American Indian reservations are areas of land that are owned by the Federal Government in which American Indians reside. These reservations may experience overcrowding, segregation, lack of utilities, health problems/ poor nutritional health, a lack of accessable healthcare, alcohol and drug abuse, and covid complications. There are currently 326 American Indian reservations in the U.S.

Community Policing

Social determinants of American Indian Nutritional Health. Current Developments in Nutrition. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2475299122136942

American Indians suffer from significant health disparities, including diabetes, cancer, and heart diseases. There are many risk factors for disease like poverty, federal food programs, boarding schools, historical and childhood trauma. American Indians want improved existing food programs, promotions in childhood nutrition, promotions in food sovereignty, access to traditional foods, epand locally cultivated foods, and to subsidize healthier options. Thesd additions will need to be studied, evaluated, and reported.

Covid Complications and Protocol

Quintero, Luis, Emilia Simeonova, and Randall Akee. 2021. "Pandemic Protocols, Native Nutrition: Grocery Store Access from American Indian Reservations during COVID-19." AEA Papers and Proceedings, 111: 602-06.DOI: 10.1257/pandp.20211117

American Indians have 3.5 times the COVID-19 infection rate and 1.5 times the death rate. Quintero et al. demonstrates how there were unanticipated effects on American Indian bahavior due to social distancing policies. Additionally, it shows how there is a reduction in distance traveled to grocery stores for on-reservation households than off-reservation. There is also an increase in trips to stores for the reservation residents.
