There is no unified policy for preservation and/or documentation of endangered languages. Each case engenders its own issues and constraints due to its particular cultural and historical situation. Documentation of the Amazonian Trumai language and culture illustrates the intricacy of the parameters that run the gamut from globalisation to local and punctual conflicts, and from the state of world affairs to quarrels over chiefdom inheritance.
