| Description | Presentation abstract: Historically, the Pantanal wetlands were inhabited by several ethnicities, which pertained to different linguistic groups, such as Bororoan, Arawakan, Tupian, Guaikuruan, Zamucoan and Macro-Jean, alongside some non-classified languages. The area was a point of confluence of different people, which also circulated in other major South American areas. The Pantanal was surrounded and pervaded by trade networks, described in the earliest accounts written by colonizers. Portuguese and Spanish invaders undermined the basis of this pre-Columbian linguistic ecology, as all the indigenous groups were affected by the colonial struggle for indigenous labour power and territorial domination. Several local groups were totally extinguished or assimilated. One aim of our study is to understand the patterns of contact between Pantanal indigenous groups in the past. For that purpose, we will look for shared features in material culture, social structures, mythologies, languages, and other domains. Another aim is to describe the colonization policies in the Pantanal region and to understand how exactly they contributed to the disintegration of the local multicultural landscape. |
