I have been doing field interviewing for about 28 years from 1979 to this one family specifically in the Chamula village for aborigines in Chiapas state of Mexico. From 1993 to 2005, I was put in a position to be interviewed or to listen to the interviews of the patient family, members of the family who survived the loss, and medical volunteers. Here in this abstract I would like to introduce such experiences on a concrete episode as the focal point and clarify one perspective of orality that focuses on the issue of relationship between the interviewer and the interviewee. We, who do interviewing as a job, tend not to question the problem of active questioning which we often fall into, though we try to place ourselves as best as possible in the shoes of the interviewee in terms of the physical and psychological state of mind. In academic field research, the tendency to speed up the results causes us to constantly face the challenge of the quality of our interviewing skills. To obtain a natural and authentic voice in the interview, of leaning to hear what the interviewee is saying, and to have a common point of view that can be shared between the interviewer and the interviewee for a successful interview.
