Group hunting is a productive subsistence activity for many Indigenous peoples with adequate access to territorial and game resources. A’uwẽ (Xavante) group hunts can involve large numbers of individuals coordinating group hunting efforts over large areas. A’uwẽ group hunting and hunting with fire are sophisticated endeavors requiring years of preparation, ample discussion, and post-hunt analysis. Their hunting calls are stylized expressions following established vocal conventions to communicate complex information over long distances between hunters in order to follow, flush, dispatch, and carry game. This discussion is based on recordings provided by the late A’uwẽ elder and leader Tsidowi Wai'adzatse’ in 2006. He wished that the calls be documented so younger individuals will have means to recall them. I address how Indigenous A’uwẽ hunters in the Brazilian cerrado communicate over long distances with hunting calls that encode rich ethnozoological information. After introducing the topic and context, I begin with a presentation of five ethnozoological calls Tsidowi demonstrated, which he considered the complete repertoire of A’uwẽ hunting calls. Following these short descriptions, I discuss some of the vocal qualities observed in the calls (without conducting a full linguistic analysis), the ethnozoological information they encode, and their prospects for continued use into the future within the context of group hunting with fire.

A'uwẽ(Xavante)打猎电话:巴西塞拉多人种学沟通与协调的声乐曲目

集体狩猎是许多土著人民的生产性生计活动,可以充分利用其领土和游戏资源。奥瓦(Xavante)团体狩猎可能需要大量个人来协调大范围的团体狩猎活动。A'uwẽ团体狩猎和用火狩猎是一项复杂的工作,需要多年的准备,充分的讨论和狩猎后分析。他们的打猎电话是遵循既定的语音惯例的程式化表达,可以在猎人之间进行长距离通信,传达复杂的信息,以便跟随,冲洗,派遣和携带游戏。讨论的依据是已故的A'uwẽ长者和领导人Tsidowi Wai'adzatse'在2006年提供的录音。他希望记录下这些电话,以便年轻人能够回忆起这些电话。我讨论了巴西塞拉多地区的土著A'uwẽ猎人如何与打猎电话通话,这些打猎电话编码着丰富的民族学信息。在介绍了主题和背景之后,我首先介绍Tsidowi展示的五个民族学研究电话,他认为这是A'uwẽ狩猎电话的完整曲目。根据这些简短的描述,我将讨论在通话中观察到的一些声音品质(不进行完整的语言分析),它们编码的民族学信息以及在火伴生的情况下在未来继续使用的前景。首先,我将介绍Tsidowi演示的五个民族学研究电话,他认为这是A'uwẽ狩猎电话的完整曲目。根据这些简短的描述,我将讨论在通话中观察到的一些声音品质(不进行完整的语言分析),它们编码的民族学信息以及在火伴生的情况下在未来继续使用的前景。首先,我将介绍Tsidowi演示的五个民族学研究电话,他认为这是A'uwẽ狩猎电话的完整曲目。根据这些简短的描述,我将讨论在通话中观察到的一些声音品质(不进行完整的语言分析),它们编码的民族学信息以及在火伴生的情况下在未来继续使用的前景。
