The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted us all. For more than a year, people all over the world have had their lives upended by this disease.

More than 29 million cases have been reported in the United States, and more than 100 million have been reported worldwide. The disease has claimed the lives of more than two million people around the globe. More than 43,000 cases and more than 500 deaths have been reported within the Chickasaw Nation boundaries alone.

Please join us in recognizing and honoring the lives we have lost during this tragic time. May we pray and bond together during this event, and serve their memories by living our lives fully.
