Advertise on podcast: American Indian & Alaska Native Living

Dr. Jacob Bor, SD, Associate Professor, Departments of Global Health and Epidemiology, Boston University School of Public Health and Michael E. Bird, MSW, MPH (Kewa Pueblo), Past President of the American Public Health Association, paint a chilling picture of how Native Americans are dying as early as residents of a third-world country like Bangladesh, rather than having the longevity benefits enjoyed by most of those living in the United States.
