This paper will explore the intricate developments of the COVID-19 pandemic from the unique and deeply meaningful perspective of the Mebengokré-Xikrin community, located in the Trincheira Bacajá Indigenous Land in the state of Pará, Brazil. Through an engaging narrative, she will examine the first records of COVID-19 in the Xikrin villages, revealing a series of stories that unfold over the course of the pandemic, which began in 2020. Crucial themes will be addressed, from the challenges faced with the initial cases of the virus to the strategies adopted by the Xikrin to deal with the disease, the development of medicines, the losses suffered and the expectation of new times brought by the vaccine. This analysis will highlight the Xikrin's remarkable resilience in the face of non-indigenous influences, providing a unique and in-depth understanding of their experience during this challenging period
