- Message from the Tribal Office Regarding COVID-19:
The Tribal Office Staff are monitoring the COVID-19 pandemic. We are in constant communication with government agencies and officials about potential threats, and ways to prevent contamination and spread of the virus. We are following the guidance of IHS and the CDC to remain informed and proactive for the health and well-being of all our tribal citizens.
We ask that tribal citizens visit the IHS and CDC website for information about the virus, prevention measures, and how to properly prepare you and your family for possible shutdowns due to the pandemic. We hope all our citizens and their families remain safe and healthy during this confusing and troublesome time. We will continue to monitor and update the situation as new information is released. - Announcement from Monacan Nation Powwow Committee "At this time, our Annual Powwow is going forward as scheduled. The Committee will evaluate what the health experts advise and will make a decision about whether or not to postpone the powwow at the beginning of May. We hope that everyone stays safe and healthy and abides by the health experts advise."
