Description:The video recording, which took place on the 16th of June at the men's house, contains the first of two sessions showing preparatory work for the Jawary celebration which is continued two days later. The recording is of cultural value to the project. There is a more lengthy audio recording of the conversation of the men while they are making the propulsors in sessions jaw_propulsor2 to jaw_propulsor6. There is no temporal overlap between the video session and any of the audio sessions. The continuation of the recordings is in jaw_puppet (see that session).
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.
The session contains the preparation of propulsors for the Jawari celebration by several Awetí men.

House-building is a task carried out by men. The owner of the new house pays the house-builders with food which is distributed in the village centre after the work has been done.
