Walking while Native

Indigenous people have the highest pedestrian death rate of any ethnic group in the United States, according to the National Center for Health Statistics. Limited access to vehicles, lack of lighting along streets and a lack of reliable, or any, public transportation all act as barriers to Indigenous people traveling safely.
