Description:		Second half of an hour long video with Tsafiki transcription, parsing and glosses and free translations in Spanish and English. PU8 interviews U4 concerning the use of medicinal plants.
		The Tsafiki Documentation Project is designed to document the language and culture of the Tsachila, who live in the western lowlands of Ecuador. The primary goal of the project is to collect a wide variety of video material on various aspects of the culture including procedural texts, traditional narratives, information about shamanism and traditional medicine as well as everyday conversation. A large number of the texts, 20-30 hours will be completely processed with Shoebox annotation files which will be combined with the media files in ELAN. The remaining texts will be transcribed and translated into Spanish as well as English. In addition an on-going lexical electronic database is being created as well as a grammatical description of the language.
		Second half of an hour long video with Tsafiki transcription, parsing and glosses and free translations in Spanish and English. PU8 interviews U4 concerning the use of medicinal plants. In this half they finish the discussion concerning the use of sugarcane liquor and then turn to two plants that can be used to ease labor pains during labor and that give strength to both the baby and the mother if taken during pregnancy. They then discuss how to make a vapor bath with stones, including what plants should be used. This cures 'cold' illnesses but should be given with care. They finish by discussing a plant that is used to treat swellings caused by heat and diabetic sores.
		The interview is conducted solely in Tsafiki.
		PU8 is a twenty-seven year old Tsachi male. He is literate and fluent in both Tsafiki and the local dialect of Spanish, although Tsafiki was his first language and the dominant language within his household. He has a high school degree from a monolingual Spanish school and has taken some college courses. He is married and has two children. He has trained for several years in this project and has basic linguistic knowledge.
		U4 is a forty-eight year old Tsachi male. He was born in the Ela river region close to Puerto Limon and has lived in Congoma for most of his life. He has received traditional training from several well-known Tsachi 'pone' or shamans and has been practicing curation for twenty-seven years. He is fluent in the local dialect of Spanish although Tsafiki was his first language and the dominant language within his household. He is married and has five children and several grandchildren.
