Abstract

This article challenges us to reflect on the ideas of postponing the end of the world (Ailton Krenak), within the scope of the Tupiabá project. Letters were produced with the intention of understanding how indigenous people in villages and the world responded to Krenak's provocations amid the Covid-19 pandemic. The responses to postpone the end of the world represent alternatives for life and resistance against genocidal forms, appearing as "colorful parachutes" amidst chaos and death. These self-writings have gifted us with stories of ancestral knowledge about life and the land within the cosmogonies of our forefathers, constituting valuable knowledge for this time. They highlight cosmologies that can give meaning to and recreate life, particularly by opening channels of communication that tell other stories, often erased, silenced, or murdered.
