Continuously homogeneous hereditarily indecomposable continua are tree-like

A topological space $X$ is continuously homogeneous if for any $x,y\in X$ there exists a continuous surjection $f:X\to X$ with $f(x)=y$. We show that continuously homogeneous hereditarily indecomposable continua are tree-like, therefore, extending results of Bing and Rogers for homeomorphism and a result of Sturm for the pseudo-circle and pseudo-solenoids. This also provides a partial answer to the question of Lewis whether all continuously homogeneous hereditarily indecomposable continua are homogeneous.
