\n In December 2020\, NCAI President Fawn Sharp created the COVID-19 Response and Recovery Task Force (Task Force) to addre ss: (1) tribal COVID-19 relief needs\; (2) tribal COVID-19 recovery needs\; and (3) the chronic conditions that created the public health and economic circumstances making Tribal Nations and citizens vulnerable to this crisis . This Task Force is chaired by Chairman Larry Wright Jr. of the Ponca Trib e of Nebraska.
\n\n
\n It is important that the
Task Force and its members hear from all tribal nations on how COVID-19 has
impacted their communities and the needs that tribal leaders have to respo
nd and recover from the COVID-19 pandemic and we have scheduled this region
