COVID-19 Mitigation During TLS

The Coalition to Stop Violence Against Native Women (CSVANW) understands that Indigenous peoples have been disproportionately affected by the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. Covid-19 poses a critical health threat to Indigenous peoples and has exacerbated pre-existing inequalities and systemic racism. This has continued to create challenges such as inadequate access to health care. Due to this unfortunate socioeconomic consequence, Indigenous children, peoples with disabilities and elders have been hit particularly hard. According to the Human Rights Council, Indigenous peoples are more likely to die due to the contraction of the Coronavirus.

As Indigenous leaders and advocates it is imperative that we continue to take action and precautions to reduce the transmission of COVID-19 in our communities. Therefore, in order to host a safe environment for our 2024 Tribal Leaders Summit, it is highly recommended to wear a mask during the 2-day event.

Before the Summit

• Testing before attendance
• Packing hand sanitizers (CSVANW will also have PPE available at registration)

During the Summit

• Mandatory mask wearing
• Social distancing
• Hand washing
• (CSVANW will have air purifier equipment in shared spaces)

After the Summit

• Reporting positive COVID-19 results
• Or in close proximity of someone who has tested positive for COVID-19

It is important to remember that Community Care is a shared responsibility.
