Native Americans and substance abuse  

Définition

  • While Native American, Alaskan Indian, and Native Hawaiian societies have traditionally used intoxicating substances in religious rituals, the introduction of alcoholic beverages by European explorers and settlers in the New World can be considered the beginning of substance abuse by the Indigenous people of the United States. This entry reviews patterns and rates of substance use and abuse among Native Americans and examines causes of substance abuse in this population.
