In " The New Disease of the Whites ," we will discover how the population of one of Brazil's most indigenous cities, São Gabriel da Cachoeira, experienced the COVID-19 pandemic, and how this pandemic experience may 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.

Casa Floresta is a podcast series produced by the Instituto Socioambiental (ISA) and its Indigenous, riverside, and Quilombola partners living in the basins of the Negro, Xingu, and Ribeira de Iguape rivers. The team took special guests to visit the communities and learn about their initiatives. The 17 days of filming took place in four states (São Paulo, Mato Grosso, Amazonas, and Pará), resulting in deep and transformative dives into the Black and Indigenous roots of Brazil.
