This is a public service announcement about the coronavirus or Covid-19 disease outbreak.
While countries all over the world are on lockdown, and panic is the order of the day, this is a time when Indigenous Peoples around the world are encouraged to stay calm, and be strong, in the face of severe adversity.
What is most important to note, is that our elderly are the most vulnerable. We need to take extra precaution to save the lives of the ones who are dear to us, and the ones who have shown us the way to go, who have guided our feet on the path that we all walk.

This is a public service announcement about the coronavirus or Covid-19 disease outbreak.
The Covid-19 Pandemic is upon us, and we all need to adhere to all the hygiene protocols.
While it is important to ensure the well-being of our elders in the time of this global pandemic, let us take care of our children too. If this is new for us, imagine the psychological impact it has on our young ones. Take the time to explain it to them, first hand, as opposed to what they see and hear on social media, television and radio.

This is a public service announcement about the coronavirus or Covid-19 disease outbreak.
While we adhere to the  precautionary measures that prevent the spread of the coronavirus, it is important to strengthen the defenses in our body through  responsible and healthy nourishment. Having a healthy immune system means that our bodies can fight the virus. 
Within the community there are a great variety of foods that grow and are produced that can cover the needs of our families and of those elders who live alone.

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.

Los combustibles fósiles y otras fuentes de energía convencionales liberan muchos gases de efecto invernadero que perjudican al medio ambiente. Por esta razón, a nivel mundial se habla de la necesidad de una transición hacia el uso de fuentes de energías más limpias y el desarrollo de tecnologías como los sistemas de almacenamiento en baterías. No obstante, para la creación de dichas baterías son necesarios los llamados “minerales de transición”, cuya extracción aumenta el peligro de nuevos desplazamientos y despojo de territorios de los Pueblos Indígenas.

Indigenous communities should not let governments continue to destroy their territories and violate their right to Free, Prior and Informed Consent.
