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.

After months of clinical trials by many companies in different countries, several vaccines, which are 94-95% effective, have finally been approved and are now making their way to hospitals, clinics and doctors rooms. Successful trials of the vaccines have taken place with medical professionals and the elderly. Vaccines against COVID-19 will be available to us soon.

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.

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.

¿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. 

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. 

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 de Covid-19, las mujeres han vivido un incremento de las tareas domésticas y de cuidado. De acuerdo con información del Consejo Nacional de Evaluación de la Política de Desarrollo Social (CONEVAL) de México, en 2018 las mujeres dedicaban 22 horas por semana a quehaceres domésticos y 28 horas al cuidado de otras personas, cifras que aumentaron todavía más durante la pandemia. 

De acuerdo con el artículo “La agricultura, una práctica milenaria”, de la autora guatemalteca Vera Patricia Bolaños Santos, en la época prehistórica, cuando nuestros antepasados eran nómadas, las mujeres ya tenían saberes sobre la recolección de alimentos de la tierra, mismos que se profundizaron y ampliaron al hacernos sedentarios. 

La pandemia de Covid-19 ha afectado de diferentes formas la vida en los pueblos y comunidades Indígenas. Se han vivido afectaciones en la salud, en la economía, en la alimentación, en la educación, entre otras áreas. ¿Cómo han vivido esta pandemia las amas de casa? ¿A qué dificultades se han enfrentado? ¿Qué acciones tomaron las autoridades comunitarias para hacer frente al Covid-19? ¿Cómo están logrando los comerciantes locales reactivar sus negocios? 

De acuerdo con la Organización Mundial de la Salud, la salud es un estado de completo bienestar físico, mental y social, que permite a la persona realizar sus actividades, hacer frente al estrés normal de la vida, trabajar de forma productiva y contribuir a su comunidad; es decir, la salud no es únicamente la ausencia de trastornos o enfermedades físicas o mentales.
