Description:ENGLISH: Preparation of bowls from natural gourds. A Trumai speaker shows the first steps on the preparation of bowls, using fire to burn and shape the gourds. ----- PORTUGUÊS: Preparação de cuias a partir de cabaças. Uma falante de Trumai mostra os primeiros passos no preparo de cuias, usando fogo para queimar e dar forma às cuias.
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 how bowls are made from natural gourds. She shapes them with fire.
The main speaker talks in Trumai. After that, the researcher makes questions in Portuguese, and the speaker replies sometimes in Trumai, sometimes in Portuguese.
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).
