Abstract:

This source details the COVID-19 pandemic and the severe effects resulting stay-in-place orders have had on numerous aspects of the lives of Native American and Alaska Native people. It appears that some tribes have the highest infection rate in the US, although more precise details of Native infection rates are unclear because national COVID-19 reports do not identify Native American or Alaska Native people as a distinct demographic group, rather placing them in the “Other” category, making things very difficult to assess.
