Here is more on the Cheyenne Sioux tribe and where they sit. simplysmiles.org/our-projects/cheyenne-river-sioux-tribe/why-these-children-need-your-help-so-desperately/Not all bad though they do have a nice hospital in eagle Butte and also a very nice school there as well my wife taught there when we first moved put to that part of SD. The issue being she would start the year with 20-24 3 rd graders by the end of the school year she would have 12-14 kids left at best. A teacher can do only so much when the parents allow their kids to be truant from school. Ass a white person you have little say and almost no control over that issue? It ate at her very much and a reason she had to leave teaching there. She put her heart into those kids and was heart breaking to see them go that route. The school has excellent resources but to put them into use and get parents to comply was not easy at all. A total culture change is needed if you want positive results that again is fact! More parent buy in or you fight the largest hill one could ever imagine.

I don't need your data we have over a half dozen reservations here and I am familiar with the data and yes we can both talk about how we can or do help but that has little to do with the discussion on how state data should or could be recorded. The only reason ND may be skewed a bit is that your population is very low and that can throw averages a bit. What would be most interesting to know is since the oil field rush what has that done to suicide rates. I would assume that the Native American rates have been high for a long time based on your constant referencing it as being the thing that makes your state look worse in that category then it should be in your opinion.

Bryce all ready mentioned that by staying ND has saw 50,000 new residents since 2009. The data shows what I was talking about and it isn't my opinion when you have less people those types of numbers sway the figures more. Simple math.

No it is not simple math it is statistics which draws on huge regressions and ND was high per capita and you are trying to tell us why that should not be so. We don't see other residents of other states trying to debate why they are being misrepresented by data for other maybe not so good or bad cultural and social data. Also suicide may be the tip of the iceberg of several social issues that lead to that end as well.

In am not saying they shouldn't be so I am saying why can II find lower numbers? The reason being they are not all getting their data from the same sources or the numbers wouldn't be so far off. has to be a reason correct?

to me trying to define "happy" is probably the biggest issue. Survivors may all be happy but what were issues that cause death in whatever form. I am a survivor of combat but to define my return home as "happy" is probably not a good definition of how I feel.

I wonder what side of the state most of the people polled were from? How many respondents?
