Indigenous peoples around the world face a myriad of challenges and issues that are often overlooked or ignored by mainstream society. These issues range from the loss of traditional lands and resources to cultural genocide, discrimination, and marginalisation. One of the most pressing issues that many Indigenous people face is related to their health, with health concerns often being ignored or dismissed by healthcare providers and policymakers. In this article, we will discuss the challenges that Indigenous people face in terms of their health, as well as what needs to be done to address these issues.

Firstly, it is important to acknowledge that Indigenous people are among the most marginalised and disadvantaged populations globally. They often suffer from higher rates of poverty, unemployment, and discrimination, which can lead to poor health outcomes. Indigenous people also tend to have lower access to healthcare services and resources, which can further exacerbate their health problems. For example, in the United States, Indigenous people have higher rates of chronic diseases such as diabetes, heart disease, and cancer compared to the general population.

Despite these challenges, there is still hope for improving the health outcomes of Indigenous people. One of the most important steps that can be taken is to increase awareness of the health issues facing Indigenous people, both among healthcare providers and policymakers, as well as the general public. By bringing attention to these issues, we can work towards creating more effective and culturally appropriate healthcare services and resources for Indigenous people.

New York City has marked 23 years since the 9/11 terror attacks that claimed nearly 3,000 lives and reshaped the nation.

Families of the victims gather at the 9/11 Memorial, keeping a sacred promise to remember the fallen with six moments of silence.

These moments mark key events from that tragic morning: the strikes on the Twin Towers, the Pentagon, and the crash of Flight 93 in Pennsylvania.

Also a moment of unity on the campaign trail, as President Biden, Trump, and Vice President Kamala Harris came together at the 9/11 ceremony. #featured #trending

Kamala Harris and Donald Trump squared off in their first and possibly only debate, with both sides taking some big swings.

Harris wasted no time poking fun at Trump’s rallies, even daring viewers to see for themselves.

That dig clearly got under Trump’s skin.

At one point, Trump bizarrely claimed immigrants were eating pets in Ohio – a claim swiftly debunked by the moderators.

Harris hit Trump hard on his election fraud claims, reminding voters that 81 million Americans fired him in 2020.

Things heated up when the two accused each other of using the Justice Department for political attacks – calling each other threats to democracy. #featured #trending #hotshots
