| Description: | In this session Reginaldo talks about his life in the rubber plantations. The recording took place next to his house. Reginaldo is sitting on a canoe that has been turned-over. Paulo, who is not in the picture, sits to the right of Reginaldo and asks some questions. A grandson of Reginaldo who does not seem to be aware of the recording situation occasionally appears in the picture. It is about 14:20 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. | ||
| Reginaldo talks about his and his family's life. He starts with his birth, talks about his work in the rubber plantations, about his wife and children, about the various places he lived. He also talks about a fatal accident that happened to one of his sons, attributing the fault to another person. Due to this fact this recording will not be included in the archive and will only be used by the recorder for linguistic purposes. | ||
| The autobiography is told in Cashinahua. | ||
| There are several family members as well as young men from the same ethnic community around so that Reginaldo feels at ease during the recording. However, since he has never been filmed he got a little nervous the night before and therefore drank some alcohol which may have had an impact on his performance. Paulo Macambira asks him questions about the content of his life story and later is the consultant of Sabine Reiter when doing the transcription/translation. | ||
| 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. | ||
| Paulo is an agroforestry agent and future health assistant and one of the participants of the workshop held in May 2006 in the village of Mucuripe. He lives in the village Porto Brasil in the indigenous homeland of Terra Indígena do Rio Humaita, situated downriver from Tarauacá. His family ties with regard to the inhabitants of Mucuripe are not known to the researchers but are probably quite distant. Paulo participates in the 2-weeks-workshop during both weeks. | ||
| Reginaldo was born in the indigenous area of Jordão. His family moved to the rubber plantation of Dependência when he was a little child. After that, at the age of 8 or 9, he moved to a place called Boca de Pedra together with some of his family-members. He started to work in a rubber-plantation. When he was 13 years old, his mother died. At the age of 22 he returned to a village which was founded by his uncle. There he got married and had several children. Reginaldo worked for a long time in the trade-business with non-indigenous people. He is the father of Joaquim, the director of OPIAC and organizer of the linguistic workshop held by Eliane Camargo in the village of Mucuripe from the 15th to the 25th of May 2006. He also is the father of Santo and Adão. He lives to the left of the village centre (seen from the river) in a traditional house together with a 12-year-old adopted daughter and his son Adão with wife and children. Reginaldo's wife died a few months ago. His son Santo lives with his wife and children in the village of Carapanã half an hour downriver. At the moment of the recording he is visiting his father in order to participate in the workshop. | ||
| There is a separate wave-file from the video-recording. | ||
| There is some background noise from people and animals, and one of Reginaldo's grandson occasionally appears in the picture. There is no additional recording on minidisk. The audio file is also extracted from the video recording. The session has a duration of 13 min and 7 sec. | ||
