardales, Guillerme Nascimento, Pepe, Santiago Belisario, Eliane Camargo and Sabine Reiter. Joaquin is wearing a traditional head ornament and collar. During the story-telling performance he repeatedly gets up, jumps around, and even climbs on a tree. He illustrates his performance with many gestures. It is about 12:30 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 about "lame deer" who hunts for the Cashinahua women while their men have gone hunting.
		The story is told in Cashinahua.
		Even though Joaquin is not used to video recordings, he is a routined story-teller and has an audience like in a natural story-telling situation, so that he gives a very lively performance. It is possible that he exaggerates with his movements and gestures due to the presence of the researchers.
		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.

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.
		Joaquin 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. During this time Joaquin was living only with one of his grandsons in his house, the rest of his family being in Puerto Esperanza due to the illness of his wife. Joaquin is the brother of Mario's wife Laura. He has two more sisters and a brother. Joaquin is one of the best story-tellers in San Martin. He has learned the stories from his father.

		There is a separate wave-file from the video-recording.
		There is little background noise. There is no additional recording on minidisk. The audio file is also extracted from the video recording. The session has an overall duration of 14 min and 23 sec.
