Description:		The recordings show village scenes from the field trip 2002.
		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 assistant researcher of the Awetí Project.
		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.
		151 is the third child (second 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. He is one of the main consultirs of the Awetí project, being the most skilled compter user and best literate (with 018) in the village.
		001 lived in the village until 2003. He is an older one of the many sons of 009 (Kamayurá) and 010, who left the village in 2002. Of his family, only 018 and his sister 019 (married to 132) stayed in the main village. 001 is one of the best speaers of Portuguese among the Awetí.
		147 is the daughter of a Kamayurá chief and the first wife of the Awetí chief 146 with whom she has five children. She has got a good knowledge of Portuguese and, due to this competence, is one of the few women who enters directly in contact with the researchers. She is a good informant for cultural matters.
		150 is the oldest daughter of 146 and his older wife 147. She still lives with her family in her father's house.
		152 is 146 and 147's younger daughter.
		The Jawari-cerimony is performed by the Awetí-community as a whole. Since Jawari is a ritual celebration carried out by men, the male members of the Awetí-community are especially involved.
