It reported its first two cases on March 17 and the number of cases has continued to rise. Up to 40% of people living in the nation do not have access to running water in their homes and 10% do not have electricity.

At the time, the Choctaw people were among the 60,000 Native Americans that had been recently dislocated from their ancestral homes. Despite their limited means, the Choctaw nation decided to help, and sent over funds that were used to purchase food, blanks and feed for livestock.<\/p>\n<p>The Irish people never forgot this act of generosity. In 2017, a sculpture of nine eagles feathers called Kindred Spirits was unveiled in Bailick Park in Midlton, County Cork, Ireland. The following year, Irish Prime Minister Leo Varadkar announced a scholarship program for Choctaw youth, calling the relationship between the two communities \u201ca sacred bond\u2026which has joined our peoples together for all time.\u201d He added, \u201cyour act of kindness has never been, and never will be, forgotten in Ireland.\u201d<a name=\"homeless\"><\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"bdaia-separator se-single\" style=\"margin-top:30px !important;margin-bottom:30px !important;\"><\/div>\n<h1>Homeless in Border Town Getting By, Livin\u2019<\/h1>\n<p><em><span style=\"font-size: small;\">By <a href=\"https:\/\/navajotimes.com\/author\/dquintero\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Donovan Quintero<\/a><strong>, <\/strong>Navajo Times<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_17414\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-17414\" style=\"width: 850px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-17414\" src=\"https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Homeless.jpg\" alt=\"homeless at Window Rock, Arizona\" width=\"850\" height=\"425\" srcset=\"https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Homeless.jpg 850w, https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Homeless-600x300.jpg 600w, https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Homeless-300x150.jpg 300w, https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Homeless-768x384.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 850px) 100vw, 850px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-17414\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span style=\"font-size: small;\">Window Rock, Arizona, the capital of the Navajo Nation, lies close to Monument Valley, Canyon de Chelly and Four Corners.<\/span> Photo courtesy Navajo Times.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>She didn\u2019t hesitate to give what she could give. Shylah Pettigrew knows all too well what it feels like to be hungry and thirsty. Her years of living on the streets, as well as the teachings of her mother, taught her to be compassionate, she said. \u201cYou can\u2019t pass somebody by without offering,\u201d she said. The Lupton, Arizona, native saw her cousin and several other people sitting outside where she was attending a birthday party. The people, whom the city of Gallup categorizes as transients, or homeless, sat on the concrete bench enjoying the warm Saturday afternoon sunlight in downtown Gallup.<\/p>\n<p>Pettigrew brought out plates of food and some water to the people she refers to as her \u201cstreet family.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Her cousin, Shawn Arthur, said he was thankful for the food.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen you give somebody a soda or a sandwich, you can see the joy in (his or her) eyes,\u201d Arthur said, who is also from Lupton.<\/p>\n<h3>Banned From Home<\/h3>\n<p>Arthur said his family told him he could not go home until the coronavirus pandemic was over. He thought they were joking around until he tried going home one day, he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI tried going back,\u201d he said. \u201cThey told me, \u2018Nope, you stay in Gallup.\u2019 They said, \u2018You stay there until this thing is over with.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey dropped off my clothes,\u201d he said, \u201cand I carry it around now.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The street life Pettigrew\u2019s cousin was living is a life she once lived. While the streets offered freedom, they also offer hardships.<\/p>\n<p>Hunger, thirst, a place to sleep, where to use the restroom and maintaining hygiene were some of the hardships.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNobody\u2019s perfect, everybody suffers from an addiction,\u201d Pettigrew said. \u201cNobody\u2019s better than one another.<\/p>\n<p>The heavily tattooed Pettigrew said there was no room for self-pity on the streets.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDon\u2019t wait for somebody to bring it to you,\u201d she said. \u201cI have to get the point through because you gotta\u2019 do it for yourself. You can\u2019t just sit there all day and let the day pass you by without doing something for yourself.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf you don\u2019t have a place, build a little hut,\u201d she said. \u201cYou can\u2019t sit there and make people feel sorry for you.

Since then, the number of confirmed cases in McKinley County skyrocketed from 70 cases, on April 8, to 820 cases, according to the New Mexico Department of Health.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf they had closed NCI down when this all happened, I don\u2019t think this would have spread more,\u201d Ray-Ray said. \u201cThey should have shut it down. These people, they don\u2019t know how to think. They should have shut it down already. (Navajo Nation President) Jonathan Nez, they should have shut it down already. We wouldn\u2019t have had more cases.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey think we\u2019re infected,\u201d Arthur said, referring to his family. \u201cWe can\u2019t go home because they don\u2019t want us home. They think I might expose them to it. Which might be true, but I got tested already. We\u2019re not carrying the influenza, or whatever it\u2019s called.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>Tests, Then Hotel Room Stays<\/h3>\n<p>Arthur showed a piece of paper from the Rehoboth McKinley Christian Hospital that stated he was tested for the virus, which, he said, came back negative.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf you don\u2019t get tested they take you to a hospital and take you a motel and stay there for three days,\u201d he said, as another transient coughed nearby. \u201cFor what, you know?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Since the outbreak, 130 people, according to Rehoboth McKinley Christian Hospital spokesperson Ina Burmeister, were currently being housed at one of the hotels in Gallup.<\/p>\n<p>Both RMCH and Gallup Indian Medical Center were testing the homeless population and then sending them to a hotel room where they waited for test results.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey stay there until cleared,\u201d Burmeister said on Tuesday.<\/p>\n<p>Neither hospital could force people to stay in the hotels, she added, but most of the people they tested complied and agreed to stay at the hotels and wait for their results.<\/p>\n<p>Capt. Erin Toadlena-Pablo with the Gallup Police said the department\u2019s public service officers only responded to complaints called in by the public.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are not looking for people to be tested,\u201d she said on Tuesday. \u201cNothing has changed as far as our standard operation of procedures.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>Would Hurt Lose One<\/h3>\n<p>Pettigrew spoke with her cousin and the other people as they ate the food she gave them.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI met some of these guys out here drinking,\u201d she said. \u201cIt would hurt to see one of these guys gone.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou\u2019ve been around them for a couple of years,\u201d she said. \u201cNobody has a place to get something to eat.\u00a0There\u2019s really nowhere to turn and it bugs me, you know? That people are quick to judge, to see somebody who\u2019s gonna sit right here.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s self-morals, self-respect, you know? It\u2019s just who I am. Just to see the reaction on people\u2019s face when you offer them to get them something to eat regardless of this disease that\u2019s going around. It\u2019s just taking care of one another. Just to survive,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>Arthur and Ray-Ray finished their sandwiches and thanked Pettigrew. It was time to head back to their camp, they said, the location of which they wouldn\u2019t divulge.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe need supplies out here, man,\u201d Arthur said. \u201cOpen the public restrooms back open too.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A Native American community severely impacted by the COVID-19 outbreak has received an outpour of donations from Irish people, who are returning a historic favor from 173 years ago.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":17411,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[240],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-17416","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-tips-fun-stuff"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.9 -
