Description:Santiago is the last of several older and important men from the village of San Martin whose performance is recorded on video that day. Since there is not much space left on the video tape he resolves to make some final comments on the recording situation as a whole, explaining its purpose in the context of linguistic documentation. Santiago is wearing a traditional head ornament. There are several other people present during the recording. It is about 12:40 h.
This interdisciplinary project aims at the documentation of Cashinahua language and culture. The Cashinahua language community currently consists of about 6000 members living in several villages with 10 indigenous homelands in the Brazilian state of Acre, and about 1600 members living in 37 villages in Peru. Most members of the speech community are bilingual, either speaking Portuguese or Spanish as a second and in some cases (in Brazil) as a first language. The project is funded for the years of 2006 to 2009 by the VolkswagenStiftung in the Documentation of Endangered Languages Programme. The linguist Eliane Camargo initiated her research among the Brazilian Cashinahua in 1989 and continued to work with the Peruvian Cashinahua in 1994. The anthropologist Philippe Erikson started to work in 1985 with the Matis, another Brazilian Pano group, and in 1993 with the Chacobo, a Pano group living in Bolivia. The linguist Sabine Reiter who previously worked in another Dobes-Project started her research among the Cashinahua in 2006.
Santiago makes some final observations to the video recordings of that day and talks about the linguistic and cultural situation in his village.
The story is told in Cashinahua.
Santiago is one of the more important younger men of San Martin who is used to speaking in public.
Doctorate candidate in the Cashinahua project; Magister Artium in Linguistics and Latin American Studies (Freie Unversität Berlin, 1999); European Master Degree in Linguistics (Freie Universität Berlin/ University of Manchester 2000), emphasis in language typology and sociolinguistics; from 2001 to 2006 field researcher in the Awetí Language Documentation Project (also belonging to the DobeS-Programme), several field periods from 2001to 2005 in the Upper Xingu area in Central Brazil.
Santiago who is about 45 years old is one of the more important younger men of San Martin. In his house there is the only television set of the village.

There is a separate wave-file from the video-recording.
There is little background noise. There is no additional recording on minidisk. The audio file is also extracted from the video recording. The session has an overall duration of 8 min and 46 sec.
