Description
A history of unfulfilled promises
between the Navajo Nation and the U.S. government has helped fuel one of the
highest coronavirus infection rates in the country among Navajo People. The
Navajo Nation imposed extensive lockdown orders, but inadequate infrastructure
and lack of access to basic needs like running water is intensifying the
crisis. Will the virus drive the Navajo People closer to the brink – or will it
spark a rallying cry and finally lead to the relief that’s long past due? CBSN
Originals is our premium documentary series that is sure to challenge your
views on this and a variety of other issues. See our full series library at http://cbsnews.com/cbsnoriginals.
HERE ARE SOME NUMBERS SHOWING THE DEVASTATION OF THE CORONAVIRUS ON THE NAVAJO PEOPLE.

A broken system: The number of
Indigenous people who died from coronavirus may never be known

From medical health privacy laws to
a maze of siloed information systems, the true impact of COVID-19 on American
Indian and Alaska Natives is impossible to calculate.

This story is produced by the
Indigenous Investigative Collective, a project of the Native American
Journalists Association in partnership with High Country News, Indian Country
Today, National Native News and Searchlight New Mexico. It was produced in partnership
with MuckRock with the support of JSK-Big Local News.
In May of 2020, the Navajo Nation
reported one of the highest per-capita COVID-19 infection rates in the United
States. Since that milestone, official data reveal that the Navajo Nation has
been one of the hardest-hit populations since the pandemic began. The Navajo
Nation boasts the largest population of any Indigenous nation in the United
States, and thousands of Navajos live outside the nation, in towns along the
border, cities across the country, and in other parts of the world, making it
difficult to tally the virus’ impacts on Navajo citizens.
It’s made worse by a labyrinthian
system of local, state, federal and tribal data-reporting systems that often do
not communicate with each other or share information. In an effort to come up
with a more reliable fatality count, reporters with the Indigenous
Investigative Collective (IIC) made multiple public-records requests for death
records held by state medical examiners of Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona and
Utah. Those requests focused on the counties on or adjacent to the Navajo
Nation where many Navajo families live. The states rejected those requests,
citing privacy concerns, preventing independent analysis of those records to
determine death rates. Experts also cite pervasive misidentification of race
and ethnicity of victims at critical data collection points, making the true
toll of the pandemic on the Navajo Nation impossible to ever know.
The
Indigenous Investigative Collective has found that those data problems
extend nationwide. As of June 2, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
estimates that 6,585 American Indian and Alaska Natives have died from COVID-19
— the highest rate of any ethnic group in the United States. That estimate
likely falls far short of the actual death toll.
“Even though right now we’re showing
as having some of the highest death rates, it’s a gross undercount,” said
Abigail Echo-Hawk, Pawnee, director of the Urban Indian Health Institute (UIHI)
based in Seattle, Washington, one of 12 nationally recognized tribal
epidemiology centers in the country.
INSERT -- “Even though right now
we’re showing as having some of the highest death rates, it’s a gross
undercount.”
That undercount leaves researchers
and epidemiologists completely in the dark when creating practices and policies
to deal with future pandemics.
WHEN THE CORONAVIRUS HIT the Navajo
Nation, Utah Navajo Health System (UNHS) was at the forefront of providing
testing. The private, not-for-profit corporation is tribally run and provides
services to the Navajo Nation as well as rural Native and non-Native Utah
communities. From the start of the pandemic, the UNHS data team reported its
information to the state of Utah, local Indian Health Service (IHS) units and
the Navajo Nation’s epidemiology center.
“We pretty much tracked anything
that we were doing,” Verlyn Hawks, director of health information systems for
Utah Navajo, said. “The scope of what we could handle is basically what we
did.” At first it was just test results, then deaths and now vaccines. Hawks
said he and his team reached out to neighboring health-care facilities like
Northern Navajo Medical Center in Shiprock, New Mexico, to ask for COVID-19
data from their service area and would provide them with data. From there, he
said, data were reported to the state of Utah and then passed to the CDC.
“But we really don’t have a good way
to know where our numbers are going and what’s happening from there,” Hawks
said, adding that the process for the Indian Health Service was equally opaque.
“There’s no sharing between states.”

On the Navajo Nation, efforts to
track cases, vaccinations and deaths are also complicated by the fact that
community members move freely between health-care facilities, registering at
different hospitals and clinics.
“Patients on the Navajo reservation
tend to be kind of transient, meaning they go to different places for care,”
Utah Navajo’s Chief Executive Officer Michael Jensen said.
Take for example a patient at Utah
Navajo who tests positive for COVID-19, becomes ill, and seeks treatment at
that Utah Navajo health center. But if that patient becomes critically ill,
Utah Navajo would transfer the patient to a nearby hospital, and if that
patient were to die from COVID-19 complications, the hospital they were
transferred to may or may not report the death back to Utah Navajo, where the
patient originally registered. The same is true for vaccines and COVID-19
results.
“Our systems can gather all kinds of
data and run reports every way but sideways,” Jensen said. “But the transient
part of that makes it more challenging, and obviously if somebody passes in an
inpatient facility, we’re not notified unless we follow up with the family or
the doctor calls.”
Accurately tracking Indigenous
COVID-19 patients would involve the entire health system, which is made up of
IHS health facilities, tribally owned facilities, tribal hospitals, urban
Indian health programs, private clinics and other non-IHS health facilities,
like city, county or private hospitals. No agency is consistently or reliably
doing that.
IHS, which collects data from
Indigenous nations that volunteer to share, relies on the CDC’s National Vital
Statistics System, which receives its information from states. “We’re not
[tracking COVID-19 deaths] because we want to avoid any underreporting,” said IHS
Acting Director Elizabeth Fowler, a Comanche citizen and a descendant of the
Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians.
RELATED ARTICLE -- The erasure of
Indigenous people in U.S. COVID-19 data
The CDC, however, is also likely
undercounting. A reliable database for the Urban Indian Health Institute’s
Echo-Hawk is the APM Research Lab, which reported at least 5,477 Indigenous
deaths as of March 2, based on figures from all 50 states and Washington, D.C.
Around the same time, the CDC was reporting 5,462 deaths.
All deaths, regardless of where they
occur, are reported to the state, but the states have refused to release those
details. The Indigenous Investigative Collective requested dates, cause and
location of death, race, ethnicity, age, gender and a specific request for
COVID-related information, including whether or not the infection may have
occurred at a work site. Those requests were rejected by records custodians in
Arizona, New Mexico, Utah and Colorado, citing privacy and protected health
information, obscuring information for COVID-19 deaths in dozens of tribal communities
in those four states combined.
New Mexico, in particular, further
explained the denial of public records, stating “the information contained in
the responsive records consists of protected health information and information
reasonably believed to allow identification of patients.” New Mexico Department
of Health Records Custodian Deniece Griego-Martinez said even with names and
case numbers redacted, patients could still be identified. “Since this
information is identifying on its own and in combination with other publicly
available information, it is not possible to redact the responsive records.”
GAPS IN STATES’ COVID-19 DATA often
begin right after a person has died. The process for determining and recording
the cause of death varies from state to state. In Minnesota, for example, cause
of death is registered by medical certifiers such as physicians, medical
examiners or coroners. If a person dies from COVID-19, the cause of death on
the certificate may say respiratory or heart failure — the reasons for those
failures are not included.
Minnesota funeral director Robert
Gill, who is Sisseton Wahpeton Oyate, said when he sits down to fill out vital
statistics forms with a deceased’s family members, most of the work is straightforward:
legal name, address at the time of death, social security number, next of kin,
parents, children, siblings and details of funeral arrangements. Where it can
get tricky is when he needs to include the person’s race and ethnicity.
“They could say, ‘I'm Swedish,
African, German, Native American, Hawaiian, Puerto Rican all mixed in one,’ so
then I’d ask the family, ‘Well what would you like? What are you, what would
you legally consider yourself?’” Gill said. There’s no limit on how many races
or tribes can be written down, and often everything is included. He also
doesn’t differentiate between individuals who are enrolled in a federally
recognized tribe or are descendants or simply community members.
“I write down what they would consider
their race. Whether it gets recorded as that, I don’t know,” he said. “I send
that into the state and I don’t know what they do with it.”
INSERT -- “I write down what they
would consider their race. Whether it gets recorded as that, I don’t know.”
In Gill’s facility, identifying
American Indian or Alaska Native people is part of the job. But in other parts
of the country where medical examiners or funeral homes have no knowledge of
Indian Country, those individuals can be identified as Hispanic, Asian or any
other incorrect ethnicity because medical workers, funeral home directors or
coroners simply look at the body and make a decision. While no data exists for
death-certificate undercounts of Indigenous people, a 2016 report from the
National Center for Health Statistics concluded that of everyone who
self-identified as American Indian or Alaska Native on the U.S. Census, 48.6
percent were classified as another race on their death certificate.
“There are so many different ways
that these death certificates are improperly categorized for race and
ethnicity,” Echo-Hawk said. “But the number one issue ends up being nobody asks
the family.”
The CDC website states that
“cause-of-death information is not perfect, but it is very useful.” While the
agency estimates that 20 to 30 percent of death certificates have issues with
completeness, the agency adds: “This does not mean they are inaccurate.” The
agency did not respond to requests for comment on this story.
The IHS has tried to correct the
problem and continues to do so, with little success so far. In a 2020 COVID-19
response hearing, the chief medical officer for the IHS, Rear Admiral Michael
Toedt, testified that the agency was working with the CDC to address the issue
of racial misclassification through training. However, Toedt stressed that the
main problem with collecting good, timely data for American Indian and Alaska
Native deaths rested almost entirely on how the death certificate was filled
out.
RELATED ARTICLE -- Why the U.S. is
terrible at collecting Indigenous data
In short, death counts of Indigenous
people, no matter how they died, are woefully inaccurate — and correcting that
is likely impossible without a unified system for tracking health issues in
Native communities, and regulations requiring death certificates to accurately
reflect a person’s Indigenous citizenship, race and ethnicity. Experts who
spoke with the Indigenous Investigative Collective could not give an exact
number for the undercount.
A 2021 Urban Indian Health Institute
report card that grades the quality of collecting and reporting COVID-19 data
for Indigenous people gives most states a C grade or lower. The states were
graded on the inclusion of Native people and statistics on state health
dashboards as well as accurate CDC data for Indigenous people. That
information, Echo-Hawk said, helps leaders make decisions and scientists think
through vaccine allocations, and helps measure success or failure in the health
system.
The omission of data on Native
communities, Echo-Hawk said, is “data genocide,” contributing to the
elimination of Native people in the public eye, and aiding the federal
government in abandoning treaty laws and trust responsibilities. In other
words, no data on Native people means no need for obligations or resources.
INSERT -- “We know that the picture,
the true picture, is actually worse than what the data tells us.”
“We definitely are in a situation
where we are not capturing all of the impacts, and we are not capturing all of
the deaths for American Indians and Alaska Natives. So we know that the
picture, the true picture, is actually worse than what the data tells us,” said
Carolyn Angus-Hornbuckle, who is Mohawk and the chief operating officer and
policy center director of the National Indian Health Board. “That information
is needed because like every other government that’s facing this crisis, our
tribal nations need to have real-time, accurate data so that they can protect their
citizens.”
Meanwhile, infection rates and
deaths in the Navajo Nation are improving, but Utah Navajo Health System CEO
Michael Jensen said their work continues. “We’ve done our own contact tracing
to find out where it started and who those people are interacting with; we’ve
tried to share that publicly — for deceased rates, I think communities should
know what’s going on,” he said.
“I hope everybody would want to
provide the most accurate and true numbers possible.”

Navajo Nation
History - The People
PHOTOGRAPH -- picture of Navajo
people
Anthropologists believe the Navajos
probably arrived in the Southwest between 800 and 1,000 years ago, crossing the
Bering Strait land bridge and traveling south. The Navajo people call
themselves Dine', literally meaning "The People." The Dine' speak
about their arrival on the earth as a part of their story on the creation.
The Navajo are believed to have
learned the rudiments of agriculture after arriving in the Four Corners area.
They became acquainted with domesticated livestock after contact with the
Spanish, taking on shepherding and horsemanship.
After the United States defeated
Mexico in 1846 and gained control of the vast expanse of territory known today
as the Southwest and California, the Navajos encountered a more substantial
enemy. Colonel Kit Carson instituted a scorched earth policy, burning Navajo
fields and homes, and stealing or killing their livestock. After starving the
Navajos into submission, Carson rounded up every Navajo he could find - 8,000
men, women and children - and in the spring of 1864 forced his prisoners to
march some 300 miles to Fort Sumner, New Mexico. Navajos call this "The
Long Walk." Many died along the way, and died during the four long years
of imprisonment. In 1868 after signing a treaty with the U.S., remaining
Navajos were allowed to return to designated lands currently occupied in the
Four Corners area of the U.S.
Navajo Land
PHOTOGRAPH -- white house ruins
The Navajo Nation is the largest
Indian reservation in the United States, comprising about 16 million acres, or
about 25,000 square miles, approximately the size of the state of West
Virginia.
Some of the most photographed
scenery in the United States is on the reservation, notably Monument Valley
near Kayenta, Arizona, and Canyon de Chelly near Chinle, Arizona. The
geological history of the area is so apparent and stunning that it begs close
investigation. Volcanic plugs and cinder cones, uplifted domes of rock that
form mountains, and twisted meandering streams that have carved canyons over
many hundreds of years make the high desert plateau inhabited by the Navajo
people among the most interesting locations to live and work in the United
States.
Average precipitation on the
Reservation ranges from five inches in the lower elevations to 25 inches in the
heights. Some of this is in the form of snow. The entire area is subject to
winter snow and temperatures below freezing; summer temperatures may top 100
degrees with extreme aridity. During the late summer, seasonal torrential rains
render many unpaved roads impassible and flash floods common to the Southwest
US are not uncommon.
Navajo Lifestyle
PHOTOGRAPH -- lake powell
Generally speaking, Navajos do not
live in villages. Their traditions did not dictate this necessity, as is common
with other Native American societies. They have always banded together in small
groups, often near a source of water. Their wide dispersion across the
reservation is due in part to the limited amount of grazing land, and the
limited availability of water.
The traditional Navajo dwelling, the
hogan was a conical or circular structure constructed of logs or stone. The
more modern version is usually six-sided with a smoke hole in the center of the
roof constructed of wood or cement. The doorway typically faces the East to
receive the blessing of the day's first rays of sun.
Traditionally, the Navajos are a
matriarchal society, with descent and inheritance determined through one's
mother. Navajo women have traditionally owned the bulk of resources and
property, such as livestock. In cases of marital separation, women retained the
property and children. In cases of maternal death children were sent to live
with their mother's family. Traditional Navajo have a strong sense of family
allegiance and obligation. Today, Navajos are faced with large unemployment
rates; and "acculturation" to a more nuclear family structure similar
to Anglos in the U.S. is increasingly present. As a culture in transition, the
Navajo people and their traditional lifestyle is under the substantial stress
brought about by rapid change in their society.

Letters: Home-site lease process
helps spread virus
By Navajo Times | Published Jul
23, 2020 | Letters
This is in response to coronavirus
on the Navajo Nation reported by Adam Yamaguchi (“Navajo Nation residents face
coronavirus without running water”). As a Navajo Nation citizen, one issue that
is newsworthy that is never brought to light is the home-site lease process.
Multi-generational Navajo families
live in overcrowded homes, which has attributed to the spread of COVID-19.
In order for a Navajo individual to get a piece of property (one acre) on the
Navajo Nation they need to apply for a home-site lease.
The home-site lease process is
laborious, as well as physically and financially burdensome. The Navajo
applicant has to hire an archaeologist for land clearance, cultural
resources compliance officer, and must find a vacant location and ask for
permission from the Navajo Land Department to live on that site (this is
where it gets difficult).
If that site belonged to a person,
who has been long deceased, rather than re-assign the land to a new tenant
the land department puts the burden on the applicant to locate the deceased
individual’s family and ask permission to live on the site.
More often than not, the deceased
family member denies the request. (It is unknown why the Navajo Nation Land
Department allows this to happen rather than use their authority to re-assign a
vacant property.)
They can apply for a quiet title* through Navajo Nation court. This
process can take over 20 years just to have a hearing. The result is
Navajos give up and choose to live in a multi-generational home. If the
applicant does acquire a home-site lease, the land department does not assist
Navajo families whose neighbors prevent them from building a home and harasses
them.
The Navajo Land Department
gives a lot of power to individuals who object to other Navajos living near
them. When there is discourse, the Navajo Land Department does not step in
to remedy the situation.
Due to the Navajo Land Department’s
silence, Navajos have murdered each other over one acre of land. There is
also the issue of red lining. Banks do not give home loans to Navajos
because they live on trust land. If Navajos want a home, they have to build it
themselves because there are no Navajo-owned businesses that build homes on
the Navajo Nation.
Having a Navajo-owned business in
the nation is difficult, which is why there is no economic growth. (Another
good story — Navajo Nation Economic Development Office does not promote
Navajo-owned business or outside business to come in to the nation to bring
jobs).
There is the Navajo Housing
Authority that has a 40-year waiting list for a home but, once
again, a home-site lease is required to apply for a home. Navajo families
who are middle class do not qualify for a NHA home. Once again, families
give up and just build a shack or buy a mobile home that deteriorates over
time. Navajo Tribal Utility Authority requires a home-site lease to
provide water and electricity.
The lack of a home-site lease is the
foundation to why Navajos live in poverty because without a lease they cannot
build a home to have water and electricity. This is a story that needs to be
told. Navajos live in Third World conditions, not by choice, but by
roadblocks set by our own government.

Quiet title action
Definition
A special legal proceeding to
determine ownership of real property.
A party with a claim of ownership to land can file an action to quiet
title, which serves as a sort of lawsuit against anyone and everyone else who
has a claim to the land. If the
owner prevails in the quiet title action, no further challenges to the title
can be brought.

CBSN ORIGINALS REPORTS ON THE FATE
OF THE NAVAJO NATION IN THE FACE OF THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC
“Reverb | Coronavirus in Navajo
Nation” Available Now Across CBS News’ Digital Properties
May 13, 2020 – As the COVID-19
pandemic continues to impact communities across the country, CBSN debuts its
newest original documentary, “Reverb | Coronavirus in Navajo Nation,” which
brings to light the impact of the virus on the Navajo people, a vulnerable
rural population and one of the hardest hit by the pandemic.
In this episode of “Reverb,” CBSN
Originals’ Adam Yamaguchi reports on the struggle of life on the reservation -
a community already devastated by decades of broken promises made by the U.S. government.
Resources as vital as running water are scarce in the Navajo Nation, which is
also a food desert according to the USDA, and the onslaught of COVID-19 has
added even more pressure. Yamaguchi speaks with Dr. Michelle Tom, who shares
the grim statistic that the Navajo Nation carries the highest per capita rate
of diabetes, hypertension, and metabolic syndrome in the U.S. Additionally, the
risk the virus presents to the elderly makes the population’s survival even
more precarious. Dr. Tom explains, “they're our teachers and our protectors,
our providers of our language and our way of life. So we want to protect them
as much as possible, keep them safe...if we don't have that...who are we as a
people anymore?” The community now finds itself at a critical juncture. Will
this moment bring them even closer to the brink? Or will their voices be heard,
and bring the relief they are owed?
“Reverb” is a CBSN Originals series
featuring CBSN correspondent Adam Yamaguchi, who takes the audience on a
journey exposing the ripple effects of events or trends that the daily news
cycle often doesn’t. He examines issues like the hidden drivers of
deforestation in the Amazon, the disturbing ripple effects the internet has
created in education and society, and more.
The documentary is available now
across all CBS News digital properties including CBSN, CBS News’ 24/7 streaming
network.
CBSN launched its documentary
series, CBSN Originals, in January 2016, adding a new dimension to the network
with immersive reports that take a deep dive into some of the key issues
driving national and global conversations. CBSN has now streamed 58 Originals
on a range of topics including the mass migration from Puerto Rico following
Hurricane Maria, social media’s role in the violence against the Rohingya
minority in Myanmar, gender identity, and the dangerous journey to America
through the Darien Gap, among others.
Catch up on the entire slate of CBSN
Originals: https://cbsn.ws/2T1NRug
