Description:The chief explains SD about the roles different persons have in inter and intra-tribal rituals, e.g. Takwara, Jawarí.
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.
Much Awetí, even with the researcher SD. He sometimes speaks in Portuguese, and sometimes other participants speak Portuguese to the researcher.
The chief 146 explains about the exchange and procedures in connection with intertribal ritual fiests, Jawarí etc. SD is his interviewer.
The main researcher of the Aweti Project. See description of Collector.
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.
