Resumo

The missionary organization Summer Institute of Linguistics (SIL) is registered as a consultant for UNESCO. In one of the early meetings of the Latin American Work Group of the International Decade of Indigenous Languages (2022-2032), the ongoing collaboration of UNESCO with the Summer Institute of Linguistics (SIL) and its possible role in the Decade of Indigenous Languages was questioned. A UNESCO representative expressed interest in receiving more information on the subject from the linguists. Thereupon, the issue was raised at the General Assembly of the Amazonicas VIII conference of linguists in June of 2021. This resulted in an open letter (in English, Spanish and Portuguese) drawn up by an independent group of linguists who study Amazonian languages. This letter provides concrete information on the role of SIL and its related organizations in activities that run counter to the goals and policy of UNESCO with regard to linguistic and cultural diversity. The information is corroborated by 18 footnotes that link to documents (and video footage) that are, or were, available on the web. The letter represents an appeal to cancel the involvement of SIL in UNESCO programs concerning indigenous languages and cultures. It was undersigned by some 200 linguists and other academics and professionals from different disciplines and different areas of the world. It was sent to the Executive Board of UNESCO on the 23rd of December 2022. The letter is available in two parts: (1) the signed letter; (2) the webpages cited in the 18 footnotes.
