Walker River Paiute Tribe: Building Back from the Pandemic tells the story of the Walker River Paiute Tribe from Shurz, Nevada, and its fight against the Covid-19 pandemic. When the country shut down almost three years ago to shelter from the spreading disease, the tribe had to make some difficult decisions to protect its citizens. With a population of several hundred and nestled between the mountains and the high desert of rural Nevada, the natural isolation offered some protection but quickly proved a challenge as well. This short documentary from the Rural Assembly portrays how the tribe’s authorities and its regular citizens navigated these dangerous and confusing days. From emergency protocols, a physical shutdown of the reservation, food deliveries for elders, and health screenings, to robust food sovereignty and vaccination programs. While making their way through an unprecedented crisis, the Walker River Paiute community managed to use many resources, old and new, but one that stood out was the Tribe’s sovereignty. By being able to self-govern and set the course, the Tribe emerged successful. Learn more: https://ruralassembly.org/everywhere-... Subscribe: https://www.ruralassembly.org/newslet...
