VIRUS OUTBREAK-NEVADA TRIBES

LAS VEGAS — Since the coronavirus prompted widespread casino and business closures in Nevada in March, the Moapa Band of Paiutes has prioritized protecting tribe members, particularly elders. For residents of the Moapa River Indian Reservation northeast of Las Vegas, elderly members who are at higher risk of complications from COVID-19 are also the keepers of the Southern Paiute language, Ashly Marie Osborne, tribal council secretary, told the Las Vegas Sun. No positive COVID-19 cases had been reported on the reservation. SENT: 830 words, AP Photos.
