Native American communities across the country die from Covid19 at a rate 2.4 times higher than White non-Hispanics. This documentary highlights the work of the Hoopa Tribal Government, local medical experts from the K'ima:w medical center, Hoopa tribal radio station KIDE, and the Hoopa Office of Emergency Services. Those entities and community members continue to work hard to protect both tribal and non-tribal members of the Hoopa Valley community during the pandemic. As tribal nations experience high pandemic death tolls that number from hundreds to thousands, the Hoopa tribe has managed to keep the total death toll from Covid19 to 1.
The program was produced by FNX in partnership with Ethnic Media Service with the help of Sierra Health Foundation, the California Department of Aging, and the Blue Shield of California Foundation.
