Descripción
Sumario:The objective of this work is to describe and analyze the responses of indigenous peoples to the Covid-19 pandemic, specifically the actions of certain indigenous organizations in the Metropolitan Region of Buenos Aires - Argentina. Although these are linked to ancestral knowledge and practices, they are also related to their histories, trajectories and transformations. For this reason, it is proposed that in order to assess the potential contributions of other worldviews to face the health emergency, it is essential to review racism and ethnocentrism, from which these “other” knowledge and its carriers are disqualified.
