When the Seattle Indian Health Board requested more personal protective equipment last March, they instead received a box of body bags.
The board had no use for them since they call an ambulance when someone dies at their facility, so public health researcher Abigail Echo-Hawk transformed one of the body bags into a traditional Native ribbon dress.
Here & Now's Tonya Mosley speaks with Echo-Hawk, a registered member of the Pawnee Nation of Oklahoma, about the impact of COVID-19 on Washington state's Indigenous communities.
