The safe water crisis is a problem that’s hidden in plain sight
found that someone's race is the greatest indicator as to the likelihood of their living without access to safe water. Three out of every 1,000 white Americans lack complete plumbing in their homes, and five out of every 1,000 Black and Latinx Americans are similarly affected. But that number jumps to 58 out of every 1,000 Native households;, around 5.2 million Native peoples live in the U.S.
Income and location also serve as factors as to whether people have access to clean water, as does unemployment and education rates. Many Native peoples in particular live on reservations that are supposed to be self-determining . Per NPR, the Indian Health Service estimated a cost of $200 million to provide safe water to the Navajo Nation alone; that is just one of the 326 reservations in the country.
