A sketch of the history of the study of the native languages in Brazil will be presented. Then the current situation of the indigenous languages and peoples will be discussed. The progress and prospects of language documentation in Brazil will be described, to give some idea of what is happening in this field. Lastly, the needs of the indigenous communities will be explained. 

Moderator: Andrej Kibrik, Director of the Institute of Linguistics of the Russian Academy of Sciences
