 American Indian communities in the United States have improbably survived centuries of dispossession, subjugation, endemic poverty, and coercive assimilation. The latest threat to their “survivance” is the COVID-19 epidemic. In this Virtual Radcliffe program, two Indigenous professors of medicine will consider the implications of the pandemic for lives and livelihoods in contemporary American Indian communities.

 Speakers:

- **Nicole Redvers (Dene, member of the Deninu K’ue First Nation Band), assistant professor in the Indians into Medicine program and in the Department of Family & Community Medicine, School of Medicine & Health Sciences, University of North Dakota
- **Donald Warne (Oglala Lakota), associate dean of diversity, equity and inclusion, director of the Indians Into Medicine program, and professor, Department of Family & Community Medicine, School of Medicine & Health Sciences, University of North Dakota; senior policy advisor, Great Plains Tribal Chairmen’s Health Board

 Moderator:

- **Joseph P. Gone (*Aaniiih*-Gros Ventre tribal nation of Montana**)**, professor of anthropology, Harvard Faculty of Arts and Sciences, professor of global health and social medicine, Harvard Medical School, and faculty director, Harvard University Native American Program

 An audience Q and A will follow the presentation.
