An alarming statistic. 🥺🕊️ A new study from Boston University School of Public Health reveals a major discrepancy in CDC health data for American Indians and Alaska Natives, caused by “widespread racial misclassification.” Indigenous peoples already face the lowest life expectancy of any racial or ethnic group, but the reality may be even worse, hidden beneath flawed and outdated identity classifications. Accurate Indigenous data remains a serious issue across Turtle Island, preventing our vulnerable communities from being allocated the resources they need. How would you fix this? And share your thoughts on the Indigenous health crisis in the comments. 💭⤵️ (via latimes) #NativeAmerican #NativeAlaskan #LifeExpectancy #PublicHealth
