La medicina tradicional ha existido desde tiempos precoloniales, y su uso y práctica  ha tomado mucha mayor importancia en los últimos años debido a la actual crisis por Covid-19

Los abuelos y abuelas han compartido su sabiduría y conocimiento sobre medicina natural a través de pláticas orales con sus hijos y nietos,  y las radios comunitarias son medios que han trasladado esta valiosa información a través de programas radiales que son producidos en idiomas Indígenas, español y otros idiomas más. 

Para los Pueblos Indígenas la tierra es nuestra madre, es fuente de vida y de sabiduría. Por esta razón, el cuidado de la tierra es fundamental en nuestras culturas. A lo largo de toda nuestra vida, hemos mantenido una estrecha relación con ella; no obstante, debido a la influencia de formas de vida ajenas que han llegado a nuestras comunidades, es necesario recordar a las nuevas generaciones el valor de la madre tierra.  

En la vida de los Pueblos Indígenas, los cuentos, historias y leyendas tienen un papel esencial. Muchas de ellas ayudan a explicar el origen de los pueblos y sus nombres, de los alimentos, festividades, características y comportamientos de animales y plantas, e incluso el origen del mundo.

Fossil fuels and other conventional energy sources release many greenhouse gases that harm the environment. For this reason, there is global talk of the need for a transition towards the use of cleaner energy sources and the development of technologies such as battery storage systems, and other cleaner sources of energy. However, for the creation of these energy sources, so-called “transition minerals” are necessary, the extraction of which increases the danger of new displacements and the dispossession of territories from Indigenous Peoples.

Covid-19 is still a grave reality, now with a new strain of the virus spreading across the world. When the pandemic first began, we did not expect it to last this long, and no one expected that it would spread so widely and have such a disastrous impact. As we move into 2021, it continues to be crucial to maintain social distance, avoid large groups of people, wash or sanitize our hands and wear masks consistently to stop the spread of the virus.

Limited access to basic health services remains a big problem for Indigenous communities across all continents. Indigenous populations in many countries have experienced poorer health outcomes compared to non-Indigenous populations. Mainstream health services have not adequately met the health needs of Indigenous Peoples in both rural and urban settings.
