I've found some websites dealing with health issues among Native Americans--particularly the prevalence of diabetes. http://www.oregonlive.com/health/index.ssf..._americans.html The links below are on the serc.carleton.edu website: http://serc.carleton.edu/research_educatio...umanhealth.html http://www.tribalconnections.org/ http://americanindianhealth.nlm.nih.gov/ I wish this was more recent but the title is Diabetes in American Indians of Washington, Oregon, and Idaho. http://care.diabetesjournals.org/content/12/4/282.full.pdf You'll find more recent information here: http://www.google.com/#hl=en&safe=active&o...iw=1280&bih=651

The Diabetes rate is extremely high in Mexico, whose population is mostly Native American.. might be because of genes, or might be an emotional thing too.. remember hearing that diabetes is about wanting to hold on to the past, to living in the sweetness that isn't anymore, and that the village with the highest diabetes rate in Mexico is one which was moved from a site flooded by a lake. Every year there's a pageant in remembrance of the old town, and people live in regret.. that actually applies to the way NA culture is plowed under, and the high ambient level of oppression. |
