COVID is devastating the indigenous communities across Brazil, where to date 29,824 people have tested positive and 785 have died, including elders and other knowledge sharers. This is happening at the same time as violence against these same indigenous communities has increased and deforestation of the Amazon is being encouraged by the Brazilian government. If you have any money to spare, the Articulation of Indigenous People in Brazil (APIB) is taking donations here.
