Relation
Case Study: Navajo/Diné Nation
- The Navajo Nation stretches across much of northeastern Arizona, southeastern parts of Utah and northwestern New Mexico [27,000 sq miles]
- Communities have long faced systemic inequalities brought upon by hostile U.S. Federal Gov't relations, and these have manifested to create a disproportionately burdensome situation for members during the pandemic
- Limited health services, broken infrastructure, and above-average rates of immunocompromising diseases all increase the vulnerability of AI/AN populations to the outbreak
