Short Abstract:

Minnesota's urban and rural Indian communities today face a similiar set of complex and daunting health problems.  No one overriding issue exists, nor does an overall solution.  While staff shortages, a dire lack of Indian health professionals, and inadequate financial resources play a role, poverty, racism, lifestyle, alcoholism, and cultural change and conflict all further complicate health problems for Indian people.
