Indigenous peoples responding to Covid-19 in Brazil: social arrangements in a Global Health emergency

该提案的重点是巴西土著人民对COVID-19大流行的应对，巴西目前是世界上感染人数第二多的国家（截至8月7日有2，962，442例）。土著人民正在承担责任，将新病毒在其社区中的传播控制在自己手中。利用人类学知识和方法，我们将确定土著人的反应并帮助制定减轻风险的策略。我们将与土著卫生特别机构（SESAI）密切合作，我们的目标是与全球和公共卫生机构和政策合作，并让决策者参与制定更好的应对措施，以应对这次疫情。三个方案主题将构成研究和行动的框架：1.健康、护理和死亡; 2。流动性和流通性; 3。性别.还将开发一个数字平台“美洲印第安人应对COVID-19 -人类学平台”，并将其作为一种工具，使用不同的媒体，包括播客和视频日记，以及学术论文，真实的发布简短的报告。将向SESAI提交月度报告，并将在巴西各地区开展八项案例研究。该项目将对减轻这一流行病对土著人民的严重影响产生重要影响。它还将为巴西、所有拥有大型土著社区的国家和其他国家提供重要的经验教训，以提高未来的复原力，在这些国家，基于社区的应对措施可能是帮助防止传播和生命损失的关键。

This proposal is focused on indigenous peoples' response to the COVID-19 pandemic in Brazil, a country which now has the second highest number of infected people in the world (2,962,442 cases by 7th August). Indigenous peoples are taking responsibility to contain the spread of the new virus among their communities into their own hands. Using anthropological knowledge and methodology, we will identify indigenous responses and help to mobilise strategies to mitigate risk. We will work closely with the special agency for indigenous health (SESAI), and we aim to cooperate with global and public health agencies and policies, as well to engage decision makers to shape better responses to face this outbreak. Three programme themes will frame the research and actions: 1. Health, Care and Death; 2. Mobility and Circulation; and 3. Gender. A digital platform 'Amerindian Response COVID-19 - Anthropology Platform' will also be developed and used as a tool to publish brief reports in real time, using different media, including podcasts and video diaries, in addition to academic papers. Monthly reports will be addressed to SESAI and eight case studies will be conducted across Brazil's regions. The project will have an important impact to mitigate the severe impact of this pandemic on indigenous people. It will also provide vital lessons to increase resilience for the future for Brazil, for all nations with large indigenous communities and for other nations where community-based responses may be a key to help prevent transmission and loss of life.
