I could believe "still living there when he was 25". Might be a corrupted context statistic.
The life expectancy for males in the county (whole reservation) is 71-72 years. If 50% are dying in their "stupid nearly adult years" they are going to have to have bunch living past 100 to bring the average up.
- dionidium 11y agoIt is interesting how these sorts of things travel. When I talk to people about North St. Louis I get the impression that they think 1 out of every 2 people who live there are killed in a drive-by shooting, so I understand why someone would believe that half of all men on a reservation die before they're 25. It can't possibly be true, though.
