Rarámuri young girls from Cerro Pelón, one of the most remote communities in the Tarahumara region, protect themselves from the cold wind. Gathered together, they are waiting on December 19, 2020, for the arrival of a medical brigade that never came.
 In Cerro Pelón, the children do not attend school; they stay with their mothers and, from an early age, learn to work. They do not speak Spanish either. The symptoms of discomfort are treated by the traditional doctors, who rub their bodies, sometimes give them medicinal plants and talk to the patients, because talking is healing the soul and settling the emotions. This municipality in the Sierra Tarahumara, has occupied the first places in infant mortality due to malnutrition. In 2020, there were 871 cases of child malnutrition, according to the Chihuahua Secretary of Health. From the beginning of the enclosure, the authorities of the region warned the indigenous communities that a sickness was threatening the world, and that it was forbidden to gather in a massive way. From Holy Week onwards, during a month, the yúmare cerimonials are organized. For the elders of the Sierra Madre Occidental in northern Mexico, the yúmare cerimoniales, a ritual by which they invoke rain, is the only way to obtain water for the fields and for their alimentary independence. For reasons of the pandemic, in the communities of the Sierra Tarahumara, in 2020 there was no yúmare. The Covid-19 pandemic was accompanied by a terrible drought that continues to threaten to widen even further the marginalization gap in a historically violent area, and where the most vulnerable continue to be the youngest.
