Understanding The Second Wave Of Covid - 19 Khwedam

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.

Entrevista con Juana Peñate, Hubert Matiúwàa y Nadia López, poetas Indígenas

¿Por qué es importante conservar y revitalizar las lenguas Indígenas? ¿Y por qué es importante escribir en nuestras lenguas? En este programa producido por Cultural Survival invitamos a tres poetas Indígenas de México a reflexionar sobre estos temas. Ellos son: Juana Karen Peñate Montejo, poeta Ch’ol, Hubert Matiúwàa, poeta Me’phaa y Nadia López García, poeta Ñuu Savi. 

Mujeres líderes comunitarias y pandemia, en Me’phaa

La pandemia de COVID-19 ha generado más dificultades para el ejercicio del derecho a la participación política de las mujeres. En las comunidades y pueblos Indígenas, las mujeres enfrentaron, entre otras cosas, un aumento en las jornadas de cuidados hacia otras personas. En lugares como Ayutla de los Libres, Guerrero, México, este incremento de responsabilidades en el cuidado ocasionó que durante el tiempo de pandemia pocas mujeres ocuparan espacios de representación pública. 

Hay que seguir cuidándonos del Covid-19, en Me’phaa

El acceso limitado a los servicios básicos de salud sigue siendo un reto de gran escala para las comunidades Indígenas de todos los continentes, y la emergencia sanitaria por Covid-19 ha evidenciado más esta precaria situación. Sin embargo, a lo largo de la historia los Pueblos Indígenas hemos tomado el control para garantizar la salud  y la vida en nuestros territorios.
