DESCRIPTION:Indigenous Peoples’ Day recognizes our relatives’ resilience and strength\, our significant influence made on every aspect of American society.

Throughout the course of the COVID pandemic\, we have relied on their expertise to guide us to ensure for the overall safety\, health\, and wellness for our members\, staff\, and event attendees. As the impacts of COVID have evolved\, we have continued to assess our protocols to ensure that they remain reflective of the current status of the pandemic. Today\, we are announcing the following updates to the USET sponsored meeting COVID protocols: \nUSET/USET SPF Sponsored Meetings \n\nUp to date* vaccinated attendees will not be required to mask and can fully engage without restrictions. Vaccinated attendees will provide proof of up-to-date status via self-attestation. Daily testing is strongly encouraged.\nUnvaccinated attendees\, or attendees not up to date\, will be allowed to attend\, but will be required to:\n\n\nWear a KN-95 or N-95 mask\, or\nTest negative within 24 hours of the event AND also test negative daily\, if the meeting is for extended days\n\nAs part of our public heath authority responsibilities\, we will continue to provide education\, offer PPE\, rapid tests\, and continue to strongly encourage best practices. Additionally\, for USET/USET SPF meetings hosted by member Tribal Nations\, we will continue to comply with the COVID protocols that each set for their respective nation. While these protocols have changed to better reflect the current state of the pandemic\, updated booster shots\, and availability of treatments options\, the USET TEC strongly recommends ongoing caution due to the health disparities that exist across Indian Country. \n*Please note that up-to-date means that the primary series has been received and any current boosters (if eligible and/or available) have been administered. \n
