Abstract

COVID-19 has had a devastating impact on Native American communities and has magnified existing health and economic disparities. Indigenous youth are already at high risk for adverse outcomes. During the pandemic, IMAGEN supported indigenous girls through micro grants to groups, women and other organizations that directly work with Native American girls.
