During the COVID-19 pandemic, WTIP has been speaking with local government officials on a regular basis.

On July 22, the day that Cook County saw its second resident with a diagnosis of the coronavirus, WTIP’s Rhonda Silence checked in with Grand Portage Band of Lake Superior Chippewa Chair Beth Drost. Here’s their conversation. 
 

Rhonda Silence also spoke with Grand Portage Tribal Chair Beth Drost about some social justice issues. See a related interview with Tribal Council member John Morrin here.
