in Palin And Alaska Native Women on The Washington Independent
"The rate of rape and sexual assault among Indian women is 3.5 times higher than among women of any other racial group in America. In addition, sexual assault victims in Indian country frequently lack access to basic health resources, including rape kits and screening for sexually transmitted diseases."

To be Indian is to be from the country of India. Just like to be American is to be from the country of Unites States of America. Please don't confuse Indians with Native Americans or Native Alaskans.

fmlndn71 It's obvious you are not educated on the United States Government because if you were you would know that 25 CFR it's title INDIANS and it dictates how the United States Government handles Indian issues. Yeah we are the only race that are handled in accordance with United States Federal Regulations 25 CFR INDIANS.
Emy Yes, but you understand that the actual facilities are named "Indian Health Service" clinic. Do you see how that's relevant in this article?
