Indigenous leaders say the figures presented for Brazil’s Indigenous population are an underestimate, given the self-declaration of many natives as pardos to try to evade the wider society’s ingrained prejudice against native people:

“By the 18th century many Amerindian families adopted the expression pardos to not be enslaved or killed. Anyone who reads the history of our ancestors knows that this concealment was a resource for the survival of many collectivities of native peoples here in this territory,” said Ailton Krenak, a prominent Indigenous leader.

“These categories [in the census] were created to hide our identity and erase our memory.” Krenak was speaking at the event “I am Indigenous, not pardo”, promoted in April as part of a national Indigenous mobilization effort to bolster the self-declaration in the next census of Indigenous people who had identified themselves as pardo in previous censuses.

The next census is due in 2022, and activists and leaders are mounting a campaign to get all Indigenous Brazilians to self-declare as Indigenous.

How many Native Brazilians will the 2022 census count?

In 2010 census it was less than 1 million.

Maybe now it will be... 3 million or more?

Brazilian census is generic (Mulatos, ex-Amerindians, mestizos and tri-racial = Pardos).

Most Amerindians, no longer "tribal natives" but urban people. Prejudice is relative and they are not Pardos, but Cablocos (mestizo, even for pure ex-Amerindians).

I always thought that Brazil, Venezuela & Colombia underestimated their amerindian population. I've met people from those countries specially Venezuela and Colombia who have looked pure amerindian and indomestizo.

Probably self-declared mestizos

True! They prefer call thenselves Northeastern Brazilians to call thenselves as Natives. Unfortunatelly they see their greatfull society and culture as something bad or a thing to feel ashamed, when it would be their pride. Western society were toxic to them. I've watched it in a doccumentary just about it. But it wouldn't add so much of them, they barelly reach 1%. They were decimated, unfortunately. Only their genes are alive in some Brazilians veins.
