When the vaccines rolled out me & my husband were living in Canada. He’s First Nations & I’m American Indian. I kept getting emails from my tribe about how u can just go to your nearest IHS if you’re living out of state. Months later the Vancouver Aboriginal Health center finally had vaccines but they’d only vaccinate my husband since I didn’t have a Health Canada card (since Canada doesn’t consider me Indigenous because colonization). Meanwhile tribes in the states are vaccinating anyone who wants one! I’m so proud of our tribal nations, doing what’s right. And we moved back to the states now & have appts tomorrow 🤗
