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.

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 pandemia de Covid-19 ha perjudicado en diferentes formas la vida en los pueblos y comunidades Indígenas, afectando la salud, la economía, la alimentación, la educación, entre otras áreas. ¿Cómo ha vivido esta pandemia la Tribu Yaqui? ¿A qué dificultades se ha enfrentado? ¿Qué acciones han tomado las autoridades comunitarias para hacer frente al Covid-19? ¿Cómo  los ocho pueblos que conforman esta Tribu están retomando las actividades que realizaban antes de la pandemia? 

Además de afectaciones en el tema de la salud, la pandemia de Covid-19 ha acarreado problemas a nivel económico, educativo, alimenticio, entre otras áreas. En la agricultura, las afectaciones han sido graves, pues muchos pueblos y comunidades Indígenas perdieron sus cosechas, lo que impactó de manera directa en la soberanía alimentaria. 

Durante la pandemia por Covid-19 muchos aspectos de nuestra vida cotidiana se han transformado y la educación no ha sido la excepción. En estos años, las clases dejaron de ser presenciales y se llevaron a un entorno virtual, una medida que permitió evitar más contagios. Pero, ¿qué pasó con la educación en los pueblos y comunidades Indígenas? ¿A qué se enfrentaron los estudiantes en lugares donde muy poca población cuenta con equipos para acceder a clases virtuales o en donde no existe servicio de internet?  

La pandemia de Covid-19 ha afectado de diferentes maneras 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. A pesar de esta situación, los pueblos Indígenas han buscado formas para lograr que su mundo espiritual y terrenal se mantengan en equilibrio, ¿cómo lo han hecho? 

El agua es un bien común imprescindible para la vida, sin embargo, muchos pueblos y comunidades Indígenas carecen de acceso a agua limpia y potable. Durante la pandemia de Covid-19, este vital líquido ha resultado aún más importante en la preparación de alimentos y medicinas, el aseo personal y el lavado constante de las manos, no obstante, para millones de personas este servicio es irregular o nulo, afectando principalmente a las mujeres Indígenas, que son las responsables del cuidado de la familia.
