Life expectancy in America had been on a steady increase over the past few decades. Then came the pandemic. But one group in particular was hit especially hard.
NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Life expectancy in America had been on a steady increase over the past few decades. Then came the pandemic.This summer, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention released startling statistics that life expectancy in America has fallen by nearly three years since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. Every ethnicity saw a drop, but none was as severe as the Native American population. Their life expectancy has declined more than 6 ½ years.
Wells said her tribe, and many others, saw many of their elders pass away in the early stretches of the pandemic.She is one of the only researchers to dedicate studies to the pandemic and the Native American community.Goldman's research found a community that, like every other, saw devastating losses among its older population. But in this community, it’s not just the elders.
In research, and in real life, that feeling of no protection, of being cut off from resources, has existed in too many tribes— for too many years. It was part of why Wells’ parents moved her family away from tribal land nearly a half-century ago.
