The historically unequal conditions of indigenous peoples are recognized in multiple social determinants, degrees of recognition and access to specific rights, with special impact on their health.

| description |
The historically unequal conditions of indigenous peoples are recognized in multiple social determinants, degrees of recognition and access to specific rights, with special impact on their health. Contemporary studies show a consistent replication of inequalities in the living and health conditions of indigenous peoples, when compared to non-indigenous peoples, in Latin America and in countries from different continents. Through a sociopolitical and historical analysis, based on the ethnography of documents produced mainly in the midst of the course of epidemics that would exterminate about 15% of the Yanomami population in the Brazilian Amazon in the 1980s, and its driving character in the formal creation of the country's First Indigenous Health District, I approach the long path of indigenous and indigenist mobilizations around the construction of a National Health Care Policy for Indigenous Peoples in Brazil. It is when a management of epidemics and human rights violations, operated by a transdisciplinary and transnational network acts contrary to the invisibility of this population segment, producing specific data on their health and territory and generating unprecedented legal effects in the Brazilian State apparatus. On the other hand, by highlighting the fundamental and recommendable character of indigenous peoples' participation in the formulation and implementation of health policies, I contrast the solid path of indigenous health policy with the little dialogue between the State, Indigenous Peoples and specific health actions in Brazil, given the current Covid-19 pandemic. |

Se reconocen las condiciones históricamente desiguales de los pueblos indígenas en sus diversas determinaciones sociales, grados de reconocimiento y acceso a derechos específicos, con especial impacto sobre su salud. Estudios contemporáneos evidencian la reproducción de desigualdades en las condiciones de vida y salud de los indígenas, especialmente si se comparan con los no indígenas, tanto en América Latina como en países de diferentes continentes. A través de un análisis socio-político e histórico, basado en una etnografía de documentos producidos sobre todo durante las epidemias que exterminaron aproximadamente al 15% de la población Yanomami en la Amazonia brasileña, en la década de 1980, y su carácter impulsor de la creación formal del Primer Distrito Sanitario Indígena del país, abordo la larga trayectoria de las movilizaciones indígenas e indigenistas que hicieron posible la elaboración de una Política Nacional de Salud para los Pueblos Indígenas. Es cuando un manejo de las epidemias y de violaciones de derechos humanos, por parte de una red transdisciplinaria y transnacional, actúa en contra de la invisibilidad de ese segmento de la población, elaborando datos específicos acerca de su salud y su territorio, y genera efectos inéditos en el aparato jurídico estatal brasileño. Por otra parte, al destacar el carácter esencial y recomendable de la participación de los indígenas en la formulación e implementación de políticas de salud, contrasto la sólida trayectoria de la política nacional de salud indígena con el poco diálogo que se ha registrado entre el Estado y los pueblos indígenas sobre las acciones específicas de salud ante la pandemia de Covid-19 en Brasil. São reconhecidas as condições historicamente desiguais de povos indígenas, em múltiplos determinantes sociais, graus de reconhecimento e acesso a direitos específicos, com especial impacto sobre sua saúde. Estudos contemporâneos evidenciam uma consistente replicação de desigualdades nas condições de vida e saúde de indígenas, quando comparados a não indígenas, na América Latina como em países de diferentes continentes. Através de uma análise sociopolítica e histórica, calcada na etnografia de documentos produzidos sobretudo em meio ao curso das epidemias que exterminariam cerca de 15% da população Yanomami da Amazônia brasileira, na década de 80, e de seu caráter impulsionador da criação formal do Primeiro Distrito Sanitário Indígena do país, abordo parte do longo percurso de mobilizações indígenas e indigenistas em torno da construção de uma Política Nacional de Atenção à Saúde de Povos Indígenas. É quando uma gestão das epidemias e violações de direitos humanos, operada por uma rede transdisciplinar e transnacional atua contrariamente à invisibilidade deste segmento populacional, produzindo dados específicos sobre sua saúde e território, gerando efeitos legais inéditos no aparato do Estado brasileiro. Por outro lado, ao destacar o caráter fundamental e recomendável da participação de indígenas na formulação e implementação de políticas de saúde, contrasto o sólido percurso da política de saúde indígena ao pouco diálogo entre Estado, Povos indígenas e ações de saúde específicas no Brasil, diante da corrente Pandemia de Covid-19.
