From there, it aims to analyze the way in which through the regulations and protocols to prevent the spread of Covid-19, sanctioned by the State of Argentina, forms of government were administered in Foucauldian terms to make people live (and its counterpart: letting die) that came into tension and excluded other ways of living belonging to indigenous peoples (and the respective normative frameworks that guarantee the right to their ways of life). In order to problematize these exclusions, we will focus mainly on the claims made by the indigenous movement and, in particular, by Mapuche communities and organizations, which were articulating a request for them to let them live. Letting live implied a complaint regarding the implementation of health measures which, as they were being managed, did not guarantee access to health for these peoples within the biomedical system, nor the continuity of their own health practices and systems. En el marco de la propuesta de la convocatoria, este artículo reflexiona sobre las tensiones que la pandemia agudizó entre la salud como un derecho universal, los derechos particulares de los pueblos indígenas y las prácticas autonómicas en salud de dichos pueblos. Desde allí, se propone analizar la forma en la cual a través de las normativas y protocolos para evitar la propagación del Covid-19, sancionados por el Estado argentino, se administraron, en términos foucaultianos, formas de gobierno para hacer vivir (y su contraparte de dejar morir) que entraron en tensión y excluyeron otras formas de vivir pertenecientes a los pueblos indígenas (y los respectivos marcos normativos que garantizan el derecho a sus formas de vida). Para problematizar estas exclusiones, nos centraremos principalmente en los reclamos enunciados desde el movimiento indígena, y en particular por comunidades y organizaciones mapuche, los cuales fueron articulando un pedido por que los dejen vivir. El dejar vivir implicó una denuncia respecto a la implementación de las medidas sanitarias las que, tal como estaban siendo gestionadas, no garantizaban ni el acceso a la salud de estos pueblos dentro del sistema biomédico, ni la continuidad de sus prácticas y sistemas de salud propios.
