COVID-19 Response

The purpose of the project is to protect the tribal members and tribal first responders through the provision of personal protective equipment (PPE). Additional PPE and disinfecting supplies will increase protection from the spread of COVID.

The ultimate purpose of our project is to create continued awareness of appropriate Covid-19 precautions to lessen the spread of the virus to the tribal community at Morongo and the public now that the museum will be open once again.

This project will enable our organization to utilize funding to support COVID-19 recovery through creation of culturally relevant, tribal-community based public awareness, and safety programs.

The proposed project will enable the Tribe to set up a COVID-19 vaccine appointment help center for tribal members with limited computer knowledge, or no access to the internet. It will leverage an existing tribal library, resulting in an increase in vaccine access.

The project will deliver messaging and mental health supports to vulnerable community members by trusted Tribal Culture Bearers to increase their knowledge of how to protect themselves from COVID-19 infection. It leverages technology and our existing cultural arts program to reach people living remotely and retain community connections safely.

This project will support our vulnerable community to create COVID safe activities including outdoor dining, outdoor play spaces, and outdoor visitation through physical distancing. We are proposing to purchase pop-up canopy/tents for our Tribal community who are Slater Fire Victims. Many of these families are now living in travel trailers.

This project will create a new program that is focused on tribal outreach focused on health communication and education. This project will increase our Miwumati Healing Center's capacity to provide PPE and information on behavior modification to reduce the spread of Covid-19.

This project will enable our Tribe to provide resources and support to engage our Tribal youth and families through COVID-19 safety-adapted activities, culturally relevant outreach materials and activities that promote physical, emotional, mental and spiritual wellness.

This project will enable our organization to create a culturally based, print and online outreach campaign that will continue to educate our vulnerable community members on how to protect themselves from COVID-19 while protecting our tribal cultural program's staff and tribal participants.
