The estimates of the number of Yukaré Indians have varied considerably over the years. Estimates divers from 200 ... to 2751 ... Adelaar (1991:57) estimates 500-2500. The most recent data come from the census held in 2003 where the number of 1399 Yurakaré is given. This number referss not to speakers, but to members, 15 years and older ... the total number is probably bigger, however, since the 2003 census did not reach all communities (Mily Crevels, p.c.) (p.1).
