摘要

What is it like to experience Covid-19 in the Ecuadorian Amazon rainforest? We found out by speaking with a community of the Shuar, Indigenous people of Ecuador and Peru. Our conversations gave us a sense of the distance that exists between healthcare provided by the Ecuadorian state and caring for health within the Shuar community. In April 2020, a friend and leader of a Shuar community reached out to several colleagues to denounce the racist response to the pandemic in their communities from the Ecuadorian Ministry of Health. In their community alone, there were more than 15 people with symptoms similar in every way to Covid-19. Yet the staff from the Ministry of Health insisted there were no cases. It was early in the pandemic, testing was scarce, and medical staff were overworked; but this was no reason to deny the experience of sickness that Shuar communities were undergoing. Their symptoms were dismissed as "some form of tropical disease" and they were told their way of life was to blame, due to "living in huts filled with smoke." The official response reproduced many of the inequalities that exist in Ecuadorian society linked to gender, race, ethnicity, and class. Our Shuar friends received help only after international and national organizations and individuals created a public outcry over how they were being ignored and potentially left to die in the depths of the rainforest. There is little access to hospitals and healthcare centers as you move away from the more urban areas into the rainforest. But to our friends, this remoteness-the connections to the forest, its animals, its waterfalls, and its sounds-is what makes their lives and livelihoods possible. The rainforest is their healing space because it is where knowledge is made and where expert views on how to care for the body and soul come from. From their point of view, it is their experience and knowledge of medicinal plants, administered with attentive care and passed on through generations, that ultimately allowed the community to limit the number of Covid-19 deaths.
