One of Brazil’s leading indigenous leaders, Aritana Yawalapiti, died Wednesday of breathing headaches caused by COVID-19, his circle of relatives said.
Aritana, 71, leader of other Yawalapiti people in the Amazon, known for fighting to protect the world’s largest rainforest and the rights of other indigenous people living there.
“He is a wonderful advocate of the struggle to maintain and perpetuate the culture of his other parents for generations and a tireless activist who opposes the effects of deforestation,” his circle of relatives said in a statement.
Aritana was diagnosed with the new coronavirus about two weeks ago after having trouble breathing in her village in the Xingu Indigenous Reserve.
He died in an intensive care unit at a hospital in the town of Goiania.
The budget had increased for Aboriginal communities to face the pandemic when it became ill.
COVID-19 has hit Aboriginal teams in the region hard, with a history of vulnerability to external diseases.
In Brazil, more than 22,000 indigenous peoples have become inflamed and 633 have died, according to the Brazilian Association of Indigenous Peoples.
