This International Center for MultiGenerational Legacies of Trauma’s webinar takes place on Indigenous Peoples’ Day in the United States — a federal holiday to honor the cultures and histories of the Native American people. Today’s webinar will focus on the multigenerational impacts of COVID on Indigenous Communities across the United States. Following a background presentation, we bring together members of two indigenous tribes to reflect on their experiences and lessons learned during and after COVID-19, and the tribal values and resources their communities drew upon to live through the pandemic, survive and strengthen both their communities and relationships, and thrive.
