The sister of the knife-wielding Lancaster, Penn. man shot dead…

\n ALTO RIO GUAMA INDIGENOUS TERRITORY, Brazil \u2014 A group of Temb\u00e9 men armed with bows and shotguns arrived on motorcycles at the wooden gate blocking access to their villages in Brazil\u2019s Amazon. One of them removed the padlock and slipped the chain off the gate.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou are invited,\u201d 33-year-old Regis Tufo Moreira Temb\u00e9 said to a visitor. \u201cWhat we are doing is for everyone, and for our good.\u201d<\/p>\n

The gate has seldom swung open since March, which helps to explain why the Temb\u00e9 have gone six months without a single confirmed coronavirus infection. To celebrate that milestone, they were preparing a festival and invited an Associated Press photographer to observe.<\/p>\n

The Temb\u00e9 are the western branch of the Tenetehara ethnicity, located in the Alto Rio Guama Indigenous territory on the western edge of Para state. The virus has infiltrated the lands of dozens of Indigenous groups after they came to nearby cities to trade, buy staples and collect emergency welfare payments from the government.<\/p>\n

The hundreds of Temb\u00e9 people of the Cajueiro, Tekohaw and Canind\u00e9 villages locked their gate and allowed people out only in case of emergency, while restricting entry to agents from the federal Indigenous health care provider, SESAI. Now, after the number of daily COVID-19 cases and deaths in Para has finally plunged, the Temb\u00e9 have begun believing they will emerge from the pandemic unscathed.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe didn\u2019t go to the city, we didn\u2019t go to other villages. We remained in quarantine. We got through, we are still getting through,\u201d said S\u00e9rgio Muxi Temb\u00e9, the leader of the Tekohow village. \u201cWe are doing a small commemoration because of that, and it\u2019s because of that we are happ<\/a>y that today we do not have any cases.\u201d<\/p>\n

Late afternoon on Sept. 9, the women of Tekohow gathered inside the communal kitchen to prepare a feast with giant pots of manioc and rice, plus roasted tucunare fish wrapped in banana leaves. At the very start of the epidemic, women from the three villages formed councils and visited residents at their board-and-batten homes to educate them about the peril of COVID-19 and how it is transmitted.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe decided to create the group to give more orientation to the families because, even with the speech from the health technicians, people continued leaving,\u201d Sandra Temb\u00e9, a 48-year-old teacher of the native language, said in an interview. \u201cAt the start, it was very difficult for us because there were families who we arrived to orient who didn\u2019t want to agree, and said, \u2018Why are you saying that? Why stay in isolation?\u2019 That moment was very critical.\u201d<\/p>\n

She is thankful they listened, and that her people haven\u2019t suffered like other ethnicities. The tally from Indigenous organization APIB, which includes health ministry figures and information from local leaders, shows there have been 31,306 confirmed coronavirus infections and 793 deaths among Indigenous people. It has infected members from 158 ethnicities, 60% of those found in Brazil, according to the Socio-Environmental Institute, an Indigenous advocacy group.<\/p>\n

The Temb\u00e9 also relied on a traditional herbal brew to shore up the health of the weak and elderly, according to Paulo Sergio Temb\u00e9, 50. Inside his home, he withdrew from a handmade basket the ingredients for the concoction and displayed them one by one.<\/p>\n

As the sun went down, Tekohaw\u2019s leader, S\u00e9rgio Muxi, stood chanting with an elder by two bonfires in front of the thatch-roofed meeting house; they cheered the Temb\u00e9 resilience in the face of COVID-19 and offered their thanks in the native language, S\u00e9rgio Muxi explained later. Eventually, other members of the village joined in the singing, with others dancing. A line of children paraded with their hands on each others\u2019 shoulders.<\/p>\n

The next morning, the people awoke and began donning traditional feather headdresses and painting their bodies. Two marching groups converged at the site of the prior night\u2019s bonfire, where they danced to the rhythm of traditional maracas played by the village\u2019s leader and elders. The celebration continued for two hours before finally quieting, and the villagers returned to their homes, fields and forest to resume their daily lives.\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
