ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. --- While the COVID-19 crisis has affected the entire planet, in the United States, the Native American community has been hit particularly hard. In New Mexico, Arizona and Utah, the Navajo Nation is under a mighty struggle, with over 1,000 cases alone on the reservation.

It's not just the Navajo Nation unfortunately, as the COVID-19 crisis has hit all the American Indian reservations and pueblos hard. One such group hit particularly hard is the Lakota Tribe in South Dakota.
