PROPAGANDA FOR MORE MONEY
it's funny how quick the money is available for big corporation and war. When desperate citizen need money/government support we have to wait for the tax money we paid in. 😡
i’m Part Indian..Everyone lives for free on the tribe! everyone is either drunk or on drugs or there child molesters or sexual deviants & thieves..drug addicts..They get free land free housing free utilities free food PLUS a free paycheck everymonth! And let’s not forget ALL that extra income for each child they have!! The tribes have more money than god! They choose to be sovereign! if they can’t take care of there tribal members how is that our problem? They can CERTAINLY AFFORD IT!!!! YES in AZ! Add up the net worth of just 1 of there casinos!! It’s about hiding there people from law on tribal land.. That’s all… I’ve seen it
very sad to watch
We stand with our Sovereign Nation. How can we help you right now? ♥️Upstate California
This makes me so sad. Years ago they were nearly wiped out from hanta virus. They said in China in they have the hanta virus too which is very much like covid 19. Please help the navajo and native Americans. They always suffer the worst. I love my navajo family and spent time there when I was 13. I am tsalgi ancestry but was so welcome by them. May the great spirit look over the navajo and all the tribes.
The first People are always the last People to receive help.
GOD BLESS YOU DOCTOR. A REAL AMERICAN❤💋🌹🙏
Tru.p hope your watching what you did. Blood on your hands
Praying for my Indian Brothers and Sisters
It is so inmoral! So inhuman! To leave the Navajo people with their very own limited resources at the mercy of the virus. Here we are , by the president own words, sending supplies and other articles of Necessity to foreign nations, yet we forsake our own. It is our moral obligation to take care of our own first, than we can help the world. I wander if some of us even know about the Navajo people's existence, or even knowledge them. We are one nation under God! No one should be left out under any circumstances to die, to suffer this dreadful disease, specially the Navajo people. We owe them that much. They are the ones president Trump should call for liberation, and rightly so. The indigenous people are the real ones suffering oppression, and indifference from our governments. It is time to do right to the original owners of this land regardless of past treatise. Out of an open conscious, and open heart, the Navajo should enjoy the fruit of the land that we so abundantly enjoy. There should be no poverty in their camps, education, and all resources should be available to them, is the very least we could do. It is ashamed, and an offense to this great nation to have the Navajo people leave in deplorable conditions, and with no medical assistance, while we assist the world. To see the Navajo attending their covi patients from a van is shamefully. The virus is ferocious, to combat it, you will need all the emunition necessary
Until there’s a vaccine, we must do this: https://youtu.be/AAc_cV19FOA
WOW, I did not know running water was an issue on the reservations. WOW This was very sad to watch.
😢😢😢😢😢😢

Are these the Five Dollar Indians who bought their way onto the Dawes Rolls? Still winning stupid prizes at stupid games? Casino money not enough? How terrible.
Is there a place where we can send money to you, to help an bypass the govt?
Govt's have Never treated fairly with all the Native People. I don't have much, but I'm willing to give it to help.
Change the healthcare system, now is the time!
😢
In 2011, as a Registered Nurse, I worked on the Navajo Reservation. It is very difficult at the best of times to get much-needed health care with appropriate supplies for these people. To treat those that live on the outlying regions of the reservation requires creativity and the use of unconventional resources. This is heartbreaking!!
?????? OMG
So , the Nation gets the government shaft again. 300 years and nothing has changed
We are all Americans one nation
We all bleed red
Help please
So basically they have a lot of natural sickness always and therefore are treating them all like covid which is putting stress on their medical system? Shits not even real look into it
Colonization and racism caused this
I’m not a doctor but heard lots of people successfully using Hydroxyzin chloroquine. It is cheap. Just take it when first sign. Forget about the politics.
These were their lands and they cant even get help? Bs🤬
So sad America where you at??????
PPE manufacturers are negligently selling masks designed for woodshop workers that are dangerously defective when used in a pandemic because the masks are causing the infection of the unwitting public and killing thousands of COVID 19 patients by increasing the severity of their illness. They sell filter masks with unfiltered exhaust valves to hospitals and the public, causing COVID victims to unknowingly spread virus without proper instruction or warning to add another filter mask on top of the exhaust valve. They also fail to warn their customers with explicit instructions disclosing that the masks without valves may cause the COVID victim to re-breathe virus from the mask to compound the viral load in their lungs, causing more severe and even lethal acceleration of the disease. This is a classic case of a defective product tort premised on the lack of proper instruction and negligently omitted hazard warnings that must give fair notice of possible severe disease and death if the masks are used as intended on patients known to be ill or in high exposure jobs where they are likely to become infected. We must establish OSHA standards for the PPE that must be worn to reduce the risk of COVID and flu transmission in multiple typical industries so employers have liability limits if they comply and everyone else can know their PPE will keep them AND others safe. The solution is for PPE manufacturers to sell us gloves infused with disinfectant and respirators that filter the exhausted breath separately from the air intake. The N95 with an exhaust valve must be augmented to exhaust the contaminated breath into a secondary filter “pillow” attached to the outside of the exhaust valve to capture the virus laden spittle and airborne virus away from the inhalation portion of the mask. In the short term, you could add a surgical mask or flat N95 mask on top of your N95 valve to limit virus transmission. Full face and half face respirators should have a new type of P100 filter developed that fits on the exhaust valve seat and cleans exhausted breath of virus droplets and particles. I’m not a medical professional so consult your respiratory therapist regarding the use of masks when infected or if you’re in a high exposure job. Please demand that all manufacturers who produce HEPA filter masks and cartridges and/or respirators retrofit their respirator exhaust valves so their masks don’t allow virus transmission. The corporate executives at 3M and Honeywell should be put on notice that we don’t appreciate their Typhoid Mary sales tactics that causes thousands to die a horrible lonely death drowning in lung fluid or suffering strokes, embolisms and/or kidney failure.
At least one Hispanic race IS part Native American. Here's a hint: it's the same one that has taken over the MAJORITY of medical work in this country– as they have taken up the majority of most OTHER forms as well.
