I did a survey on SurveyMonkey.com and so far I've gotten 24 responses. Lack of information has been the biggest issue. I shaped this survey as an awareness module which would lead the consumer to question the bigger picture, which happens to be the core of my problem. Lack of media coverage and lack of overall information about native americans.
When asked if they had ever been to a reservation?
-the popular answer was NO.
How would they imagine it?
-Poor, desolate place. People needing to be saved by a stronger society (USA)

95% would volunteer and help end this epidemic and would love to get more information.
