We applaud Dr. Edward Mortimer's Commentary on the health status of the American Indian population (Pediatrics, 51:1065, 1973). Public statements that "Indian health care is inadequate because it is inadequately funded" and ". . . less than the minimum (money) is provided" are long overdue, and we concur completely with the necessity for us all to help Indians express and fulfill their health needs. We wish, however, to take issue with several remarks regarding the quality and scope of care provided in and through the Indian Health Service.

Death rates for nonmotor vehicle related accidents, heart disease, and murder were obtained from the U.S. Indian Health Service for all 11 health service areas. In contrast to predictions derived from Tabachnick and Klugman's hypothesis that the amount of death instinct per capita in different regions should be constant, no statistically significant negative correlations were found, for these three variables. These findings replicate results, from earlier studies using Native and non-Native American populations.
