American Indian women, because of racism and lack of access, are 2 to 3 times more likely to die in childbirth as the rest of the population.

That is a shame. I watched a documentary in regards to conditions Native Americans encountered in reservation living. There were many alcoholics. There were few places providing employment. They often have a bleak futures, but yet, many accept that fate. I was extremely appalled as I watched the documentary. There can be a lot of darkness on the reservations.
The irony is they gave us tobacco, and we gave them alcohol. Those gifts cursed us.

Don't forget the special gift of smallpox we gave them. Plus the arid lands far from their ancestral homes.
