Description:ENGLISH: A Trumai man goes to the woods to extract the plant "Timbo", used by the Trumai to catch fish. Later, his uncle talks about the "Timbo" plant and another plant used during the fishing. The recording was made by a Trumai young man, with the help of the researcher. ----- PORTUGUÊS: Um rapaz Trumai vai ao mato para extrair timbó, cipó usado pelos Trumai para pegar peixe. Depois o tio do rapaz fala sobre o timbó e uma outra planta usada durante a pescaria. O vídeo foi filmado por um jovem Trumai, com a ajuda da pesquisadora.
The purpose of the project is to document Trumai, a genetically isolate language spoken in Brazil. The archive consists of a collection of texts in the language, plus other kinds of materials relative to the Trumai culture, such as photos, drawings, songs, educational materials, etc.
Trumai speakers extract the plant "Timbo", used by them to catch fish.
Speaker17 talks to the researcher in Portuguese. Speaker13 talks in Trumai.
First, speaker17 goes to the woods to extract the plant "Timbo". Then, his uncle (Speaker13) talks about this plant.
Speaker17 speaks Trumai and Portuguese. Portuguese is his main language. He can understand Trumai very well, but sometimes has difficulties in speaking it. His mother is Trumai, his late father was Kayabi. Speaker17 is the teacher of the Boa Esperança village, and it is considered one of the best teachers of the Xingu reserve. He is very interested in the work of documenting the Trumai language and culture.
Speaker13 is a native speaker of Trumai. Both his parents were Trumai. He speaks Portuguese as well. He and his sister (Speaker12) are the last descendents of the 'Awaldat' group, a subdivision of the Trumai group that used to speak a different dialect of the language. However, this dialect seems to have disappeared. Speaker13 lives with his wife, children, and grandchildren. He works for the Brazilian Indigenous organization named FUNAI, and often he travels to do his work (he is a boat pilot).
Raquel is a Brazilian linguist. She has been working with the Trumai people since 1989. She has a Ph.D. in Linguistics from Rice University (Houston, Texas, U.S.A).
