Description:This session contains a story told by Guillerme Nascimento. The recording took place in his house at night. It is about 7 p.m. During the whole recording session which takes about three hours there are the the narrators Guillerme Nascimento, Mario Bardales and Joaquin Jimenez and the collectors Sabine Reiter and Eliane Camargo present at the location. The narrators take turns to tell their stories, Guillerme starts. This is the opening story. There is little background noise during the recording.
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 story is told in Cashinahua.
The recording takes place in Guillerme's own house, he sits in his hammock and is very relaxed. There are few people around: the two other story-tellers, the two collectors, Guillerme's wife Francisca and partially her older son Cesar.
Miguell is the younger brother of Guillerme. He is married and has got several young children as well as older stepchildren. He is one of the main consultants from San Martin.
Cesar is one of the main consultants from San Martin. He is the son of Francisca and stepson of Guillerme.
Principal researcher in the Cashinahua Project. First contact with the Cashinahua language in 1989.
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.
Guillerme is one of the powerful younger man in the village San Martin. He is not the official chief (who was imposed to the village recently by Peruvian authorities) but the first person who is consulted in important matters by the villagers. Guillerme has got two wives and lives on a central spot in the village, next to the supply station of solar energy.
The audio recording was done with a Sony Portable Minidisk Recorder MZ-RH10 and an external electret condenser stereo microphone SONY ECM-MS957.
The minidisk is divided into tracks of up to 5 min each. The session starts at track 3 and ends at track 4 of group 1 on the minidisk. The whole session has a duration of 9 min and 29 sec.
The sessions CASRAM11Jun0601-S3 to CASRAM11Jun0601-S4 on CADMF 10 need to be joined to form a new session called Guillerme_Basne_pudu.
