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.
居住在巴西乡村的原住民人口呈现出较高的总和生育率（TFR），在某些情况下，这一数值还随时间推移而上升。与此同时，巴西地理与统计研究所（IBGE）或国家人口普查局的数据显示，自称原住民的总人口（包括城市、农村及特定农村居住地人口）的总和生育率有所下降。本研究利用2000年人口普查数据，描述并比较了米纳斯吉拉斯州自称原住民的女性队列的时期生育率结构和水平。我们计算了特定年龄生育率（ASFR）、2000年的时期总和生育率以及50岁及以上女性的队列总和生育率。研究结果表明，居住在米纳斯吉拉斯州的自称原住民的女性，无论居住地点如何，过去都经历过高生育率。总之，基于高覆盖率和丰富的信息，2000年人口普查是巴西原住民人口研究的重要数据来源。
