CGTN traveled to the Cheyenne River Sioux Native American reservation in South Dakota where tribal authorities are battling the coronavirus.

Native Americans have been hit hard by Covid-19. They’ve been twice as likely to die of the virus compared to white Americans.

The virus has triggered a cultural crisis, targeting some of the last speakers of the Native American languages – the elders.

But the reservation is fighting back to save their languages and keep people safe.

They're also vaccinating people at a quicker pace than the rest of the United States.
