Acesso em:.1982-5374https://repositorio.ufpa.br/handle/2011/14088The aim of this article is to present and discuss some of the reasons that have caused the progressive loss of a significant portion of natural in Brazil, especially in the brazilian Amazon, and the consequences of this loss for the maintenance of the traditional people’s way of life in relation to their territories, their identities, and their languages, with emphasis on indigenous people who are one of the most responsible for nature conservation. The data comes from websites scientific articles and in the case of the linguistic data, from the author’s fieldwork. It was concluded that the progress promised with the exploitation of the natural resources of the Amazon, was not satisfactory for the great majority of the Brazilian population, especially the traditional populations.Acesso Abertohttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/Línguas indígenasPopulações tradicionaisRecursos naturaisIndigenous languagesTraditional populationsNatural resourcesArtigo de Periódico10.18542/mri.v15i24.9797
