In "The New White Disease", we will discover how the population of one of the most indigenous cities in Brazil, São Gabriel da Cachoeira, experienced the COVID-19 pandemic, and how this pandemic experience can point to a different societal project.

São Gabriel is located in the northwest of the state of Amazonas, right on the border with Colombia and Venezuela, and is bathed by the Negro River, one of the main tributaries of the Amazon River. This region is home to more than 23 different Indigenous peoples, speaking languages from the Arawak, Tukano, Tupi-Guarani, and Yanomami families.

The podcast is a memory project, which aims to leave a document so that the experience of the pandemic can be reflected upon by current and future generations of Indigenous and non-Indigenous people.

Forest House is a podcast series produced by the Socioenvironmental Institute (ISA) and its Indigenous, riverine, and Quilombola partners living in the Negro, Xingu, and Ribeira de Iguape river basins. The team brought special guests to learn about the communities and their initiatives. The 17-day recording session spanned four states (São Paulo, Mato Grosso, Amazonas, and Pará) resulted in deep and transformative dives into Brazil's Black and Indigenous roots.
