A força comunitária indígena: reflexões com os Xakriabá no Brasil em tempos de Covid-19

Abstract

The article presents the first year of the pandemic in the Brazilian scenario in dialogue and action with indigenous peoples. The constant deconstruction of public policies and repeated aggressions against minorities in the country are aggravated by the displacements caused by Covid19. In view of this difficult context, we present a reflection on our experience with the Xakriabá indigenous people. We aim to contribute to the understanding of the processes to which we are all submitted in order to seek alliances capable of offering us alternatives and directions to face such a situation.
