0268/2024 - Saúde dos Povos Indígenas: Dimensões Ambientais, Sócio-Culturais e Epidemiológicas e os Cenários das Políticas Públicas Health of Indigenous Peoples: Environmental, Socio-cultural, and Epidemiological Dimensions and Policy Scenarios
A configuração atual da saúde dos povos indígenas no Brasil reflete os impactos de uma história de cinco séculos de violência do processo colonial, que produziu depopulação, discriminação e vulnerabilidade social. Racismos e violências das mais diversas ordens, perda de territórios e degradação ambiental fazem parte do cotidiano dos povos indígenas. Este editorial apresenta o conteúdo de um fascículo temático de Ciência & Saúde Coletiva (C&SC), o primeiro do periódico dedicado ao tema, com reflexões e análises sobre os cenários e desafios contemporâneos do campo da saúde dos povos indígenas. No conjunto, são mais de duas dezenas de textos de autoras e autores, não indígenas e indígenas, de instituições de todo o país, além de pesquisadores estrangeiros, o que evidencia a diversidade de perspectivas metodológicas e temáticas. As contribuições apontam para a necessidade de articulações entre atividades de pesquisa e reflexão crítica na área da saúde coletiva, considerando os desafios na saúde indígena e a contínua necessidade de aprimoramento das políticas públicas.
