To awaken from the coma of modernity is, for Krenak, to awaken to the possibility of becoming attuned to \"the cosmic sense of life.\" He points out that the COVID-19 pandemic affects all so-called \"human\" lives and that the time is ripe for us all to reflect on and undo the exclusivity and distinction that have characterized the concept of humanity throughout Western modernity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAilton Krena\u003c\/b\u003ek was born in the Doce River valley region (a territory of the Krenak people) in Brazil, and is an educational and environmental activist.
