She's a native doctor. She draws my attention to things I didn't pay a lot of attention to before, like this:
Kerry cites figures showing that Native Americans are 770 percent more likely to die from alcoholism, 650 percent more likely to die from tuberculosis, 420 percent more likely to die from diabetes, and 52 percent more likely to die from pneumonia or influenza than the rest of the United States, including white and minority populations.
That's today. Today. Hannah was built to be operating around the 1890's-1910's or so. She and I are both horrified by those figures.
