The substantial increases among Native Americans during COVID squished this graph so much that a 53% increase in the middle aged Native American death rate from 1999 through 2019 doesn't look like much. I have been through a lot of mortality data and the middle aged Native American COVID death rate increases are the strongest of all of them. For general descriptions, I will do the young first. They essentially held close to the same death rate for this one year short of a quarter of a century. They are rare because their death rate did not go down during that time period, especially in an industrialized society. Their COVID increase actually waited until the third year to raise their total death rate, that was not that bad. Now the middle aged. To let you know just how bad things have been for the middle aged Native Americans, I will hit you with a few numbers. This graph starts with a middle aged death rate of 373.5, which was about a sixth higher than the same measure at 323 for same age non-Hispanic Whites. That increases to 571 while our non-Hispanics joined in increasing, theirs went up to 400.1. Prior to COVID our middle aged Native Americans death rate increased by 197.5 deaths per 100,000 while these Whites increased by 77.1, a little over a third as much as the Native Americans. Then COVID hit. I can't think of words that say more than the graph. That top dot represents a death rate of 936.9. Having had a Native American grand-mother, and growing up in western Oklahoma on the Washata, a Native American named, river and with pure Native American friends, it is hard for me to do this. But to finish up with the bottom line. While it looks good, I keep remembering that one reason it does is that their increased middle aged death rates helped make the elderly line look better by not letting a lot of the people who should have died at the older ages did not live long enough to be here. On to the other graph.
Here I make the kinds of comparisons I think we should think about on this annual Native American day. Let's look at these lines from elderly to young. The Native American elderly death rate regularly runs a good 20% lower than non-Hispanic Whites. This low death rate has a good and bad cause. The good one is Medicare, the most universal and affordable health care in the United States. My feeling is that this keeping up with the declining rates experienced by the non-Hispanic Whites is in part due to their living through higher death rates at earlier ages so there is a survival of the fittest effect showing up among Native Americans. Now to the middle aged. Their exception to constantly increasing is only in the last two years when vaccine brought the COVID death rates down. Alcohol abuse plays a major role in Native American deaths rates. Here is my theory why: Alcohol was introduced to Native Americans by whites who used it as a tool to fuck over the Native Americans in a way that fit all the definitions of fuck. Drunk women were raped and robed. Drunk men were robed in embarrassing ways. But when the drunk and exploited experience was over and the exploiting rapist gone, everyone in the hung-over community had misbehaved. Unlike white drunks, none of the Native Americans the sobering up Native Americans around them had stayed sober and as a result none of them were in shape to punish the ones who had done bad things while drunk. The result: Getting drunk became their ultimate excuse. Next the young, their percent starts around 150 percent of the whites and consistently increased to around 200 percent at in 2023. One major cause has been car wrecks, many caused by drunk driving. I am going to quit now so I can post this on Native American day.
In the United States, our Native Americans show a major effect of survival of the fittest. There are two graphs here, I think the second shows the most. Be sure to look at those percents. 🧪💡☠️ #Sociology #Population #Native_Americans

#Greenland and #Canada? Too easy....
(So they say)
We took the land from the #Native_Americans and #Mexicans. We bought land from the #French and #Russia.
We get what we want by any means".
It might just be a #smokescreen to divert the attention from the real activities.....
The true owners of the US land are the #Native_Americans.
However, there were some states that used to belong to #Mexico.
Texas, Arizona, California, Nevada, Arizona, Utah, Colorado, New Mexico and Oklahoma.
Also part of Wyoming and Colorado.
So the Gulf of Mexico could be named Mexican America.
The #Native_Americans, like the word says native, are the true owners of this land
That’s why Whites omitted in history massacres committed against the tribes, segregated them to a spot in the country, keep them poor, trafficked their girls…so natives cannot fight back to claim what belongs to them
