Description:		The Project consultant (ethnologist), Dr. Carlos Fausto interviews the old Hopesé and his son Tsana at the researchers house in the Kuikuro village of Ipatse. Jawapá, a mature woman and wife of the chief Ahukaka, listens and comments on some details of the two men speeches.
		The Project "Linguistic, Historical and Ethnographical Documentation of the Upper Xingu Carib Language or Kuikuro (Brazil)"began in December 200 in the context of the DOBES Program supported by the Volkswagen Stiftung and with the technical support of the Max Planck Institute for Psycholinguistics (Nijmegen).
		This file was generated from an IMDI 1.9 file and transformed to IMDI 3.0. The substructure of Genre is replaced by two elements named "Genre" and "SubGenre". The original content of Genre substructure was: Interactional = 'interview', Discursive = 'explanation', Performance = 'oral-history'. These values have been added as Keys to the Content information.
		The collector, Carlos Fausto, asks information about the past of the Kuikuro group with the aim of eliciting memories and discover thier structure along the temporal dimension. The old Hopese, with the help of his son Tsana, reconstruct the temporal dimension trough the sequence of individuals along the chief's lineages, the transmission of names from grand-parents to grand-children, the identification of the "masters (oto)" of core rituals, the location of old villages. The temporal dimension has the initiation ritual (tiponhü, "the ear's pearcing") as a crucial reference point. A woman is listening to the conversation and gives some comments on specific issues and memories.
		Carlos Fausto, researcher, is the interviewer or the stimulus of the conversation. Hopesé is one of the oldest Kuikuro men and appreciated for his good memory of past events, the sequence of chiefs, rituals and of the kinship network. His son, Tsana, is a kind of an apprentice of the father memores and knowledge. Jawapa - a mature woman - is an occasional but interested listener, ready to give complementary information when needed.
		One of the oldest Kuikuro, Hopese is a ritual specialist and among the last and few knowers of the Kuikuro traditions and history.
		Carlos Fausto is ethnologist and permanent consultant of the Project. Professor of the Graduate Program in Social Anthropology of the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro (National Museum). Researcher of the National Counsel for Scientific and Technological development (CNPq). He is doing field research among the Kuikuro since 1998 and he realized researches on other amazonian indigenous groups (Parakanã, a Tupi-Guarani group leaving in the state of Pará, Brazil).
