ABSTRACT
In this talk, Randall Akee, UCLA professor of Public Policy and American Indian Studies will share an overview of recent research that seeks to answer these questions. Focusing on American Indian and other Indigenous Peoples children, the research used a combination of administrative and survey-based data.
Dr. Akee will also examine how intergenerational mobility differs for American Indians and other groups in the U.S and summarize some data on differences in mortality for First Nations’ children and that of non-natives in Canada.
