Among the approximately 160 indigenous languages that currently exist in Brazil is the Mekens or Sakurabiat language, spoken by the indigenous people of Sakurabiat in the state of Rondônia. The Sakurabiat language is one of the languages threatened with extinction, and has 25 speakers. The project of editing and publishing the book "Mythological Narratives of the Sakurabiat Indigenous People" aims primarily at documenting and disseminating the knowledge and traditional beliefs of the Sakurabiat expressed through myths, so that not only the group will benefit from the documentation of their language and culture, but also society in general, since it allows to know a little more about the Brazilian indigenous languages. The narratives were documented by initially recording, transcribing, and translating them, and then digitizing and editing them. A total of 25 narratives were collected, which are currently in the editing and revision phase, in which they are prepared for publication. It is known that the language spoken by a people is one of the most significant expressions of their culture and, consequently, of their identity. Besides being the form of daily communication, it is the means by which traditional knowledge is transmitted, passed on from generation to generation. Thus, it is concluded that this project is extremely relevant in the documentation and revitalization of the language and, consequently, of the Sakurabiat culture.
