#19: Trouble in Texas

 If we talk about Native Americans in Texas, the statistics paint a mixed picture. According to the US Census Bureau, there are over 570,000 Native Americans in Texas, making up about 2% of the state’s population. However, the poverty rate for Native Americans in Texas is near twice the state’s average.

They also suffer lower educational and income rates compared to other groups. On the bright side, the Native American community in Texas is diverse and rich in culture. They have also made significant contributions to the state’s economy and way of life, particularly in the fields of agriculture, energy, and tourism.
