Investing in Native American Food Sovereignty and Food Security
A study of food insecurity among Native Americans, based on data for the decade 2000-2010, found that they are more likely to experience food insecurity than the U.S. population as a whole. One main cause of disproportionate poverty and food insecurity is historical inequities in federal policies and underinvestment in the well-being of Native Americans, including those who live on reservations.
