Donald Warne, MD, MPH, is the incoming associate dean of diversity, equity and inclusion at the University of North Dakota School of Medicine and Health Sciences and an Oglala Lakota tribesman.

Warne, who grew up in on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in South Dakota, recently spoke about inter-generational trauma and the Third World health conditions he sees in Indian Country at a healthcare journalists' meeting.

MedPage Today caught up with him by phone to discuss some of the health disparities he sees on Indian reservations. American Indians have twice the rate of overdose deaths as the general population, higher rates of suicide, depression and diabetes.
