"The Kawaiwete language (also known as Kaiabi/Kayabi) is spoken by the Kawaiwete people, who number around 2000. Currently, most Kawaiwete who do not reside in the Xingu Indigenous Territory do not speak the Kawaiwete language.One example of a Kawaiwete territory outside Xingu is the community located close to the city Juara (Mato Grosso). A preliminary language vitality questionnaire in the region with 83 people who live there (out of a total of 300 people) showed that the proportion of speakers within the total population in the area is small (nine out of 83 interviewees); a total of seven people (out of 83 interviewees) report that they understand but do not speak Kawaiwete."

"Most of the population lives in the multilingual and multicultural Xingu Indigenous Territory, which is a territory protected by the Fundação Nacional do Índio (National Indian Foundation, FUNAI). A smaller part of the population lives outside of the Xingu territory in smaller communities located in the Mato Grosso state (Indigenous territory Apiaká-Kayabi, Indigenous territory Cayabi and Indigenous territory Cayabi Gleba Sul). While the majority of the Kawaiwete population lives in Xingu, this is not their traditional territory... Due to several fatal conflicts with rubber tappers and land explorers interested in stimulating agribusiness in central Brazil, the Kawaiwete were gradually transferred by plane from their traditional land to the Xingu Indigenous Territory in 1966, in order to avoid further fatal conflicts (by gunfire and diseases spread by invaders)."
