Page "Native Americans in the United States" Paragraph 131

Native Americans rank at the bottom of nearly every social statistic: highest teen suicide rate of all minorities at 18. 5 per 100, 000, highest rate of teen pregnancy, highest high school drop-out rate at 54 %, lowest per capita income, and unemployment rates between 50 % to 90 %.

Many Native Americans have become urbanized to survive, moving to urban centers in the states where their reservations are, or out of state.

Others have entered academic and political fields that take them away from the reservations.
