This conversation focuses on the unique perspectives and concerns of Native American tribal nations and communities in the face of Covid-19. We discuss the ways in which Native people both draw on generational knowledge and practices when faced with a new disease as well as new innovations that are helping us sustain and protect our communities during the pandemic. We also touch on unique challenges, like issues of funding, data collection, and reporting that Native communities face both in the local Milwaukee area and nationally.

Dr. Mark Powless (Oneida Nation) – an advocate of Oneida language and culture, the director of Our Ways at the Indian Community School, and a Marquette alumnus who serves as a member of the Marquette University’s Council on Native American Affairs
