why the F would you close a river when you are trying to get people to spread out?

Several tribes have gone complete lockdown going onto the Rez and curfews on the Rez. The way it’s hit some areas on Navajo and other tribes I don’t blame them and hope it helps prevent spread.

I just don't see the logic of locking 6-12 people into one house (which is common on reservations) when they could be outdoors and spread out. I can see keeping people from outside the RES out.

 

Maybe thats what they have done? Can the residents of the RES still go to the river. lakes etc?

I don’t know the details on Black River but that could be the case...closed to non-residents. I agree it doesn’t make sense to not allow folks outside...that’s why golf courses, hiking trails, and other outside recreation activities have mostly been declared essential.
