    "GENEVA -- Native #Hawaiians want the US military off their lands, and training exercises in the #Pacific shut down. An #aquifer has been poisoned in #Hawaii, and unexploded ordinances left behind are endangering their lives.

    "Appealing to the United Nations in Geneva, Indigenous in Guam also want the #US military off their lands. The Pacific Indigenous Women's Network urged the United Nations General Assembly to join the effort for the removal of the US military from #Guam.

    "#Indigenous are offering testimony today, and all week, before the UN Expert Mechanism on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, of the UN #HumanRights Council.

    "Around the world, #IndigenousPeoples are under attack by military forces. In #Colombia there are land mines.

    "In Peru, the military is attacking, torturing, and killing, those who are isolated and have marched against the current government. More than 40 people, including Indigenous children, have died since protests began in #Peru in December.

    "#Indigenous in #Guatemala echoed those descriptions of militarized force.

    "Throughout the #Amazon, military forces are killing the people, and seizing the land under the guise of the war on drugs. Indigenous lands are being stolen for illegal #logging and #mining."

    4/5
    ...female #NativeAmericans in #NorthAmerica is THIRTY-TWO times higher than the #US average.

    (If I made a mistake somewhere, let me know. I should not have written this on a smartphone.)

    Note:
    I did not include #PacificIslanders and #Hawaiians, a further 0.2% of the #US population, as they did not seem to be included in the 5.712.
    It would have been better to use 2022 data for the missing females, too.
    Particularly in Canada, people could name more than one...
