The COVID-GEA Project honors the ancestral stewards of the Indigenous lands included in our study areas in Alaska and Nenets Region. Among these stewards are the Eklutna Dena'ina, the K’enaht’ana, the Iñupiat, and the N’eney N’enet’s’ (Nenets). We acknowledge and respect their knowledge and wisdom.

The George Washington University resides on the traditional and ancestral homelands of the Piscataway and Anacostan peoples, who have served as stewards of the region for generations.
