Poverty is one of the largest problems that Native Americans living on reserves have to face. There are many factors that can cause and effect poverty. For example; poor education, poor health care, high food prices, poor housing situations, and lack of proper sanitation. Without proper education, people are unable to secure jobs that pay well enough for them to be able to support their families. Poor healthcare can causes people to die of easily cured diseases. Marginalised groups and vulnerable individuals are often worst affected, deprived of the information, money or access to health services that would help them prevent and treat disease (n.d).
