About Facts Not Fear

 “Facts Not Fear” is an information campaign organized by the Native Waters on Arid Lands project’s COVID-19 Working Group.

The purpose of this site is to supply Tribal members and Tribal Extension Experts across Indian Country with accurate information and educational resources about the COVID-19 vaccines. By answering questions and dispelling rumors around the COVID19 vaccines, we are working to equip individuals across Indian Country with the information that they need to make decisions based on facts, not fear.
