Abstract
This essay assesses the roles of the federal government and its relationship with Tribal Regions and states alike. Additionally, how COVID-19 affected states and localities and how different Presidential Administrations handled and responded to the pandemic while being compared with the state of South Dakota. Assessing whether or not the federal government overstepped reveals the preparedness of states. Certain states handled COVID-19-related issues better than others, and this essay addresses how Tribal Regions in states provided Governors with extreme complexities. Finally, this essay delves into the rights and responsibilities of the federal government and the state pertaining to American Indian Reservations, and how going forward, each group can enhance the resources, infrastructure, and disparities among the group. Federalism was heavily tested through COVID-19, and this essay addresses how federalism is truly the most productive way to handle emergency situations and effectively help most American citizens.
