I’m confused by the people who equate “Indigenous” with “reservations.” I don’t know if the study is specifically saying “indigenous people from reservations,” but there are millions of indigenous people living normal everyday, modern lives in major cities in the US.

I’m a bit surprised by the amount of people who deny that there is a racial prejudice going on. It’s subtle, like when your doctor immediately denies your blatant pain, but those tiny things add up, and it becomes generational, where indigenous people don’t trust their doctors. I’m sure it’s way more factors obviously, but it is definitely one.

I don’t know if I interpreted your comment wrong but what do you mean by physical distance. Like, indigenous people are very common throughout cities and all over the world, they usually just fall under the latino community.

The prison system itself is a shit show. Prison should be seen as a punishment, but reformation should be a top priority. There are people who genuinely where fucked by the system and led terrible lives. If you know anything about repeat offenders, it happens because prisoners aren’t given any guidance after jail. It’s the institution’s fault. Involuntary institutionalization was known to be abusive and I’m sure should it be reinstated, it would need to be HEAVILY monitored.
