COVID-19 is a challenge for indigenous communities in Mexico. Social inequalities and limited access to services combine with historical patterns of discrimination to amplify its negative impacts. Nevertheless, there are important ways in which indigenous communities organise and respond. Our paper, organised in three parts, summarises these challenges as well as the response. In the first section, we introduce indigenous Oaxaca and the challenges facing indigenous communities. In the second section, we note the ways in which indigenous communities rely on their traditions in response to the pandemic and limitations they face. In the third and concluding section, we argue that the social inequalities that define indigenous life in Oaxaca must be acknowledged in order to create an effective public health response to COVID-19.
