ST. PAUL, MN (MNN) - A new report highlights the impact of opioids on Minnesota tribal communities. The report shows that barriers still exist in preventing opioid abuse, including lack of funding and a lack of focus on “culture and values.” MDH Director of American Indian Health Jackie Dionne says Minnesota ranks highest among all states in deaths due to drug poisoning among American Indians and Alaska natives, “five times greater than the white Minnesota rate.”
