The scope of this project is to study the Tuyuka language as it is used in communities served by the Tuyuka indigenous school, and to aid the school’s efforts toward language maintenance. The school serves five communities in Brazilian and Colombian territories: São Pedro, Cachoeira Comprida, Fronteira, Papunha and Bella Vista, and my fieldwork will be conducted primarily in the first two, on the Brazilian side of the upper Tiquié river. Tuyuka is an Eastern Tukano language spoken by approximately one thousand people distributed in some twenty communities in Brazilian and Colombian territories in northwestern Amazonia.
