This afternoon, President Trump issued an emergency declaration in the wake of the coronavirus (COVID-19) global pandemic. NCAI is currently engaging key Administration officials to ensure that vital federal programs and funding continue to support the needs of Indian Country.

The National Congress of American Indians (NCAI) is receiving a lot of questions from tribal nations and others about the current coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic and requests for help with finding credible, factual information. NCAI has created a webpage featuring links to resources on COVID-19 from known and reliable sources.

NCAI also recommends caution when viewing information on social media unless it comes from trusted sources. Most of the resources on our webpage use the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) webpage to develop their information.
