Description:Filomeno talks about his encounter with the Yaminawa on the 19th of July 1994. The recording was made by Barbara Keifenheim and Thomas Kirsch in the village of Balta in August 1994, about a month after the event took place.
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 this narrative Filomenos talks about the Cashinahua's encounters with a not-yet contacted Panoan group.
Cashinahua is the mother tongue of most of the community members who either speak Portuguese (on the Brazilian side) or Spanish (on the Peruvian side) as a second and in some cases as a first or dominant language. In Peru there are still some monolingual speakers of Cashinahua, especially older people and women.
In 1994, Filomeno was living in the village of Santa Rey. In 2007 Filomeno lives in the village of Nueva Esperanza.
The recording was transcribed by Barbara Keifenheim in cooperation with Nelson.
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.
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.
The recording was originally made in 1994 with a tape recorder on a 60-min cassette (Sony60, Ux-Pro Super Energy Uniaxial, Type II (CrO2)) named "Marcelino2". The cassette was digitalized in high quality (48kHz, 16bit) and transferred to a DVD named "Cashinahua Audiokassetten Teil II" at the MPI for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig in January 2008. On the DVD the media file is named "Marcellino_2_AB_mono". It is possible that an error occured during digitization after about 51 minutes!!!
