Chris and Lev founded Cabeceras Aid Project in 1996, in order to create an opportunity for concerned outsiders -- including themselves -- to play a part in the development of mutually beneficial relationships between these groups and the "modern world."

Lev and Chris have carried out fieldwork for the organization in 1997, 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, and 2008. Various reports and results of their work are available at this website. Also, visit The ILDP webpages to learn more about the Iquito Language Documentation Project, launched in 2001.

Lev Michael is currently an Assistant Professor in the Linguistics department at the University of California at Berkeley.
Chris Beier is currently a graduate student in the Linguistic Anthropology program at the University of Texas at Austin.
