Lisa Ramirez+FollowNative Americans Are Being Erased in DataJust found out the U.S. has been seriously underestimating how tough things are for Native Americans. A new study says their life expectancy is actually 6.5 years lower than the national average—way worse than what official stats show. Turns out, nearly half of Native deaths are misclassified as “White,” making the real health crisis basically invisible. If we can’t even get the numbers right, how are we supposed to fix the problem? This is more than stats—it’s about being seen and getting the help needed. #NativeAmerican #HealthEquity #RepresentationMatters #Health #BodyHealth10451Share
