Description:157 tells the myth of the origin of manioc.
This project aims at the documentation of the Awetí Language, a Tupian language of a small speech community in central Brazil. It is funded for the years from November 2000 to March 2005 by the VolkswagenStiftung in the Documentation of Endangered Languages Programme. The principal researcher, Sebastian Drude, initiated his research among the Awetí in 1998. The assistant researcher, Sabine Reiter, started to work in the project in 2001.
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 = 'Unspecified', Discursive = '', Performance = 'historical-narrative'. These values have been added as Keys to the Content information.
157 tells the story of the origin of manioc which belonged to the seagull.
157 tells the stories in Awetí. Portuguese is the contact language by which Sebastian communicates with 157, but he also speaks Awetí at a basic level.
157 treats Sebastian like a kind of foster son and also calls him "son". In return, Sebastian considers 157 to be his "father" and accordingly treats him with the highest respect.
157 used to be the chief of the Awetí village until approximately 1970. In 2001, he continues to live among the Kamayurá. His son 146 is the current principal chief in the Awetí village. 157 is arguably the person who best knows the oral tradition in Awetí, and one of the strongest shamans of the region.
