Sumario:This research reflects on the ethnomedia practices carried out by the Indigenous Council of Roraima’s (CIR) web portal during the Covid-19 pandemic, aiming to understand how the organization constructs meanings about the disease. To this end, we first identified the principles of Indigenous Ethnocommunication, based on Baniwa (2012) and Tupinambá (2016), and then employed the concepts of Representation by Hall (2003) and Soares (2007) and Discourse Analysis by Pêcheux (1997) and Souza (2014) to examine the corpus of study, which consists of 15 textual publications on Covid-19, made by the CIR between March 21 and April 21, 2020.
