| description | This article aims to explore how the Covid-19 pandemic affected – and still affects – the
social organization of the Boca da Mata village in Roraima. Indigenous practices rely on
collective action for everything from daily life, while sharing backyards, to exchanging food,
holding meetings and sharing information both orally and in person. Collectiveness is an
essential characteristic of indigenous peoples’ social and cultural structure. A dialogue with
two health professionals who work with indigenous peoples shone light on the challenges
that the pandemic has created for these peoples in practical matters ranging from access to
vaccines to strategies that had to be created to address the pandemic. |
