In(formation), interculturality and the Covid-19 in indigenous territories of Mato Grosso do Sul

  • The unexpected situation of social confinement in order to reduce contagion among the population by COVID 19 directly impacted the traditional peoples and their Tekohá. Assuming that health is a way of being and living, that it respects indigenous peoples' own views on their well-being, and considering the precariousness to which they have been subjected since the arrival of european conquerors, mainly due to the diseases brought and unknown by these peoples, COVID-19 enters the indigenous territories, making educational actions essential to contribute to the dissemination of comprehensible information about the disease. In this context, booklets of health guidelines were elaborated and these booklets considered the amerindian cosmologies represented in the region of Dourados (MS), by the Guarani peoples, Kaiowá and Terena break with the reproduction of the colonial logic that european medical knowledge is superior to that of indigenous people. The circulation of printed material expanded the debates among the indigenous kinship about the fundamental care in the fight against the Pandemic and began to be used as pedagogical material to support local indigenous teachers and schools.
