The SAMHSA panel also put together a fact sheet on homelessness among Native Americans, stating facts such as “behavioral health issues, broken families, domestic violence and shortage of housing” play an important role in homelessness (1). However, Native Americans face even more complex challenges, such as “acculturation, traditional values ​​clashing with modern life, racism and stereotypes, and unresolved pain resulting from historical trauma” (1). There are many stereotypes about Native Americans. Some of these include being alcoholics, gamblers, and not being mentally stable. Jackson, the main character of “What You Pawn I Will Redeem " is a homeless man on the streets of Seattle. He has a drinking problem, which has caused him health problems, and does not spend the money he receives wisely. This shows that the stereotypes associated with Native Americans are, in some cases, extremely likely to be true. Homelessness and stereotypes are the central points of this story and are addressed through the painting Homeless in Seattle. In conjunction with these stereotypes, SAMHSA conducted research on the health of homeless Native Americans. They concluded that “high rates of alcohol and substance abuse, mental disorders, suicide, violence, and behavior-related chronic illnesses in American Indian and Alaska Native (AI/AN) communities are well documented” (7 ). Many of the health problems Native Americans face are due to their individual behavioral health issues. In other words, the way they consume alcohol causes many of their health problems. SAMHSA found that for Native Americans “the alcohol-related death rate is more than five times greater than the U.S. rate for all races”.”
