US-VIRUS-HEALTH-NAVAJO-ELDERS

Emerson Gorman (L), who is a Navajo elder, poses at his property with his grandchild Nizhoni, wife Beverly and daughter Naiyahnikai near the Navajo Nation town of Steamboat in Arizona on May 23, 2020. - Emerson Gorman knows what it's like to face the destruction of his culture: when he was five-years-old he was among thousands of Navajo children taken from their families and sent to Christian schools that tried to erase their belief systems. Now 66, the traditional healer who lives on the largest Native American reservation in the United States sees it as his duty to pass on his wisdom, at a time when the community elders face an existential threat from the coronavirus pandemic.
