Keren Madora Everett (née Graham) is an American linguist and Christian missionary. Everett has spent years in the Amazon studying the Pirahã tribe and their language.
The Pirahã language is of interest to linguists, but only a few people apart from the Pirahã are fluent in it. Everett's ex-husband Daniel is the best-known authority on the language. Everett herself made breakthroughs with the prosody of Pirahã.[1] Their son is Caleb Everett.[citation needed]
They lived among the Pirahã from 1978 to 1983 and from 1999 to 2002. Following their separation in 2005, Keren returned to Brazil where she continued her missionary work among the Pirahã.[1]
