<h1><span class="date">1887: </span> <span class="title">Tuberculosis is a leading cause of death in Indian Country</span></h1>
<p>A U.S. study of tuberculosis deaths among Indians on reservations in 13 states finds that the rate of death ranges from 45 per 1,000 deaths on Nevada reservations, to 625 per 1,000 deaths on New York reservations. Other studies find tuberculosis to be a leading cause of death in American Indian and Alaska Native communities.</p> <!-- Theme -->
