Description:ENGLISH: Scenes of Timbo fishing. Timbo is a poisonous plant that is cut into pieces, tied up and put into the water (in general, a small lagoon formed during the dry season, when the level of the river sinks). The plant releases a kind of poison that makes fish weak; they start floating or swimming slowly. Women can catch them with the help of a little net or sieve. Men usually catch them using arrows. This session is linked to another one: RGPhoTimbo. ----- PORTUGUÊS: Cenas de pesca com timbó. Timbó é uma planta venenosa que é cortada em pedaços, amarrada e colocada na água (em geral, uma pequena lagoa formada durante a época da seca, quando o nível do rio abaixa). A planta solta um tipo de veneno que faz os peixes ficarem fracos; eles começam a boiar ou a nadar devagar. As mulheres então os pegam usando pequenas redes ou peneiras. Os homens geralmente os pegam usando flechas. Essa sessão está ligada a outra: RGPhoTimbo.
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.
Aspects of the Timbo fishing, conducted by various people from the Boa Esperança and Terra Preta villages.
Various languages are used during the fishing: Trumai (by older women), Portuguese (by young people and children), Suyá (by a man, whose mother was Suyá), and Aweti (by a woman holding a baby. She is Aweti, married to a Trumai man). However, the emphasis of this session is not on language, but rather on the visual aspects of the Timbo fishing.
The purpose of this video is not to register speech, but visual aspects of the Timbo fishing. The people who appear in the video are members of the Steinen and Terra Preta villages.
This session consists of 7 session-fragments. The start and end times of each session-fragment are: (i) Fragment 1: 27:01 - 40:44. (ii) Fragment 2: 41:19 - 45:07. (iii) Fragment 3: 45:18 - 46:01. (iv) Fragment 4: 46:23 - 47:10. (v) Fragment 5: 49:15 - 50:12. (vi) Fragment 6: 51:38 - 52:31. (vii) Fragment 7: 55:03 - 57:11.
