Episode Notes

As COVID ravages the American plains, the Cherokee nation stands alone – an example of how government might work to contain the virus. The tribe long ago gave up waiting for the federal government to come through on its promise of fully-funded health care, and invested in state-of-the-art healthcare infrastructure, just in time.

Guest: Chuck Hoskin, Jr. is the Principal Chief of the Cherokee Nation.
