<h1><span class="date">1976: </span> <span class="title">Government admits unauthorized sterilization of Indian Women</span></h1>
|
||
<p>A study by the U.S. General Accounting Office finds that 4 of the 12 Indian Health Service regions sterilized 3,406 American Indian women without their permission between 1973 and 1976. The GAO finds that 36 women under age 21 were sterilized during this period despite a court-ordered moratorium on sterilizations of women younger than 21.</p>
|
||
<p>Two years earlier, an independent study by Dr. Connie Pinkerman-Uri, Choctaw/Cherokee, found that one in four American Indian women had been sterilized without her consent. Pinkerman-Uri’s research indicated that the Indian Health Service had “singled out full-blooded Indian women for sterilization procedures.”</p> <!-- Theme -->
