The Navajo Nation and other Indigenous Nations across the US now have the highest rate of infection nationwide—threatening the future of their cultures. Thomas Li, who volunteers at the Navajo Nation every year, decided to take initiative and started a fundraiser to send masks to the Navajo Nation. In this episode of Society360 hosted by Anshika Agarwal, hear from Thomas about what inspired him to give back and how it is important to educate ourselves about the history and current realities faced by Indigenous Peoples in America. If you would like to support Thomas's initiative, check out his GoFundMe at https://gf.me/u/x6cvsz.
