Indigenous Populations & response to COVID-19

Overall, within the US, amongst Native American and Alaskan Native populations, the case rate of COVID-19 has far exceeded that of whites - being about 3.5 times higher, and damaging. Within the Cherokee Nation (my other tribal affiliation), public health officers and support from the Cherokee government, has led to lower death rates and curtailed COVID-19 cases, compared to those in the surrounding areas in Oklahoma. As of now, there have been no reported cases of workplace transmission, and even the local high school was reopened - with appropriate safety precautions. The Cherokee Nation has accredited their local control on COVID-19, in part due to their early and aggressive response (which in comparison to surround areas, waited much longer to take action). 

The Chief of the Cherokee Nation - Chuck Hoskin Jr. - highlighted early importance and adoption of face mask usage, and strongly supported the recommendations made by the tribe's health program. Thanks to implementations such as wearing masks indoors/outdoors/around others, reverence and respect to elders (and the Cherokee Nation's desire to protect them from the virus), and a strong adherence to leading experts like Dr. Fauci, the coordinated and rapid response made by the Cherokee Nation was made possible.
