Description:Audio recordings of five men playing the Takwara fluits. Every man plays one single fluit with one note. While playing, the men dance from house to house.
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.
Awetí among the Awetí. Partially Awetí, partially Portuguese with the researcher.
Five Awetí men, probably 065, 030, 118 among them, dance from house to house playing the Takwara fluits accompanied by SD who does the recording.
086 is the second son of 083 and his wife 064, younger brother of the teacher 085. He speaks little Portuguese, but has some knowledge with the computer to transcribe stories.
073 is the second son and child of 030 and 074.
149 is the oldest child (son) of the main chief of the village, 146, and his first wive, 147. He is not married yet and lives in his father's house. Currently he is being trained to be a local health's agent.
078 is the first son and child of 030 and 074.
065 is the youngest child of 043 and 044, the oldest couple of the village. He is married to 128 and has three children with her :130 (born 1996), 214 (born 1999) and 215 (born 2001). He gained much respect when he stopped living with some of his relatives (his older brother 042 or his uncle 083) and built his own house in 2004.
146 is the main chief of the village. His father, 157, left the village in the seventies, giving up his chief-hood. 146 grew up with the Kamayurá, got in contact with the brazilian air-force and moved outside the village for some years in order to study and eventually take over a position in the self-administration of the Park. He then met his older wife (147) at the Kamayurá and decided to go back into the Park before finishing his studies. Later he married 147's younger sister, 148. Both do not speak (but understand) Awetí. When 146's father was asked to come back as a chief, he declined, but suggested his oldest son, 146, to take the position with his advice. The community constructed a large house around 1996 in order to receive 146 as a real chief. SInce then, he is in charge.
