We’re going to get through this together.

Friend, Native communities were among the hardest hit by the pandemic and faced hospitalization and death at disproportionate rates. Natives actually recorded the highest infection rate in May of 2020. Now, just one year later, these same communities are leading the country in vaccination distribution. Official Navajo Nation numbers estimate that over 70% of the Diné people have received the vaccine.
The strategy in the fight against COVID-19 is derived from our Native traditions. Across our various cultures, we are taught the value of community and ensuring the wellbeing of others. From the very beginning of the pandemic, we’ve taken extra measures to ensure the safety of those around us. Through strict lockdowns, mask mandates, and vaccine education, we have prevailed against the institutional racism and healthcare inequity that has long been a threat to our culture.
As the fight to return to normal continues, it is important that we each embody a true sense of community. Defeating the pandemic as individuals is impossible, but together, with a commitment to teamwork and caring for one another, we can be victorious. Stay safe, mask up and protect one another.
Sincerely,
Rachel Hood
Native American Outreach Manager
