Native Americans suffer disproportionately from many social and
health disparities. High rates of poverty, exposure to
environmental toxins, and various forms of violence all increase
the risk of health problems, including disabilities, yet there is
very little published scholarship concerning Native American
experiences with disabilities. In collecting contributions on
various aspects of disability in Native American populations in one
volume, this book seeks to redress this lack of attention. Writing
about regions of the United States, Canada, and Australia, and
spanning a diverse range of settings from remote rural areas, to
reservations, to college campuses, the authors are attentive to the
impact of specific environments on their inhabitants. Taking into
account both physical and social environment, and recognizing the
importance of cultural context, this book is a good starting point
for anyone interested in developing a better understanding of the
experience of Native peoples living with disabilities. This book
was originally published as a special issue of the Journal of
Social Work in Disability & Rehabilitation.
