COVID-19 Coloring Book For Tribal Communities
COVID-19 has disproportionately impacted New Mexico Native Americans–34% of positive cases in NM are from Native Americans. This lead the New Mexico Indian Affairs Department and New Mexico Human Services Department to team up with “Navajo Nation, LC 16 – Pueblos of Cochiti, Jemez, Kewa, Sandia, San Felipe, Santa Ana, Zia and LC 18 – Eight Northern Pueblos of Nambe, Ohkay Owingeh, Picuris, Pojoaque, San Ildefonso, Santa Clara, Taos, Tesuque” in order to make coloring books about the virus and pandemic for distribution to each tribal community. Without Reservations daily cartoonist Ricardo Caté is the artist for the coloring books, helping to use humor to discuss serious issues.
