Description:In this session Marcelino talks about how the Cashinahua installed themselves in Peru. The recording was made by Barbara Keifenheim in the village of Balta in 1996.
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.
The narrative is about the Peruvian Cashinahua's recent history, their escape from the rubber plantation and installation in Peru.
The transcription was done by Barbara Keifenheim in cooperation with a Cashinahua consultant.
Marcelino lives in the village of Colombiana and has been one of the principal consultants of Barbara Keifenheim and Eliane Camargo. His wife, Alicia, is a renown herb specialist.
The recording was originally made in 1996 with a tape recorder on a 60-min cassette (Sony60 Ux-Pro Super Energy Uniaxial, Type II (CrO2)) named "Yaminawa (Film)1". The cassette was digitalized in high quality (48kHz, 16bit) and transferred to a DVD named "Cashinahua Audiokassetten Teil III" at the MPI for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig in January 2008. On the DVD the media file is named "Yaminawa_Film_AB_stereo". The sequence from 00:05:07 to 00:05:28 needs to be cut out.
The video file belongs to the audio file.
The recording was made with a Sony-Taperecorder (type TC) which was made suitable for the tropical climate by golden plugs. There is a corresponding video recording to this audio recording on cassette.
The video file, captured with a Sony High8 camera, needs to be adapted to the audio recording. Both seem to have been made by different recording devices, i.e. the audio recording is not the original sound of the video. Therefore the time sequences are only approximately the same. During the video recording there is a change of setting at about 00:05:45.
