Description
The story of the Smooth-billed Ani (a type of bird in the cuckoo family1 ) is a myth
told by the Trumai people of the central region of Brazil. It was video recorded
in 2000 by the author (Raquel Guirardello-Damian) and narrated by Kumaru
Trumai, a middle-aged woman who has since died. She learned it from her father,
Ɨnɨtɨarɨ, a great and respected storyteller. The myth was later transcribed and
analyzed with the assistance of a young man, Tarukuy, who is bilingual in Trumai
and Portuguese. The text is presented in its phonological form with IPA symbols,
followed by English glosses and free translation.
