  abstract   = {Ikpeng is a Cariban language spoken by the totality of the approximately 590 members of the ethnic group. The Ikpeng are latecomers to the cultural area of the Upper Xingu, enclosed since the middle of the 20th century within the Xingu Indigenous Park, in Central Brazil. Most of the published research on the language has focused on its morphosyntax and on offering a general typological outline of the language. Ikpeng has also been targeted by language documentation projects, but problems of a practical and bureaucratic nature have prevented, until now, the creation of open archives or repositories with the projects’ outputs. Ongoing research by the authors seeks to deepen our understanding of the structure of the language, as well as fostering the participation of indigenous researchers and the production of pedagogical materials for use in the local Indigenous schools.},
