Barra do Garças, Brazil (CNN) Crisanto Rudzö Tseremeywá was in hospital on a ventilator when his mother died from the coronavirus. The leader of some of Brazil's indigenous people says he felt her presence. Covid-19 struck Crisanto Rudzö Tseremevwá, President of the Mato Grosso Indigenous Federation, and both of his parents. Now recovering from his own battle with the coronavirus, Tseremeywá's first step was to try to get his people to stop listening to Brazil's President Jair Bolsonaro. The doctors have to prescribe, not the President," Tseremeywá tells me over a video call from his home in the Brazilian state of Mato Grosso.
