Health statistics about Native Americans that include individuals who do not live on tribal lands can be misleading because they do not have the same cultural ties. Why are “cultural ties” important when considering health statistics on Native Americans?
A. Native American culture requires different kinds of traditional medical interventions, which influences their health over their lifetime. B. Because there is no biological basis for racial categories, cultural ties related to race do not have any health consequences. C. Native Americans that live on tribal lands face unique problems associated with poverty and race-related stressors, which will affect how inequality accumulates over their lifetime and, ultimately, their cumulative stress burden. D. There are very rarely quality hospitals near Native American tribal lands, which means these individuals are not able to access quality health care. This ultimately increases infant mortality rates for Native Americans living on or near reservations. E. According to social-drift theory, Native Americans who move away from tribal lands are able to live in safer, healthier environments with fewer stressors. As such, they are healthier than Native Americans who live on tribal lands.
