Dear Tribal Council
As you all know we have been hit very hard this year due to Covid-19 also known as Coronavirus. With that being said a lot has happened not only has the Health of others been effected tremendously around the world and within our communities. I know that not only has this been a Health Crisis but it has been a Financial Crisis as well. I know I can only speak for myself but I know others have been just as impacted and have felt effects from Covid-19. It is my understanding that a lot of people are still left without Employment or Not Receiving Unemployment or waiting to receive it. I know that many are left with Bills that are just stacking as we wait to go back to being Employed. Others running down there Savings or Loans just to make it by. We shouldn’t be Discriminative on who Receives it or who doesn’t. It’s to give the Aid & Relief to those affected by Covid-19. How do we show Aid & Relief if we just spend it on Projects or other Miscellaneous things we may be able to do with such money. Tell me how that’s showing Aid & Relief. So what I’m asking is that we Distribute this money in a way that it helps our Membership get back to where they need to be as a whole because a lot of us need this. But a lot of us don’t want to speak up.
So here I am Speaking Up and asking you to take a Stand with me and Let Our Voice Be Heard. Because we are The People. The Nuwu.

I am currently drafting a formal letter to the Tribal Council to request a transparent breakdown of the CARES Act fund allocation to date. Several members have contacted me regarding the lack of financial relief distribution and I will be presenting these concerns during the next council meeting.
June 15, 2020
The petition reached a meaningful threshold that demands the Tribal Council acknowledge our request for direct financial distribution. I am currently drafting a formal letter to accompany these signatures for official submission at the upcoming council meeting.

Yes, this is a very good thing to do for our tribal members, and will help us out a lot with our finances. I do not live on the Rez, but am proud to be Kaibab Paiute Elder. Thank you a lot for your support.
I would like to receive this payment from my tribe I do not live on the reservation right now I was in the process of trying to move back but there are no houses available right now, I have bills and I work but part time I recently got this job when the COVID 19 hit I had just got a front desk job and got laid off I had just finished my 1 week training and all our reservations dropped so there was no work. I’m glad I was able to find work after about 2 months and now I put myself at risk going to work with the public. Would be nice to get some assistance with my bills and other things.
If there's anything else you need feel free to email me.
I would like to sign the petition, i will be down there but i n my daughter and granddaughter will be in quarantine for w wee6
Signing this petition to support our community as many of tribal members could benefit from the COVID relief funding.
The funding is because of the covid-19 matter, therefore Tribal members should receive some type of compensation.
Pay tribal workers equally, pay tribal members equally, including percap.
