| Description: | This is a recording with the oldest member of the Awetí community. 043 is more than 80 years old and has witnessed the epidemic of measles to which a large number of the Awetí population fell victim in the 1950s. Therefore his autobiography comes near to an account of the recent history of the Awetí community. | |
| This project aims at the documentation of the Awetí Language and aspects of the Awetí culture. Awetí is a tupian language of a small speech community of the same name at the southern edge of the Amazon rain forest, in the Xingú reserve, Mato Grosso, central Brazil. The project was funded December 2000--April 2006 by the VolkswagenStiftung in the Documentation of Endangered Languages Programme (DOBES). The principal researcher, Sebastian Drude, initianted his research among the Aweti in 1998. Sabine Reiter participated as a freelancer in 2001 and as research assistant (including conducting field research) from 2002 on. The Awetí participated intensively in the project. At least one person of each houshold provided individual texts, the community agreed to be documented in day-to-day activities and during special events such as rituals. Several Awetí got involved in the further processing of the documentation data, especially by assisting in the creation of transcriptions and translations during the 9 field trips and in 8 visits of two to three speakers in Belém or Canarana. | ||
| SD asked 043 to give a description of his life. Since 043 is the oldest living person of the Awetí, his reminiscences are of historical significance to all the members of the Awetí community. | ||
| 043 tells his autobiography in Awetí. The introductory part by SD is in Portuguese which is translated into Awetí by 018. The concluding remarks are also in Portuguese. | ||
| Since 043 is the oldest person in the Awetí village Sebastian treats him with the greatest respect. ### | ||
| 043 is the oldest man in the village. His wife 044 is also still alive. They have 4 children in the village (at least three other died), two men (042 and 065) and the two wifes of 085 (060 and 064). 043 belongs to a not very prestigious family within the Awetí community. He does not have the formal education of people like 157 who belongs to a traditional family of chiefs. The Xingu-society used to be organized strictly hierarchically, and only people from "upper-class"-families received a formation as story-teller and keeper of traditions. 043, though, has great knowledge of herbal medicine and does have the reputation of being a powerful shaman. | ||
| 018 is the older of the two teachers in the village. He is one of the many sons of 009 (Kamayurá) and 010, who left the village in 2002. Of his family, only 018 and his sister 019 (marreid to 132) stayed in the main village. He works for the Awetí Project as the first consultant, doing transcriptions and helping with translations and elicitation. | ||
