Description:		The recording shows the end of the Jawari dart-throwing competition between the Awetí and the Nahukua on the last day of the celebration. Then a ritual of mourning by the Awetí, dances of victory and defeat, 'payments' and exchange of goods, and the Nahukwá prepairing for leaving.
		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 recording shows the end of the Jawarí competitio between young Awetí men and their respective adversaries from the Nahukua community on the last day of the celebration. Then there is a scene of mourning of the Awetí in charge of the ceremony (042 and his wive 045). The Nahukwá prepair for leaving.
