Description:In this session Grompez talks about the Yaminawa. The recording was made by Barbara Keifenheim in the village of Balta in 1996.
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 narrative is about the Yaminawa who steal food and objects from the Cashinahua who feel threatened by them.
Grompez was one of the founders and the leading chief of the Cashinahua village of Balta. He had the village pharmacy under his responsibility and was trained in Yarinacocha as a health assistant. He received a small salary from the government and was registered as a Peruvian citizen. Grompez died in 1999.
The transcription is done by Barbara Keifenheim in cooperation with a Cashinahua consultant. The transcript was handed over to Sabine Reiter.
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.
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 ago in order to complete his studies. Later his whole family followed. He is married and has got one little child.
The recording was originally made in 1996 with a Nagra recording device on a 60-min cassette (Sony60 Ux-Pro Super Energy Uniaxial, Type II (CrO2)) named "Yaminawa (Film)1". The cassette was digitalized in high quality (48kHz, 16bit) and transferred to a DVD named "Cashinahua Audiokassetten Teil III" at the MPI for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig in January 2008. On the DVD the media file is named "Yaminawa_Film_AB_stereo".
The recording was made on a Nagra recording device. There is a corresponding video recording to this audio recording on cassette.
The video file needs to be adapted to the audio recording. Both seem to have been made by different recording devices, i.e. the audio recording is not the original sound of the video. Therefore the time sequences are not the same.
