| 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 first part shows the moretá leaving the village to invite the neighbouring community to the Jawari celebration. The second part shows the Awetí men who will be fighting in the huka-huka competition vomiting at the river after having eaten poisonous herbs. The ritual vomiting has got the function of making the men stronger. In the third part the huka-huka fighters are chosen among the Awetí men. In the forth part the messenger (moretá) who had been sent to the Nahukwa to invite them to the Jawari celebration returns to the Awetí village. | ||
