Indian Country a year after covid
As Covid-19 began to
spread across the United
States, the first documented
case in Indian Country was
on the Confederated Tribes
of the Umatilla Indian Res-
ervation in Pendleton, on
March 2, 2020.
On that day the Umatilla
tribes announced that a staff
member at the Wildhorse
Resort & Casino had tested
positive for the coronavirus.
The next day, the tribes an-
nounced their casino would
be temporarily closed.
Since then, the deadly vi-
rus has spread throughout
Indian Country with a deadly
force.
The voluntary closures of
tribal casinos has resulted in
more than $10 billion in losses
in revenue, leading to re-
duced tribal services to tribal
citizenry.
Tribes provide services
such as health care, elder pro-
grams, education, housing,
among others.
As the year progressed,
Covid-19 cases in Indian
Country grew, devastating
communities.
According to the Centers
for Disease Control and Pre-
vention, Native American
communities have lost at least
5,307 lives to Covid-19, as of
late February.
Throughout all 50 states
and including the District of
Columbia, Indian Country
has the highest Covid-19
mortality rate among all races.
The breakdown among two
races tells the story:
After contracting Covid-
19, one in 390 Indigenous
Americans has died (or 256
deaths per 100,000). For
comparison: After contract-
ing covid, one in 665 White
Americans has died.
Be safe! Get vaccinated!
