Valentina Blackhorse 28, has died from coronavirus. She was a caring and honorably person that cared for her family and people. Valentina cared a lot about her culture and traditional ways. She knew a lot and was willing to learn news things through her job and Navajo culture. Encouraging the Navajo Nation to keep up with the culture. When the pandemic hit the Navajo nation it was very difficult for the people due the lack of reliable access to water and electricity. Social distancing was also difficult for families living in small households. Valentina had goals for the future of the Navajo nation where she wanted to oppose installation of pipelines so they can have access to water and protect the tribal lands.

It will not be safe to have kids go back to school because the virus can spread through enclosed halls and classrooms, Even though children are not that immune to getting covid-19 as much as adults. The AAP report shows that children can contract the virus before they enter the school, that some kids that have the virus are half as likely as adultas to transmit the disease, and that children tend to not be spreaders. School plays a major part in a child's life and maybe a place where some kids feel safer than at their homes, it also where some kids can eat when they don't have any food at home or aren't being fed. They need to be in contact with teachers and other students to grow and to learn more. Now that we are having virtual school some kids are not focusing and some don't have a parent figure to help them or some don't have internet access to do their work.

Jeannette Armstrong talks about her knowledge about her okanagan heritage philosophy and practices. That has been successful towards the okanagan people for thousands of years. She talks about how she views herself to the world and to her people. Even Though she is from two different tribes she knows where she stands in both places. She cannot be separated from her lands. When the okanagan people say ‘ourselves’ in their language they are actually saying ´the ones who dream and land together,’ meaning that is their original identity. Before anything else and that they are the living earth pieces and they identify themselves as separate from other things on the land. The Okanagan take their language seriously because the language teaches them that if you don't know the language you cannot activate the other capacities that come with it and you'll be lost. She also talks about how technology has separated the people by not communicating physically, living in isolation and fear. How they need to come together to protect their land, as the Earth protectors.

Native American Identity brought up how things have changed overtime from back then to now. May young Native Americans have been turning their interests towards the white ways and forgetting their Native ways. Perry G. Horse brings out how we are adapting to the ways white people are living, their language forgetting our Native language, and taking in their beliefs and religion. The government recognized tribes based on how Native they look. To be white in a society is to be privileged and others are well not privileged. In Native communities have to prove that we have Indian blood by filling out a certificate brought to us upon the tribal governments.

Native American communities have been hit the hardest by coronavirus. The Navajo Nation has reached the highest infection rate in the country and is higher than New York the worst state. Native Americans in New Mexico makeup one- tenth of the population and more than 55 percent of it is coronavirus cases. The human health fallout failure of the federal government has been most apparent when diseases outbreaks from the 1918 flu to 2000 H1N1 virus to today's novel coronavirus. In May various states released racial demographic data, but failed to identify Native American as a distinct group and lumped them into “other.” That has shown that Native Americans communities have been disproportionately affected by the pandemic. Many tribes have honored treaties , but the government has constantly fallen short of meeting the obligations like under funding the trust relationships through budget cuts, neglect, and appropriation of sovereign authority.

The novel Coronavirus is terrorizing indian country. This pandemic has been the longest in history to welcome foreign pathogens to indigenous people in America. Between 70 to 90 percent of Native American populations were killed by the disease that the European colonizers have brought over like smallpoxs. Native American communities have created social systems and medical and spiritual traditions to treat the sick and care for the dying.

Compared to other groups, indigenous peoples around the world tend to be more at risk from new infectious diseases. Indigenous populations around the world tend to be at greater risk of dying from Covid-19 because they frequently live days away from skilled medical aid from Emazonian indigenous communities. As of 28 July, 1,108 indigenous people had been killed by the disease and 27,517 cases had been reported, with the majority in Brazil, according to data released by Red Eclesial Panamazonia (Repam). In Amazonia, the disease has infected at least 38 indigenous countries. Amazon Watch executive director Leila Salazar-Lopez says of Amazonian tribal communities, "They are now facing the 'tipping point' of ecosystem destruction due to intensified risks of deforestation, explosions, industrial mining, agribusiness growth and climate change." More than 200 rural and subsistence Alaska groups have isolated themselves in Alaska, where many indigenous nations still recall the destruction of the 1918-19 influenza pandemic. The nation of Rarotonga, the largest in the Cook Island chain, shut down and isolated their whole island in the South Pacific. Hindou Oumarou Ibrahim, coordinator of the Association of Peul Women and Autochthonous Peoples of Chad, says that indigenous communities in Africa are vulnerable to Covid-19 because of a fragile health care system and problematic sanitation. But other problems could be caused by social distancing and lockdowns because people need to go to the market to buy and sell their products.

COVID-19 has been hard hit by the Navajo Nation, home to more than 173,000 individuals and stretches across parts of Utah, New Mexico and Arizona, with 4,944 confirmed population COVID-19 infections and 159 deaths as of May 29. The country was also facing a host of problems before the pandemic, with up to 40 % of individuals not having access to drinking water in their households and 10% not having access to electricity. But the Navajo Nation has earned no assistance from the federal government amid the epidemic. Although indigenous populations and traditions differ significantly in the United States , Canada , Australia, and New Zealand, when it comes to health issues and access to medical care, they face common difficulties. In these four nations, about 10 million indigenous people, descendants of the initial settlers of their countries, have higher rates of chronic health conditions that make them more vulnerable to serious cases of COVID-19.
