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.
While at

Archive of the Indigenous Languages of Latin America, a web-based
archive of sound recordings and texts from diverse indigenous languages
of Latin America. Please visit the AILLA
