Indian County Today is doing a disservice to WMAT and MBCI

Wmat

Indian County Today is doing a disservice to the White Mountain Apache Tribe (WMAT) and the Mississippi Band of Choctaw Indians (MBCI) by not giving any media attention to these tribes. These are the two most afflicted tribes in the entire nation in terms of cases relative to their population. Each tribe also has a positive test percentage near or above 35%. This is higher percentage than every state in the US.
