This study addresses how Indigenous movements from different parts of the country denounced, throughout the pandemic, the omissions in providing differentiated healthcare to Indigenous populations as an intentional and systematic genocide by the Brazilian State. The lack of resonance of their demands within state structures has led Indigenous movements to implement alternative actions to confront the epidemic. Focusing on the COVID-19 Response Plans of Indigenous movements from different regions of the country, this work sought to analyze the strategies for exercising social control in Indigenous health that have shaped important mobilizations, articulations, and denunciations, both for the prevention and treatment of COVID-19 and for improving Indigenous healthcare in the country.
