WASHINGTON, March 10 (TNSjou) -- American Indian and Alaska Native people in the U.S. face a disproportionate risk of death from police violence when living on or near reservation lands. A study by researchers at Drexel University and the University of Washington found that 73 percent of these fatalities occur on or within 10 miles of reservation borders, despite those areas housing only 40 to 50 percent of the Indigenous population.
