Current situation of Alcoholism in Native American culture
People in the Native American Culture use alcohol as a way to escape from the life they are living now. To hide from their problems
Native American teenagers have a higher 17 times chance of dying from alcoholism then another teen
Some places like Whiteclay Nebraska passed a bill that banned alcohol sales within 5 miles of Indian Country.
People try to exploit the people by offering bars and stores that sell liquor so the Native Americans can get their alcohol
