NDN realizes that Native Nations and Indigenous communities will experience unique impacts and challenges with the COVID-19 crisis, in no small part due to the reality and history of social, economic and political disenfranchisement of our people. While our elected Tribal officials navigate the crisis and lead their respective communities, NDN is doing our part to coordinate resources and offer our assistance during these unprecedented times. We are grateful to collaborate with Black Diamond to expand and deepen our impact at this time. In addition to supporting Tribes, First Nations, and Indig- enous organizations, we have also committed to supporting Indigenous artists and entrepreneurs throughout the pandemic, many of whom recreate and carry on their traditional sports and activities. What has been apparent with all of our COVID-19 grantees, is that relationship to land is paramount in getting through not just this moment, but in surviving and thriving as Indigenous Peoples. This grant is designed to not just be a response to a crisis but a way to prepare for growth, regeneration, and the continued protection of our home- lands, cultures, and traditions.”
