Tumble Weed Denise This is fake news , They are labeling everybody thats dying of covid even if they have stage 4 cancer. One hospital got caught faking patients by using their own nurses to pretend like they were COVID-19 patients. The hospitals get triple the amount of money from the government if they say someone died of Covid . So basically if you come in with stage four cancer and you were going to die anyways and you have a sniffle or cough they will say you tired of COVID-19

[@tumbleweeddenise]

Everest Smith I am working in the ER with the Navajo and Hopi and trust me this is not fake news. Unless you have watched a young person die from this you should keep your comments to yourself.

[@JesusSaves194]

Tumble Weed Denise I personal know 2 people who got covid and they recovered in 3 days , they said it was like a common flu. My sister has been a nurse for over 30 years in California Bay Area A very crowded area and she says her hospital is very slow , 90% of the people dying of covid have one to three other prior symptoms like cancer asthma or bronchitis or pneumonia. 60,000- 80,000 people die of the common flu every year.

They live in the middle of a desert where the aquifer is so far beneath the ground that drilling wells is expensive. Also the groundwater may be polluted from mining or other industry. You cant lay water pipes because they live so far apart from each other out there, that it would be millions per household to do the job.

Reread your statement, and ask yourself if it makes coherent sense. Then look up under what states the Navajo Nation territory goes through. After you get that answer; hopefully you begin to understand that your statement is not logical in this topic. Lastly, look up under what branch of government the economic, health, and regulations in reservations for Natives fall under. Than hopefully you see who has failed Native Americans not just during this crisis.

Why does the Navajo want again more money from the government. I want to know where all the millions they get from casinos and the Navajo generating station . They don’t want to be a part of our government and our country’s unless they all of a sudden need help . Why is there no infrastructure on the Rez ?

With different nations they only care about their select few, honestly thats the way it should be all tribes helpn all. Thats me coming from a poor tribe tho. But the navajo r really poor because of their geographic location.

[@23darvin]

Because we do not have aid from a tribe in another state, and even if we did we wouldn't get it from the Casino. Many Casinos either invest in the tribes government to provide aid to the elderly, college students, and schools., or they disperse funding out to tribal members to help everyone struggling on their reservation. But your notion that tribal governments should help each-other out is correct. All tribal cultures and systems of government is unique. -from a guy who is from Whitecone, Arizona, aka in the Navajo Nation.

[@jakebhenry2228]

Frankie Kohl I think it’s the same as a rich community right next to a poor community. The rich doesn’t simply hand money to the poor. I don’t think Indians view their different tribal communities as the same entity, no patriotism with different cultures.

Please do not underplay the effect of a lack of running water. Many reservations across the US do not have water, so the issue of being able to wash hands is a nation-wide issue. Folks in reservations should be supported and helped to get water and masks, not simply punished.

They are so remote, I honestly don’t believe any of this. They are deliberately being targeted. Staying inside won’t do anything for them. My question is how do people who live in such a remote place get sick like this?

[@HomiePopTart23]

Freddy Bob Before the state issued any quarantine laws we had all of our stores bought out of toilet paper and sanitation equipment on the Rez because people from out of state came in and bought it all. Which made a lot of us have to go closer to city stores. We're remote but we still have to go into town to get supplies, toilet paper, livestock feed. We also have a Christian tent church near our reservation that had been holding normal gatherings until the quarantine became enforced by the police dept. It could have been spread a lot of ways from those.

[@freddybob807]

HomiePopTart23 Understood. Also, I’d be careful and very weary of those test kits that they are distributing. Having heard from people administering those tests given to them by the cdc that people would have a negative test result prior to testing and then a positive result after testing. There’s just a lot of shady stuff going on and it’s no secret that America does not like the native Indians. And for the love of god I hope none of you take any of their vaccinations.

[@todwod]

I'm Navajo and live on the Rez. From my understanding back when funding was being allocated for infrastructure around the country, natives didn't have the right to vote so they had no say in the matter. It's 2020 in America and about a third of my community doesn't have access to running water. Shallower wells are tainted with uranium back when it was extracted for WW2. Only way for clean safe water is to haul it in or have access to a municipality that drills very deep and very expensive wells.
