Summary:Equity in health care is a basic human right, yet disparities in health and wellness exist across racial lines. Despite the fact that disparities in Indigenous People's health are particularly dramatic, they are less well understood. This volume focuses on the American Indian, in whom disparities in health are particularly severe. In a disease-specific format, health disparities in the American Indian are identified and discussed, with an emphasis on causes and solutions. Edited by experts in healthcare disparities, one of whom is a member of the Oglala Lakota Tribe, this book focuses attention on the historically overlooked and under appreciated problem of inadequate healthcare for the American Indian and has relevance for Indigenous People's health around the world. Of interest to all concerned with equity and inclusiveness in healthcare, it will be essential reading for physicians, public health workers, academics, and Indigenous People worldwide.
