COVID-19 Impact on American Indian and Alaska Native Tribes

COVID-19 has amplified health inequities in American Indian communities because of underfunded and under-resourced health systems, limited access to health services, poor infrastructure, and underlying health disparities. These new data maps track the COVID-19 pandemic’s impact across more than 100 Tribal Nations, streamline data collection efforts, and provide visualizations to display the pandemic’s disparate impact in areas not typically monitored by mainstream media sources. The depictions of the Tribal Nations are limited to federally recognized Tribal nations in the continental United States and Alaska Village lands.
