View a recording of the webinar
This webinar is part of the Community Health Leadership Forum, a virtual event series from U.S. News & World Report focused on improving community health and addressing the social determinants of health. The event is also part of The Racial Divide, an ongoing series from U.S. News that takes a deep, unfiltered look at race relations in America and how inequality intersects with health care, education, the criminal justice system, the workplace and more.
Minority communities have been disproportionately impacted by the coronavirus pandemic, and Native Americans are no exception. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, American Indian and Alaska Native people are 5.3 times more likely than white people to be hospitalized due to COVID-19. Yet the picture is not entirely bleak. Though it’s often missing from the headlines, many Native American communities across the country have been mobilizing to fight the virus, often with success.
In this webinar, get an in-depth understanding of why American Indians are particularly vulnerable to the pandemic and the strategies tribal leaders are implementing to protect their communities. Hear from Navajo Nation President Jonathan Nez; Stacy A. Bohlen, NIHB Chief Executive Officer and member of the Sault Ste. Marie Tribe of Chippewa Indians; and Kevin DuPuis, Chairman of the Fond du Lac Band of Lake Superior Chippewa.

Please join the FEMA Region II National Preparedness Division for a webinar on face mask guidance and specific considerations for people with disabilities.
The CDC recommends wearing a face mask as an important way to slow the spread of COVID-19. There are many masks to choose from and Duke University has recently developed a low-cost technique for the measurement of face mask efficacy for filtering droplets emitted during speech. This webinar will describe the set-up of this technique, preliminary results from a range of commonly available face mask types, and the potential of this technology as a demonstration and testing method for the community. This webinar will discuss when to wear a face mask, reasons why a person with a disability might not be able to wear a face mask, and the legal rights a person has under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). The webinar is not intended to be legal advice but rather general guidance.

The pandemic has created additional challenges for many school-aged American Indian and Alaska Native children and their families, especially those at risk of child abuse and neglect. Hardships such as social isolation, unemployment, reduced access to support services, and adjustments to a hybrid or virtual school environment have increased stress in many families already challenged before the pandemic.
In this webinar, presenters from the National Indian Education Association (NIEA) and the National Indian Child Welfare Association (NICWA) will provide information on the increased stressors for at-risk families. We will discuss how COVID-19 interacts with risk factors for child abuse and neglect, protective factors and other resources to help reduce risk during a pandemic, and examples of promising practices that schools and child welfare agencies are using.
