In October 2020, a group of people representing different Khoi and San Tribes gathered at the foot of Table Mountain in South Africa. There they have created a cultural space where they will stay for an indefinite period of time in an effort to reclaim the mountain. With the temporary huts providing a little shelter, and fire providing a little warmth, they are making it known that the mountain and the area surrounding it had once belonged to their ancestors. Bradley van Sitters is among the folks camped out at the foot of the mountain.

We interview Wilhelmina Van Dyk who coordinated the Khoikhoi language gathering in South Africa. This event put the Khoekhoegowab language in the spotlight and left attendees with basic vocabulary of the language after a few days.

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.

Jitsvinger (real name Quintin Goliath) is a celebrated South African artist from the Cape Flats known for fusing hip hop, poetry, theatre, and storytelling into a distinctive performance style rooted in Afrikaaps—the vernacular Afrikaans dialect of Cape Town. In this radio interview, Jitsvinger tells us about how his heritage influenced his music. We hear how Indigenous Khoi and San languages mixed with Dutch and languages from others who were brought to South Africa as slaves, contributed to the formation of Afrikaans, and how this heritage influences his music.

La pandemia de COVID-19 no sólo nos ha afectado en el tema de la salud, sino también en el tema económico. Para muchos pueblos y comunidades Indígenas de México, la economía local se ha empezado a reactivar recientemente con la reapertura completa de mercados, la reinstalación de negocios de comida y la venta de productos elaborados de manera artesanal como textiles y utensilios de barro. 

Desde el comienzo de la pandemia de COVID-19, en las redes sociales comenzó a circular una gran cantidad de información sobre esta enfermedad, su origen, sus síntomas, la forma de combatirla, las secuelas que deja a quienes se han contagiado, el proceso de vacunación para hacer frente a la misma, entre otros temas. En algunos casos se trata de información segura y confiable, cuyas fuentes principales son expertos en salud y estadísticas serias y corroboradas, en otros casos se trata de información poco segura, sustentada en miedos y creencias infundadas. 

La pandemia de COVID-19 no sólo ha afectado en el tema de la salud, sino también en el tema de la alimentación, la economía, la educación, entre otros. Durante estos tiempos de pandemia, ¿cómo podemos los Pueblos Indígenas asegurar una alimentación saludable? 

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. 

Durante la pandemia por COVID-19, las mujeres han tenido un papel fundamental para responder con eficacia a las necesidades que trajo consigo esta contingencia sanitaria. No obstante, se vieron acrecentadas las dificultades para el ejercicio del derecho a la participación política de las mujeres, pues ellas se enfrentaron, entre otras cosas, a un aumento en las jornadas de cuidados hacia sus familias, a mayor marginación y violencia. 

Los derechos humanos son normas que reconocen y protegen la dignidad de todos los seres humanos desde que nacen sin distinción alguna de nacionalidad, origen étnico, religión, lengua o cualquier otra condición. Todos tenemos los mismos derechos y éstos van desde los esenciales como el derecho a la vida, hasta otros que nos aseguran una existencia digna como los derechos a la alimentación, a la educación, al trabajo, a la salud y a la participación política.   

La pandemia de Covid-19 sigue causando estragos a nivel mundial; los contagios han disminuido, pero aún se viven afectaciones en la economía, la alimentación, la educación, la salud, entre otras áreas. Por esta razón, en los pueblos y comunidades Indígenas debemos seguir cuidándonos, ¿recuerdas cómo hacerlo? 

Durante la pandemia por Covid- 19, ¿cuáles fueron las principales preocupaciones de las mujeres Indígenas? ¿Cómo contribuyeron en la educación de sus hijos al determinarse que la enseñanza sería a través de medios digitales? ¿Qué acciones llevaron a cabo para contribuir en la economía familiar cuando sus esposos se quedaron desempleados por el cierre de los centros de trabajo?
