		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 = 'ritual speech', Discursive = 'ritual speech', Performance = 'oral-poetry'. These values have been added as Keys to the Content information.
		The chief Ak performs the sequence of the six ritual speeches or discourses. This kind of ritual speech is called anetü itaginhu, "conversation of the chief". The first one is called tinhü kukapakitoho, "made for the arrival of the messengers". The messengers arrive to the village in order to invite the local group for a feast to be realized in another village. The second speech is called tinhü gekankgitoho, "made for greeting the messengers". The third one is called tinhü itagimpakitoho, "made for receiving the messengers". The forth one is called kukegikatoho, "made for accepting the invitation". The fifth one is the main speech, where the old founders chiefs of the local group known as Kuikuro are mentioned. All the precedings speechs are performed in the middle of the village, the plaza, in front of the men's house. The sixth speech is performed near the inviting village, the village of the messengers; it is a cerimonial dialogue between the chief who is leading the invited village and the messengers, in order to realize a ritual exchange of goods. The next day will be the final day of the feast's cycle. The anetü itaginhu is characterized by a formal style, full of methaphors, versification and parallelisms, and specialized lexicon ("words of ols people"). It is a kind of chanted speech, with a characteristic rythm and entonation. The speeches are learned and memorized by an apprentice, always of chief's lineage, during many learning session with teacher, always an older chief.
