Description:Narrativa sobre vida dos Trumai dos anos trinta e quarenta.
The purpose of the project is to document Trumai, a genetically isolate language spoken in Brazil. The archive consists of a collection of texts in the language, plus other kinds of materials relative to the Trumai culture, such as photos, drawings, songs, educational materials, etc.
A Trumai woman talks about how the Trumai people used to celebrate the Yamurikuma festivity in old times. The sessions is not exactly a historical narrative, but rather information about historical facts. It also contain songs.
The speaker talks in Trumai. Some of the songs performed by her are also in Trumai. The other songs have special lyrics (they are not in the Trumai language).
Speaker12 is a native speaker of Trumai. Both her parents were Trumai. She and her brother are the last descendents of the Awaldat group, a Trumai subdivision that used to speak a different dialect of the language. However, this dialect seems to have disappeared (Speaker12's way of speaking is similar to the way of speaking of the other Trumai individuals). Her late husband was Kayabi. She lives with her son and daughter-in-law and has several grandchildren. She is middle-aged (50 or more).
Emmanuel de Vienne is a french student finishing his PhD in Paris, at the Ecoles des Hautes Etudes en Sciences Sociales. He works with the Trumai since 2003.
