Description:This session, consisting of an introductory dialog between the researcher and the consultant, takes place at the beginning of the second day of story-telling by 157.
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.
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 = 'conversation', Discursive = 'Unknown', Performance = 'Unknown'. These values have been added as Keys to the Content information.
The session consists of a dialog 157 who is the most prestigious story-teller of the Awetí community and SD at the beginning of the second day of recording. The dialog is conducted in Portuguese.
157 tells the stories in Aweí­. Portuguese is the contact language by which SD communicates with 157, but he also speaks Awetí at a basic level.
157 treats SD like a kind of foster son and also calls him "son". In return, SD considers 157 to be his "father" and accordingly treats him with high respect and affection.

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.
