I think the hidden motivation is not Covid19 but their anger about not getting their way in stopping the Keystone XL pipeline as well as being pissed about Gov. Noem's steadfast intent to slam down any pipeline protests that tend towards being unruly or violent.
They are pissed off about everything, including themselves. The way they treat each would make most cringe. Have more than a couple friends that have worked on the reservations, There is no way I could stomach it.
Not a lot of sympathy for them. Tremendous amount of respect for those who have left and are living their life.
