Infant Mortality on the Yakama Indian Reservation, 1914-1964.
Trafzer, Clifford E.
American Indian Culture and Research Journal, v23 n3 p77-96 1999
Infants under age 1 constituted the most deaths recorded for any age group among Native people on the Yakama Indian Reservation (Washington), between 1914 and 1964. Poverty conditions, including poor diet and unsanitary housing; social anomie; and lack of adequate health care contributed to infant deaths. Data tables and figures detail infant mortality rates and other demographic data. (SV)
