  The subordination of Native Americans through underreporting Covid data

  The article reports that Native Americans have been historically unacknowledged in census data and other demographic studies. The author claims there has been a long suppression of Native American mortality rates and medical reports to systematically deprive them of medical access. According to the author, “American Indians and Alaska Natives are 3.5 times more likely to be diagnosed with COVID-19." This shows us that some of the communities hit hardest by the pandemic are some that are receiving the least amount of support.
