The tribe where I currently work and used to live has taken action. There is a 10PM curfew, a ban of gatherings, and no official travel allowed. If you leave the state or go to three of the more populated cities (because they have cases), you are a required to self isolate for 14 days before returning to work. The community college is online only for the summer. The casino had a very limited reopen with a lot of social distancing rules, but not a whole lot of enthusiasm from workers since most make more on unemployment than working. Basically, opened for the fishing crowd. I would imagine the two main causes are housing and IHS. Let's face it Indian Health Service is not that good and actively a problem under the best of circumstances. A politician who actually believes in government provided health care could go a long ways to proving it by making IHS work. Search for "don't get sick after June" for a documentary on the subject. They did two very credible attempts to kill a couple of family members and misdiagnosing AIDS without waiting for test results didn't help my friends marriage one bit. I do admit to still being a might bit bitter over having to have three operations to fix a botched root canal. The second is housing. Housing is scarce on many reservations which means large family groupings. Now, I understand some visitors from DC think its great that families live together like "the old days", but its not great, or cultural, and it sucks. Overcrowding isn't fun and not having access to the normal (e.g. mortgage from bank) with going through the tribe or a special program is really an issue. A former college president lived in his parents basement until he and his wife could afford to buy a house outright (well, a mobile that they moved). Its gotten better in recent years (better federal program), but large crowded houses get infected fairly fast. The National Guard has been doing mass testing in ND and did do one on the reservation. It looked well organized and they were pushing a lot of people through. I was told later (we had the window blinds to the parking lot closed to avoid any privacy violations) that they had no positives. I do wonder about the statistical differences between reservations and versus the general population. I am not always confident on the reported statistics.
