Alcoholism stems tribe, a contribution to the high mortality
Like a virulent plague, alcohol bury Passamaquoddy tribal members twice and sometimes three times more often than other Maine men and women.
A 30-year Features verification of deaths between 1964 and 1993, shows the murder rate is seven times higher than the State average. They die by suicide and car accidents almost twice as often. Deaths due to liver cirrhosis are three times higher than for 1300 members from both live in reserves in the north-east of Maine.
The common cause of these high death threats, Tribal say health workers, alcohol abuse.
Maine’s Passamaquoddy root is not different from other American Indians across the country, the fight against alcoholism and drug addiction.
While alcohol for all races mortality is 6.8 percent, it is 38.4 per cent for American Indians, after India Health Service, a federal agency that manages health issues of India.
One way”of alcohol or other continue to generate half of all deaths of people in India,’’says Patricia mail, alcohol, treatment and prevention specialist, worked 16 years with the Service Indian health, and is now an adviser to private health.
Why alcoholism is most prevalent among American Indians?
Contrary to popular belief, e-mail indicates, there is no conclusive evidence that American Indians have a genetic predisposition to alcoholism.
”There are many crackpot theories out there,’’said e-mail. ”But research on the metabolism of Indians is quite mixed. It was not done enough to research, each drawing clear conclusions.”
High rates of poverty, unemployment, depression and discrimination are more factors contributing to the distress of alcohol American Indian, says e-mail.
The Passamaquoddy Indian reserves and Point Pleasant Township unemployment weighs about 50 per cent.
”The poverty and the conditions under which many people live in India, an environment or a sub-culture of drinking water in Indian communities,’’said e-mail. ”And if things and people desperate to feel neglected, alcohol is an excellent way of reassurance.”
