Meriam Report

The Meriam Report, published in 1928, was a comprehensive study that examined the health, education, and living conditions of Native Americans, particularly those on reservations. Conducted by a team of experts, it revealed significant issues such as poverty, poor healthcare, inadequate schools, and government mismanagement. The report aimed to highlight these problems to improve living conditions and promote better policies for Native communities. Its findings influenced future reforms and increased awareness about Native American needs, marking an important step toward addressing longstanding inequalities.
