Description:ENGLISH: Explanation about how mats are made from materials extracted from plants. The Trumai speaker shows how the mats are weaved. Afterwards, she shows a root that produces a yellow substance, which is used to color the mats. ----- PORTUGUÊS: Explicação sobre como esteiras são feitas a partir de materiais extraídos de plantas. A falante de Trumai mostra como as esteiras são trançadas. A seguir, mostra uma raiz que produz uma substância amarela, a qual é usada para colorir as esteiras.
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.
A Trumai woman explains how mats are made. First she talks, showing a mat being weaved. After that, the researcher makes questions about specific points involved in the preparation of mats. The Trumai woman also shows a root that produces a yellow substance, used to color objects.
The woman talks in Trumai. After that, the researcher makes questions in Portuguese, and the woman replies sometimes in Trumai, sometimes in Portuguese.
The main speaker is Speaker12. She talks to the researcher, who is behind the video camera. When she shows the root that produces a yellow color, she has the help of her sister-in-law (who is Suyá).
Speaker12 is a native speaker of Trumai. Both her parents were Trumai. She and her brother are the last descendents of the Awaldat group, a Trumai subdivision that used to speak a different dialect of the language. However, this dialect seems to have disappeared (Speaker12's way of speaking is similar to the way of speaking of the other Trumai individuals). Her late husband was Kayabi. She lives with her son and daughter-in-law and has several grandchildren. She is middle-aged (50 or more).
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).
This session consists of 3 session-fragments (because of the way the recoding was made). The start and end times of each session-fragment are: (i) Fragment 1: 07:23 - 12:30. (ii) Fragment 2: 12:37 - 13:14. (iii) Fragment 3: 13:45 - 13:59.
