Resumo
Indigenous populations living in villages in
Brazil have presented high total fertility rates
(TFR) that have increased over time in some
cases. Meanwhile, data from the Brazilian Institute
of Geography and Statistics (IBGE) or
National Census Bureau show a decline in the
TFR for the total self-declared indigenous population
(combining urban, rural, and specific rural
residence). The current study uses data from
the 2000 Population Census to describe and
compare the structure and level of period fertility
for the cohort of self-declared indigenous
women living in the State of Minas Gerais. We
calculated age-specific fertility rates (ASFR),
the period TFR for 2000, and the cohort TFR
for women 50 years and older. According to the
findings, self-declared indigenous women living
in Minas Gerais experienced high fertility
in the past, regardless of their place of residence.
In conclusion, the 2000 Population Census is an
important data source for studies on indigenous
populations in Brazil, based on the high coverage
and wealth of information.
