Description:ENGLISH: A Trumai woman talks about necklaces made of shells, which are traditional artifacts produced by Upper Xingu goups. The Kalapalo people are experts on these necklaces, but nowadays other xinguan groups know how to do them as well. ----- PORTUGUÊS: Uma mulher Trumai fala sobre colares de caramujo, que são artefatos tradicionais Alto-Xinguanos. O povo Kalapalo é especialista na fabricação destes colares, mas hoje em dia outros grupos também sabem fazê-los.
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 shows a traditional necklace that her grandaughter is using and talks about it. After that, the researcher makes a few questions about specific points involved in the production and use of such necklace.
The main speaker talks in Trumai. The researcher makes questions in Portuguese, and the main speaker replies in Trumai.
The main speaker is Speaker12. She talks to the researcher, who is behind the video camera.
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).
