There are many stories about individuals coming together during this global health crisis to make sure their neighbors and community members stay protected. This narrative is especially real in the rural West and throughout tribal communities, where getting access to basic essentials is more challenging. KZMU host Christy Williams Dunton recently spoke with Ute Mountain Ute tribal member Regina Lopez Whiteskunk about local adaptability in the face of a global pandemic. And later, we talk with the Moab Sun News about their recent profile of Bluff Area Mutual Aid.
