US: Native Americans die younger, CDC study shows. They say it’s proof of ‘ongoing systemic harm.’ (Includes video)
USA Today – November 23, 2021
A recent study confirmed Native Americans have lower life expectancies compared to other racial groups. For years, American Indian and Alaska Native people have been misclassified in death records, leading to significant underestimation of death rates and life expectancy. A product of historical traumas, including genocide, colonization and forced removal and assimilation by the U.S. government, the disparities are a reality that echo throughout Indian Country.
